The inception and continued success of the AMP program led by Al Cumplido and Marcin Krolikowski has served as an asset to me and my clients. As a successful Certified Financial Planner and advisor for more than 21 years, I have extensive experience in working with managed account platforms and comparing what they have to offer [clients].
The in-house AMP platform has contributed to my vision of taking a team approach when assessing client’s need and goals, as this has helped to retain, “delight”, as well as attract new clients to my practice. More than with any other similar program, this has helped to focus more effort on my areas of more excellent expertise and allow for Al and Marcin to allocate, rebalance, and manage the mechanics of the various portfolios available. It has helped to make managing client assets more smarter and more efficient. The team is very dedicated to its day-to-day operations and has performed exceptionally well, not only with performance considered but also with tools and research that have been made available to clients regularly. One example of this is a monthly co-branded newsletter.
Clients appreciate the accessibility to the team as well as the credentials and many years of knowledge combined. AMP is an asset to my practice and to the firm and its affiliated branch offices!

It’s been about seven years since I began investing many of my clients within your AMP advisory portfolios, and it’s been a rewarding experience for both myself and my clients. Your actively managed portfolios have truly redefined the term “active.” Your Three Bucket Portfolios which consist of both active and passive mutual and index funds, have certainly benefited from your unique, disciplined investment strategy of buying into market dips of 10, 20, and 30% from recent market highs have provided my clients with the feeling that the fees they’re paying for active portfolio management are worth the cost as they have seen the benefits in their returns which are often in the top 10 and 20% of your peers on the Osaic/Envestnet Platform. Your All Equity and Dividend Growth & Income Managed Stock Portfolios have each provided focused exposure to Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Blend Stocks, which have a value tilt and consistently pay rising dividends to clients, respectively, have been excellent choices for my High-Net-Worth Clients who much prefer individual equities over open-end mutual funds or ETFs. In addition, your willingness to allow clients to get access to ongoing taxable gain and tax loss harvesting within these equity portfolios has been a tremendous benefit to these clients on both a real after-tax return basis. But these unique money management features and benefits are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the value I’ve gained from working with AMP Consulting Group.
The most potent benefit or “Advisor ALPHA” that I have received from working with you both is the additional timely market commentary pieces you create during times of significant market volatility, your concise Mid-Year Year-End Market Outlook pieces, as well as the customized pieces you are willing to develop and brand with me as the Advisor and your AMP team as my Asset Management Partner, have all been tremendous. In addition, the periodic client-facing Zoom Calls that you offer to speak to your Mid-Year and Year-End Market Pieces have been invaluable and have received rave reviews from my many clients who have watched them. In addition, your monthly market insight Zoom Calls with us Advisors have also been invaluable in helping me remain up to date on timely macro-economic and market changes to be well informed when providing fiduciary advice to my clients as a fee-based Financial Planner. This has been a huge differentiator from many other Asset Managers who need the band with or willingness to provide such customized and timely updates directly to their investor clients. This going the EXTRA MILE has helped me win rave reviews from my clients, not to mention the many personal client referrals that have come from their appreciation of receiving such concierge-level service from a small boutique Money Manager team. Finally, your willingness to help Advisors like me create customized investment pieces and brand them as a team has allowed me to obtain content to share at very high-end client appreciation events, which I host, knowing that the content that they receive at these events is timely, relevant and target towards their client demographic. Not to mention your generous willingness to appear in person at two of these events each year and speak to these pieces has been a real game changer with my clients.
In closing, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you both over these many years, and I look forward to all the fantastic ideas and plans you have for AMP consulting group to take its Advisor and client advisory experience to an even higher level. This type of access to such educated, professionally accredited, and dedicated professionals has given me the absolute confidence to know that I can compete against and win any new client advisory relationship in large part because of the incredible AMP team that’s a partner in my financial planning practice.

Working with the AMP team has fundamentally changed my business for the better. Our relationship allows me to rely on a team of experts to filter and research our investment choices and manage our investment portfolios from a high level. In addition, they manage the investments from a weekly, monthly, and quarterly trading perspective, which is invaluable to me. This has freed up time for me to focus on the financial planning component of my business, which is really where my strength is.
Additionally, Al and Marcin have proven to be helpful when it comes to either meeting new clients or even having reviews for more high-net-worth clients. It provides a second layer of knowledge for the client, which provides a greater level of comfort for those clients.
Overall, the AMP team is such a fantastic resource and helped me tremendously grow and manage my business.

Case Study #1
Maximizing Executive Wealth Through Strategic Stock Liquidation and Tax Alpha Strategies
Brief
Our team collaborated with a senior executive who was awarded stock options following an acquisition by a publicly traded company. Through a sophisticated blend of fundamental and technical analysis, we facilitated the liquidation of these assets at peak valuations, significantly enhancing the executive's financial portfolio.
Approach
Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, we combined in-depth market analysis with an understanding of the executive's unique financial position to time the market effectively. Simultaneously, we implemented a comprehensive financial planning strategy that leveraged tax alpha strategies to optimize the client's tax liabilities and enhance overall wealth.
Results
The executive's portfolio saw an exceptional increase in value, with liquidation executed at incredibly favorable valuations, significantly exceeding market averages. Our tax alpha strategies further compounded this success, adding hundreds of thousands of dollars to the client's net worth, demonstrating our capability to navigate complex market conditions and tax environments effectively.

Case Study #2
Enhancing Advisory Services Through Customized Investment Programs and Strategic Support
Brief
Our consulting group partnered with an experienced financial advisor with over $1 million GDC to develop a fiduciary-focused investment advisory program, tailored to the unique needs of her client base. Through a thorough discovery process, we crafted a suite of scalable model portfolios and provided strategic support, significantly reducing her operational costs.
Approach
The process began with an in-depth discovery phase to understand the investment beliefs, goals of the advisor's clients, cost-saving targets, and compliance requirements. We then delivered scalable model portfolios, assisted with annuity allocation support that was critical to her practice. Further, we offered white-labeled marketing services, and provided strategic support at client events, all under a cost-effective flat fee consulting structure.
Results
The advisor now benefits from a bespoke investment advisory program that aligns with her practice's unique needs and goals, enhancing the value delivered to her clients. This strategic partnership has resulted in annual savings of approximately $300,000 in fees, which would have been paid to a generic third-party asset manager, showcasing our ability to provide tailored, impactful financial solutions.
