Investment Management
The day-to-day management of your investment assets according to the goals spelled out in your Financial Plan and Investment Policy Statement.  Portfolios are designed to deliver growth, income or a combination of the two without compromising your desired level of safety.  Our guiding investment philosophy is to identify those investments that have proven to provide consistently strong performance and stability with limited volatility.

Investment portfolios are managed by both us personally as well as through the selection of third party professional money managers.  Investment vehicles generally consist of: 

  • Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds And Institutional Managers

(U.S./International Stocks & Bonds)

  • Alternative Investments (U.S. & International Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Etc.)
  • Fixed & Variable Annuities

Risk Management
Many clients have previously been oversold insurance.  If we can reduce unnecessary coverage, or reduce the premium paid for the same amount of coverage needed, every dollar saved can go towards fulfilling your financial goals.  Identical to Risk Management as outlined in our Comprehensive Financial Planning service #1 above, this option is offered a la carte.
 

  • Risk Management determines the appropriate amount and types of insurance needed and for what time frame, including:

Life Insurance                                             Disability Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance                           Health Insurance
Home & Automobile Insurance                      Business & Estate Insurance

We analyze your alternatives for acquiring proper protection; suggest a plan of action; implement the plan and regularly monitor overall coverage to remain consistent with your goals.
