Welcome

The success of the J M Miller Group comes from the relationships we have established with our clients and their families. These life-long relationships are based on integrity, honesty, constant communication, and putting our client’s interests first, as if they are family – which is how we would want our family to be treated. We provide comprehensive, customized, and objective investment advice for every generation of our client’s families and help with multi-generational planning and transitions.

By asking the right questions we get to know our clients on a personal level – their goals, concerns, fears, and what they are most passionate about. Our clients care about what they can DO with their money. Can they have the retirement lifestyle they envision? Can they send children and grandchildren to college? Will they be able to support elderly parents? How can they best support the charities that matter most to them?

We do our best work and provide the most value to people who have comprehensive planning and investing needs and who have savings of $500,000 or more. We understand that Wealth Management has never been more complicated. There are more and more investment choices, changing tax and estate laws, changes to Social Security, Medicare, and retirement plan funding rules. Using our skills, experience, and the global resources at Morgan Stanley, we are here to meet these challenges and to help guide you, so that you can make the best and most informed choices for you and for those you love.

We use a comprehensive financial planning process, along with sophisticated market and economic analysis to help our clients define and meet their goals, and we are committed to providing first rate service by being available to respond quickly and efficiently should any question or concern arise. Our clients truly matter to us and you’ll know that from day one.

    Understanding your Savings Vehicles
    When it comes to retirement savings, the most important thing is to get started—after all, time is one of your greatest assets.

    Transitioning Into a Retirement Mindset
    Most retirement preparations focus on financial planning, but it is equally crucial to look at personal considerations that will help you with easing the fear of the unknown. Given that many people overlook the psychological adjustments of retirement, we can help you understand why it’s important to be emotionally (not just financially) ready for retirement.

    Once you determine what kind of retiree you want to be, we will work together to take a closer look at the risks that might be standing between you and your retirement goals. No matter how well you save during the accumulation phase, it’s critical to plan how you convert those assets to income. We can help you navigate the challenges that may arise.

    Impact of Taxes
    The strategies you use when taking out your retirement savings can have a significant impact on how much you’ll pay in taxes and may help you keep more of the returns.

3An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
