Your Investments

Do you ever feel like life is too automated? Maybe you’re suspicious of the cruise control feature on your car. You’re not a fan of auto-pilot on commercial flights.

You prefer to know that an experienced individual has their hands on the wheel and is ready to respond to new conditions.

Some clients think their Certified Financial Planner is running on auto-pilot. They feel like they are just another step in the financial assembly line. They fill out a questionnaire, hand over their money, and then hope that they hear from someone again at some time in the future.

Automation can be a great thing, but sometimes, you need a human being to oversee critical parts of the process. It takes someone with insight and experience to say, “Does this plan make sense for my client? Is there too much risk in this asset allocation strategy?”

Your Certified Financial Planner will work with you to understand your unique goals and your risk tolerance. You can rest assured; a true professional is at the helm.
