Our Commitment to You as Your Financial Advisors
Initially:
- Assist in developing and prioritizing realistic financial goals by conducting an in-depth analysis of your current financial status as it pertains to your income and investments, insurance planning, and estate planning.
On a continuing basis:
- Meet to review the initial financial goals on a periodic basis to determine if any modifications in the implemented strategy need to be considered in light of changes to personal and/or environmental circumstances.
- Analyze and interpret current economic events to determine their impact on the investment strategy being utilized; discuss any changes suggested by the advisor.
- With regard to taxation, confirm that all possible strategies are considered in minimizing the payment of income and death taxes, if applicable, and adjust as necessary to changing events and/or tax laws.
- Confirm no changes are necessary in coverage relating to all insurance matters, including life, disability, and long-term care protection.
- Confirm that cash flow needs are being met and review where it is most advantageous to generate the needed income; consider if distributions should be taken for tax considerations.
- Review current company benefits, if applicable, to ensure benefits properly coordinate with the overall financial goals and current investment strategy; coordinate strategies around company benefits, if necessary.
- Review the current allocation of the investment strategy to confirm it meets current risk tolerance.
- Review current estate plan and beneficiary designations to ensure no changes are required.
- Communicate ongoing educational information utilizing e-mail and social media along with quarterly newsletter (to supplement in-person meetings and phone conversations).
