Retirement is one of life’s major changes. Most likely, you will do it only once. Our primary objective is to be sure you have enough income to retire comfortably and understand the changes you may need to make in other aspects of your financial life. So, while we focus on your retirement income distribution, we’ll also work with you through meetings and education to build your confidence in your decision-making.

We help with:

• Your transition away from the security of a career
• Understanding your income stream through portfolios, pensions, real estate and social security
• Building your confidence in decision-making by knowing your financial profile and life are well positioned
• Understanding the potential and risks of what your portfolios can generate and distribute to ensure a happy and comfortable retirement.

We leverage LPL’s large compliance department to review all transactions and recommendations we make. As such, we are bound by certain principles:
Duty of care: We must always act in your best interests when making a recommendation in your brokerage account. We will never place our financial or other interests ahead of yours.

• Disclosure:
  • As LPL Financial Advisors, before we begin working with you, we are required to disclose to you (in writing) our services, fees, compensation and conflicts. We refer to it as the Brokerage Compensation and Conflicts Disclosure (BCCD).
  • Only investment adviser representatives (IARs) can refer to themselves as “advisors” or “advisers” in their titles or DBA names. Brokerage-only representatives will no longer be able to use the title financial “advisor” or a Doing Business As (DBA) containing the words “advisor” or “adviser.”
• Relationship Summary:
  • Broker-dealers and registered investment advisors (RIAs) are required to deliver a two-page Relationship Summary (Form CRS) to new and existing advisory and brokerage customers.
  • Conflict of Interest: We are required to identify, mitigate and eliminate conflicts of interest where reasonably possible and fully disclose them to you where they cannot be either mitigated or eliminated.
  • Compliance: To achieve compliance with the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI), we are required to establish, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures that regulate our standard of conduct. Specifically, we must comply with four component obligations: care, disclosure, conflict of interest and compliance.

Your financial plan is essentially a roadmap for creating the life you want to live. When you decide to work with us, we’ll start by looking at your entire financial picture and create a plan for pursuing both your short-term and your long-term financial goals. Nothing is off the table – from your current financial situation to your long-range goals.

Quite simply, the goal of a financial plan is to be sure you have enough money to cover your current and future life – from the mundane to the fabulous trips you want to take in your retirement. Your comprehensive financial plan will include strategies and tactics for the following:

• Taxes
• Risk management
• Insurance from life and healthcare to property, business and disability
• Cash flow
• Debt management
• Retirement needs, savings and income, including social security and Medicare
• Estate planning, including property transfer
• Education – yours, your children’s and your grandchildren’s
• Building a diverse investment portfolio

We will measure everything we do for you against your financial plan. Periodically, we’ll meet with you to learn what has changed that will affect your plan and revise accordingly. Ultimately, your financial plan gives you the confidence of knowing where you’re going and how you will get there.
