Core Dividends®

• The portfolio seeks to invest in globally dominate companies that have demonstrated the ability and intention of paying consistent, rising dividends to attempt to provide a continually increasing income stream to counteract the impact of inflation.
• The CORE DIVIDENDS® portfolio may be appropriate for investors who might be worried they are running out of time to position themselves for financially secure retirement
• For Investors in accumulation mode, this core portfolio's goal of compounding dividend growth may help build meaningful long-term wealth
Core Appreciation
The primary objective of the CORE APPRECIATION portfolio is to grow wealth in a concentrated portfolio of companies that demonstrate efficient use of capital and resources.
The portfolio aims to buy high quality stocks from broad economic sectors for appreciation over the calendar year.
CORE APPRECIATION can be appropriate for investors willing to tolerate fluctuations in a concentrated growth portfolio over the one year holding period. The unique investment style of CORE APPRECIATION should complement broadly diversified investment accounts.
The Strategy's primary objective is capital appreciation, income is a secondary objective.

Financial Well Being Checklist
Dealing with death is never easy. Aside from coping with the loss of a loved one, legal matters also require immediate attention. That is why we help you plan ahead to ensure that your wishes and your will are followed.
Learn MoreOur Process
We recognize that clients have different needs and objectives. Consequently we work hard to understand their priorities, whether they are retirement planning, education planning, growing wealth to leave a legacy or reacting to an unanticipated life changing event. After priorities are clearly defined we customize a strategy and a monitoring process specific to each client.
1. Introductory Call
We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. From this conversation we'll schedule our next meeting during which we will review important financial information
2. Get to Know You Meeting
We continue the dialogue by conducting an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you've prepared and define your priorities
3. Analysis & Plan Development
Here we utilize proprietary financial planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed plan with recommendations to help you grow, preserve and transfer your wealth.
4. Implementation
In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and initiate our investment recommendations. We'll also begin to implement other strategies we've discussed. These often encompass tax management strategies, as well as risk management and estate planning strategies.
5. Ongoing Commitment
Ongoing communication and commitment is the foundation of a successful collaboration with you. We will make every effort to keep abreast of your evolving financial needs and priorities, and provide viable strategies to help you meet them.
6. Review & Evaluation
We review your financial plan on a regular basis, making changes as necessary to help ensure you continue to make progress toward your financial goals.
Unique Careers in Sports & Entertainment
Unique Careers in Sports & Entertainment
At The Headwaters Group, we understand firsthand that careers in sports and entertainment come with unique opportunities, and unique financial complexities. Our goal is to help you navigate this lifestyle with clarity and confidence, so your future doesn't become another statistic.
Much like sports, long-term success requires the right team around you. The question is: who do you let on your bus?
During my time as a collegiate and professional athlete, I witnessed how quickly success on the field can be undermined off the field when the right support network isn't in place. Too often, financial decisions are made under pressure, in the moment, or without a plan, and the consequences can be lasting.
A widely cited statistic notes that roughly 78% of former professional athletes face bankruptcy or severe financial stress within a few years of retirement. Regardless of the exact number, the takeaway is consistent: without structure, guidance, and boundaries, income and opportunities can disappear faster than expected.
Your Superpower: Learning to Say "No"
One of the most important skills in a high-visibility, high-demand career is the ability to protect your time, your money, and your future. The work you put into your athletic or professional journey shouldn't be wasted the moment you step off the field, or transition to the next role.
And it's not just athletes. The professionals behind the scenes, coaches, trainers, operations staff, executives, and support teams, often face many of the same risks: variable income, frequent relocations, demanding schedules, and limited time to focus on long-term planning.
We make it a priority to help those in the industry simplify their financial lives, whether you're transitioning between organizations, planning your next chapter, or facing unexpected financial challenges.
Our goal is to help ensure you can focus on what you do best, supporting your team and performing at a high level, while having a plan designed for your unique career.

- Professional Guidance: Advice from a former professional athlete who is now a Financial Advisor
