Senior Vice President - Financial Advisor, Senior Portfolio Manager - Portfolio Focus
I offer current and prospective clients over 20 years of investment advisory experience that focuses on identifying and implementing effective solutions that enable individuals, business owners, and non-profit organizations achieve their financial objectives on a sustainable, tax-efficient basis.
As a certified financial planner (CFP®) and retirement income certified professional (RICP®), a growing part of my practice centers around developing wealth management plans with the goal of converting a client's assets to a reliable source of lifetime income. This involves the integration and timing of receiving social security, pension, annuity, and 401k/403b/457 type qualified retirement payments or distributions.
I combine this holistic, objectives based approach to wealth management with time tested investment strategies that balance both expected risk and return. Influential in this approach has been my broad educational and teaching background coupled with my world travels and on-going research.
Sharply rising interest rates in recent years have boosted bond yields, shifting the investment calculus for portfolios that combine equity and fixed income holdings. With yields approaching or exceeding the return targets in many wealth plans, we think fixed income should play a bigger role in balanced portfolios.
