Seminars

Seminars are scheduled on various topics to both provide educational opportunities for clients and to explain new investment opportunities to potential clients. Generally they last about 1 1/2 hours and offer an opportunity to answer all of your questions. Topics regularly include:

  • Financial Planning:
    Developing a plan gives you peace of mind about appropriate preparations for retirement, children's education, vacations, leaving a legacy and other major life events. Setting up your investments to help you attain those goals with some degree of comfort with appropriate risk helps you understand how and why to invest advantageously for you. Every plan differs and needs tailoring to your needs.
     
  • Investment Basics:
    Covering measures you can take to protect yourself from financial market losses. The older we get the less time we have to ride out dips in the market before we may need our savings for retirement, health care, contributions and other needs. What investments have guarantees? How to correctly diversify to reduce risk and how to choose less risky investments.
     
  • Social Security Planning & Decisions:
    Deciding on the best time to start Social Security benefits can be a daunting task. By starting too early you give up significantly reduced payments but current cash flow needs may be essential to survive. The best married couple strategies can depend upon several factors and may mean the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Divorced couples have other options to maximize their benefits. Learn how to maximize your strategy with answers the Social Security Administration can't give you.
     
  • Retirement Planning:
    Covering most qualified and non-qualified retirement savings plans including annuities, mutual funds, 401(k) programs, 403(b), SIMPLE plans, SEP IRA’s, and alternative features of IRAs. Learn how to determine what is best for you while our tax laws are changing.
