In an era where many large enterprises seemingly operate without values, we believe it is important for all parties to understand the values of people with whom they are dealing. Our values are:

• Nurture Relationships: We believe our relationships with people are our most important asset. We are now collectively discovering that happiness and sustainability in all its forms can not be attained by focusing on the single variable of economic growth.
• Be Excellent: Our lives are short and we might as well be the best we possibly can be. As Vince Lombardi said, “If you are not the best ever, your record does not mean anything.
• Be Reliable: People need to be able to count on us. So it is imperative that we always do what we say we are going to do.
• Be Discreet: Many matters are best handled confidentially. We must always operate discreetly and our associates and clients must be able to rely on that.
• Be Innovative: Progress relies on innovation - we must do our part to keep things moving forward.
• Be Appreciative: We have no excuse for poor manners. Appreciation in its broader sense includes being considerate, responsive, straightforward.
• Systems Viewpoint: We have now discovered from sub-particle physics that all of nature is comprised of systems of increasing complexity operating dynamically and non-linearly. To act responsibly, we must consider our investments from a systems perspective with careful consideration of the effects upon all interacting systems.
