Investment management by a
CFA charterholder

Investment management services by a CFA® charterholder that take a portfolio view and adhere to your preferred investment approach, from discretionary to non-discretionary. The target portfolio can also be optimized for tax-savings strategies when combined with knowledge of the financing approach for retirement.

Financial planning by a CFP
(Certified Financial Planner)

We take a holistic view of your current financial situation, expected cash flows, current coverage levels, and other areas and use the latest technology to run scenarios that assess the probability of achieving your financial goals and funding your retirement. Additionally, alternative plans and strategies are proposed that would likely increase the probability of a favorable outcome.

Tax planning by a CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)

Investment management and goal-based planning can beneficially be paired with long-term tax planning. Making sure that investments are allocated optimally between various types of taxable, tax deferred, and tax exempt accounts to achieve the maximum after-tax amounts can provide substantial benefits to long term cash flow available for living expenses and other life goals. To achieve these tax advantages, planning needs to start in the present for benefits that are delivered often years or decades afterward.

Retirement

A good retirement plan takes into account major goals that precede retirement as well as the retirement period itself. Additionally, different scenarios need to be assessed for factors that can vary unexpectedly or that have ranges that fluctuate. Finally, late and post retirement goals should also be addressed, including health care, assisted living, and target amounts to leave to heirs.

College savings

Education is among the most important assets to leave with one’s children or grandchildren, and the inflation rate for this good is much higher than the overall economy’s inflation rate. Prior to retirement, this is often a major goal that individuals and families seek to address.

Risk management

Be prepared. The best way to do so is to anticipate what material events could happen and observe how they impact your net worth and probability of reaching your financial goals. Once that is known, we can take steps now to mitigate those risks. Life insurance is a great example of this, as is stress testing portfolios for how recessionary events could impair retirement goals.
