Start laying the foundations to secure your financial future.
Your short-term reserves are essential. I advise clients to have three to six months of income saved as back-up for the unexpected. Together we’ll assess your current situation along with future purchases.
Mid-term goals represent an important phase in your financial life. Whether it’s buying a home, saving for education or leisure activities, these are the milestones in your life and they won’t happen without planning.
Your long-term goals are the final phase. The time when you can relax and enjoy the efforts of your working life. Using my value of knowledge strategy, I’ll walk you through cash management, tax planning, investment planning, retirement planning and estate planning, to ensure that your investment strategy maximizes the plan we’ve created together. With your financial plan in place, we include the pre-retirement, in-retirement, & post-retirement phases. I then measure your investment comfort level to build a diversified portfolio that meets your goals. I also assess and review your insurance needs to help you preserve your investments.
I offer a free, no obligation, financial review.
