    Step 4: Monitoring & Performance Tracking

    We will be constantly monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. We will maintain consistent communication to ensure that your concerns and requests are always addressed promptly. I will be available to you whenever you need me to be so I can provided you with the best service possible.

    401(k) Rollovers

    If you have a 401(k) from a previous job, I make it easy to consolidate your assets into one account so you can monitor your progress and investment results all in one place. This helps simplify your financial life, keeps you organized, and helps makes your money work harder for you.

    529 Plans

    529 plans are a great option when saving for education for a loved one or yourself. I can help you understand how they work and how you can gain control and structure in your education saving.

    Alternative Investments

    You have access to a broad range of strategies in diverse markets that will provide specialized expertise in areas such as private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, future markets, and more.

    Generational Planning

    Generational planning is an important component of leaving a lasting legacy for your family. Together we can create a plan that allows your children and grandchildren to benefit from your life's work.

    Annuities

    Annuities provide a steady stream of income in a tax-efficient way. They can help in retirement planning and be an important part of your portfolio.

    Portfolio Management

    I will work with you to identify an investment strategy that is tailored to meet your needs. Throughout our relationship you will have direct access to me so we can continuously adjust your portfolio as necessary.

    Certificates of Deposit

    CDs are used as a way to hold a fixed amount of money for a fixed period of time. They provide a fixed interest rate with predictable returns.

    Retirement Planning

    A successful retirement requires a focused retirement plan. I want to make sure that you achieve your long term retirement goals so you can benefit from all of your hard work that has gotten you to where you are today.

    Life Insurance

    It is important to make sure that your loved ones are taken care of in case something happens to you. Life insurance ensures that the chosen beneficiary receives a death benefit payment upon death of the policy holder, assuming the policy is in force and all required premiums are paid.

    Long Term Care Insurance

    Long-term care insurance helps to pay the cost of a broad range of care services an individual may need over an extended period of time. Ensuring that you are taken care of over time allows you to get the assistance you need while living the life you want.

    Municipal Bonds

    Municipal bonds can be used as a way to create a reliable stream of income. They can be valuable in several different types of long-term planning. I am here to help you navigate this type of investment and all of its details.
