The Investment Planning Process

The operative word in this subtitle is "PROCESS." Investment planning is not a product. It is an ongoing process to help you and your family pursue your life's goals and your financial well-being, whatever your current level of affluence. Anyone who wants to take control of their financial life, make better financial decisions or pursue financial independence may benefit from a six-step investment planning process.

  • Identification of your financial goals and objectives.
  • Identification of any financial problems or challenges you might have.
  • Collection and assessment of all relevant data pertinent to your overall financial situation.
  • Production of a written investment plan including recommendations for helping you pursue your life's goals. Each recommendation, from tax planning to investment management, is carefully thought out and integrated with all other recommendations to work to try and pursue optimum overall results. Together we then decide which recommendations are most appropriate for your family's current situation.
  • Assistance with the coordination and implementation of all planning recommendations.
  • Periodic review and update of your investment and retirement plan to ensure the planning recommendations implemented are still on track and meeting your needs. In addition, it will provide you with a clear picture of the progress you are making toward your life's goals.

Everyone -- from the self-employed business owner and career employee to a retiree -- has the same basic need for investment, retirement and estate planning. However, each person and family has their own unique circumstances which need to be taken into account in the planning process such as:

  • How much will my children's education cost? 
  • How much money will I need in retirement?
  • Will my existing assets be enough to meet my current and future income needs?
  • What about taxes, inflation and changes in the Social Security system?
  • How little or much investment risk should I take on in order to meet my future goals?
  • What types of investment vehicles should I be considering?
  • What kind of lifestyle will I be able to afford in retirement?

Using an investment planning process we can help quantify the answer to these and other questions that you may have.
