"I Just Need ..."

Sometimes you may feel confident in your planning but you need help implementing certain parts. Maybe you want to set up a pension maximization strategy, or need Life Insurance or Long Term Care Insurance, or need investment services.

Our A La Carte Services Include:

Asset Management

Asset Management

We believe in affordable, strategic investment allocations that are tailored to your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.

We have no allegiances to money managers or fund companies; our allegiance is to our clients.

We believe that individual investors have proven time and time again that they can be their own worst enemies by making emotional decisions with their money. They sell when markets are down and buy when markets are up. They act on "hot tips" and allow personal bias into their investing.

We bring value to our clients by helping to create well diversified portfolios and managing our clients emotions helping to prevent poor decisions prompted by fear or euphoria.

Retirement Planning

Retirement Planning

People are living longer and retiring earlier. Many Americans are woefully unprepared to generate increasing income streams that will provide for a quarter to a third of a century.

We can help you determine how much you should be saving, what the asset allocation should be, and which types of accounts may be best for you.

Retirement planning is incredibly important; you only get one chance to get it right.

Pension Maximization Strategies

Pension Maximization Strategies

Simply put, pension maximization is the practice of utilizing privately held life insurance to provide financial protection for a spouse or loved one in the event you pass away first in retirement.

The goal is to allow you to select the maximum single life annuity option from your defined benefit pension instead of a survivorship option while still providing protection for your "survivor."

By doing so, you can enjoy a larger pension payment and avoid the potential problem of your survivor pre-deceasing you and leaving you with a lower pension benefit for the rest of your life.

We can educate you on this strategy, help evaluate your options, and assist you in deciding if a pension maximization strategy is right for you and your family.

Upon deciding, we will implement the life insurance for you. There are many important considerations involved with this strategy, which is not appropriate or possible for everyone.

Life insurance is subject to underwriting wherein individual health, business/personal activities, and other factors are considered prior to policy issue.
