Creating Your Plan
To be truly effective, your plan must reflect the totality of your personal and financial life. Our role is to help ensure that your investment objectives are consistent with your financial concerns and your long-term goals.
Our four step process was developed to help you achieve that goal:
Our four step process was developed to help you achieve that goal:
1. Setting your financial objectives
Through a process of discovery and discussion, we will work with you to articulate your wealth goals. Together, we will examine your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash flow needs, and then consider factors that might influence your overall strategy, including tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon. Through careful analysis, the team will look for potential gaps that may exist between your goals, and develop sound strategies to help clear the path.
2. Creating your strategy
Working from our understanding of you and your objectives, we will propose a financial plan that contains specific strategies designed to help meet those goals. Our advice may encompass issues such as retirement planning, business continuation, tax minimization potential and wealth transfer. You will also receive an asset allocation strategy designed to provide diversification for your portfolio.
Asset allocation, diversification and rebalancing do not assure a profit or protect against loss. There may be a potential tax implication with a rebalancing strategy. Please consult your tax advisor before implementing such a strategy.

3. Implementing your strategy
After discussing and refining your strategy, we will work closely with you to bring the elements to life. Planning is a vital part of our process. Using tools to actively monitor your plans progress, making sure you are on track to meet your financial goals and objectives. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, we can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio. Whatever the approach may be, the team will help you keep your strategy on track.
4. Reviewing objectives & performance
We view ongoing communications as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. We will make every effort to stay aware of your changing financial needs and provide viable strategies to help you meet them. This means reviewing your portfolio together at your request when circumstances change, we will work with you to revise your strategy and reposition your assets to reflect your new needs and goals.

About Matthew Kluetz
Matt has been working with clients to help formulate and implement comprehensive financial plans since 2004. Before joining the Lakeland Group at Morgan Stanley, he spent 10 years as an Aerospace Engineer test flying business jets. Matt earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Wichita State University. He is a problem solver with a highly analytical background who understands that wealth planning is as much an art as it is a science.
Matt is dedicated to serving families and business owners with complex financial needs and devising a clear plan and systematic way of measuring the progress each year. Matt believes this approach keeps clients focused on reaching their goals and helps them avoid emotional pitfalls, as opposed to an index based approach which often results in investors becoming distracted by market noise and letting their emotions dictate their actions. Matt believes "it's not what you gain in the up years, but what you retain in the down years" that allow clients to be successful.
Striving to be more than a trusted advisor to their clients, Matt and the team at the Lakeland Group invest the time to truly understand their clients, listening to what matters most to them and what they want to accomplish during their lifetime. His analytical experience enables him to convey complex ideas to clients in a manner they can easily understand.
Matt is actively involved in the Eagle River Lions Club and the Eagle River Lions Club Foundation where he has served as a Board Member and Secretary of the Club. He was awarded a Melvin Jones Fellowship for his dedication and exemplary service to his Club. He is proud of his past involvement in the YMCA of the Northwoods, having served as a Board Member and President of the Eagle River Branch. Matt also serves as a board member of the Northwoods Children's Museum in Eagle River.
An engaging person with a great sense of humor, Matt enjoys meeting new people and finding common interests. He has a variety of hobbies, including traveling the world with his wife Laura for exploration and relaxation and cooking a range of ethnic foods to experiment with tastes and methods of preparation. Matt's family has a lake house, which has been in his family for over 100 years, that fills much of their summertime with boat rides and quality time with family and friends.

About Andy Roe
Andy Roe creates strategies that can help clients develop, understand, and achieve their financial goals.
Andy has been working with Morgan Stanley for seven years. Prior to this, Andy led progressive wilderness expeditions for teenagers that focused on building character and leadership qualities by tackling outdoor challenges. Through this experience, he has gained a great appreciation for the complete planning process: developing, executing, and reviewing. Andy earned his B.A. in economics from Colorado College, and in June 2025, earned his CIMA® (Certified Investment Management Analyst) designation.
Working with a diverse client base, Andy helps complex families organize their affairs, document their goals, and implement strategies that can help them reach those goals more effectively. The planning process begins by listening to the client's most pressing financial concerns and prioritizing their goals. Andy believes in working collaboratively with his clients and their other professional advisors to bring clarity to their financial picture. Whether the goals are estate and tax planning strategies, retirement planning, risk management, charitable giving, business succession planning, or liability management, he strives to achieve the right balance of risk and return.
Wealth planning means more than providing clients with investment advice. It means helping them maintain the financial independence they've worked their whole lives to achieve. It means striving to ensure they have the means to pursue what's most important to them. And it means understanding them as people with unique goals, values, and circumstances that determine the strategies developed on their behalf.
Andy, his wife, Mary, and their kids, Mackenzie and Ryan, love spending time outside and can often be found canoeing, hiking, biking, camping, golfing, and boating. Andy is particularly proud of his involvement in Camp Manito-wish YMCA and believes his experiences there have shaped nearly every aspect of his life.
