What Can A Financial Adviser Do For You?

Whether your financial affairs are relatively simple or very complex, working with a professional financial adviser can help provide financial security. A financial adviser can offer insight on how to:

Fund your retirement: Even if you’ve accumulated financial resources for what could be 15, 20, or 30 years of retirement, you’ll need a plan to maximize and protect those assets for as long as possible.
Purchase a quality education: College costs continue to rise annually.
Develop a realistic investment plan: A workable plan should seek to achieve your desired level of return without taking on more risk (or more kinds of risk) than you feel comfortable with.
Protect current and just as important, future assets: Without proper life and disability insurance and estate planning, all of your other planning could be wasted, depleted by circumstances beyond your control.

Offer Prudent and Timely Advice
As a Certified Financial Planner
as well as investment professional, a financial adviser has a greater understanding of the economy and markets; more time to evaluate financial strategies; and greater access to comprehensive information.

As independent financial advisers affiliated with Linsco/Private Ledger (LPL), we can make use of unique, firsthand research of mutual funds; multiple sources of traditional reviews of individual securities and mutual funds; and proprietary software for integrated estate, retirement and college planning.

Monitor and Manage Your Personalized Strategy
A qualified financial adviser can build long-term strategies that balance your financial objectives and constraints, your time horizon and your tolerance for risk, then measure them against your short and long-term goals.

Simplify the Decisions
A financial adviser’s job is to pare down the choices. There are more than 10,000 mutual funds, plus thousands of annuities, insurance options and individual securities to choose from. We’ll help identify those that fit your parameters. By identifying appropriate options – including ones that are difficult to discover on your own – and focusing on your objectives, an adviser can save you considerable time and effort.

Ensure Accountability
Last but certainly not least, financial advisers ensure that each entity involved (you, the adviser and all other suppliers of financial products and services) understands what it must contribute to help make your plans work.

We will strive to provide the satisfaction you seek with superior service which earns trust and confidence. We can help you meet your unique financial challenges through a total wealth management approach. Each area is important individually, but managing them collectively is one of the most important factors in your overall financial success.

This approach to investing can also help you reduce your exposure to taxes, meet your insurance needs and provide a plan to successfully transfer your wealth to your children and grandchildren.

Products and services include:
Mutual funds
Annual portfolio review – to review your current holdings and help you make any necessary changes or adjustments.
Insurance – life, disability, long term care and short term health to protect your independence and assets
