Our Services

As the world evolves, so do the financial products in the market. Therefore, choosing the ones to best meet your needs can be quite complicated, and that is why we are here to help.

 

Wealth Management

Managing ones assets, implementing diverse investment strategies, and saving for retirement are some of the key components to a financial plan. We know preserving current wealth and determining the proper amount to save is critical. Therefore, by diversifying your assets, understanding your financial condition, and accessing your future needs,  our advisors will establish a plan to help you meet your financial objectives*.

 

Insurance

Risk management and insurances are  essential to any comprehensive financial security plan. Life insurance, Long Term Care, Disability Income and Liability Protection are some of the ways you can protect yourself, and your family, from undue hardship and unpredictable events.

 

Paycheck Generation

After a lifetime of receiving an employee paycheck , creating a smooth and seamless transition to a retirement paycheck is imperative. Steady cash flow with a direct deposit to your bank account, just like your former employer did,  can take anxiety out of your day to day spending.

 

Estate Planning

A death is always difficult, but it can be less challenging with a proper estate plan. Estate Planning ahead of a death can ease the financial transition in a very emotional time. Probate avoidance, estate tax minimization,and the peace of mind of knowing where your assets will go are a few of the benefits of this type of planning.

 

Alternative Investments

Investing in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are not the only options anymore. Sometimes it can make sense for an investor to utilize a strategy that incorporates dynamic investments that aren’t always correlated with the stock market. Most investments only make money when markets go up. It's critical to have some of your money allocated for potential growth in all circumstances. +

 

Charitable Giving

Everyone has their own reason for gifting their assets or a portion of their income to charitable organizations. Some find comfort in helping others who are less fortunate, some simply want to share their good fortune, and some  are looking to maximize tax savings opportunities.

*Asset allocation or diversification do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
+You should be aware of and carefully consider the following points before determining whether alternative investments are appropriate for you.  Alternative investments include, but are not limited to, investments in hedge funds, fund of hedge funds, CTAs, private equity funds, real estate funds and managed account platforms. Alternative investments are very speculative and are highly risky.  Alternative investments are not regulated. They may employ speculative and risky investment strategies. They may have limited liquidity and carry high management fees.  They may have little or no operating or performance history. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. There are no guarantees of profit.
THE ABOVE GENERAL SUMMARY IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST OF THE RISKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS AND, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT, IS SUBJECT TO THE MORE COMPLETE AND SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES CONTAINED IN SUCH ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT'S RESPECTIVE OFFERING DOCUMENTS. BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT, AN INVESTOR SHOULD THOROUGHLY REVIEW AN ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT'S OFFERING DOCUMENTS WITH THE INVESTOR'S FINANCIAL, LEGAL AND TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INVESTMENT IN THE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT IS SUITABLE FOR THE INVESTOR IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND TAX SITUATION.
