Success Story
We'll Create a Plan to Help Fund It
​Financial Services we Offer
"To You"
Your Success Story begins with YOU. Of course, investment returns are a major focus of our strategy planning. But
beyond the numbers, we can help you to formulate a specific, understandable and truly personalized strategy
encompassing the different phases of your life; from now, through retirement and into your legacy. So…
Who are the people and what are the elements and organizations that are important to you?
What will make you happy in the next few years?
Over the coming decade? Throughout retirement?
What will you be doing?
With whom?
​
Around who?
Where will you be located?
Where will you be living?
What are your vices?
In our hands, these are the building blocks for your Success Story.
“ To Your Loved Ones”
Think of your loved ones. Family, friends, neighbors, your dog…Who are the people who matter most?
What do you want their stories to be…
…over the next decade…
…20 years beyond…
…into and throughout retirement…
…when you’re gone.
We don’t believe in leaving such things to chance.
“For Your Important Institutions”
Think of the organizations that have been important at different points because they supported you or were an integral
part of your journey. If providing these institutions with support is important to you, then it can become part of your
ongoing and legacy strategies. How do you envision expressing this support? What type of outcome do you want to
see? If it’s important to you, write it into your Success Story.

Guidance Focused on You™
When it comes to your finances, you need a strong team to assist you with important information and decisions. A key player on this team is the person who helps you choose and manage your investments. That person can have a major impact on your long-term financial health, so it’s important to understand how to select the appropriate financial professional.
Investment adviser representatives (IA-Reps) must adhere to a “fiduciary standard of care,”meaning they have a legal duty to provide investment advice that is in the “best interests” of their clients. It’s a higher standard of professional diligence than recommending “suitable”investments.
When you work with an IA-Rep, you’re still ultimately in charge of how your investments are allocated and managed, but typically the day-to-day management of your assets is handled by the IA-Rep, the IA-Rep’s firm, or third-party investment firms with whom the IA-Rep’s firm has agreements, depending on the terms of your advisory program. Your IA-Rep will communicate with you on an ongoing basis because the management of the assets in an advisory relationship
is a continuous process.
If you’re ready to start working with an investment professional, it’s important to understand the products and services that are being offered and the different obligations of registered representatives and investment adviser representatives.
No matter which type of investment professional you choose, it’s essential to find someone you feel comfortable with — who takes the time to understand your needs, preferences and goals when it comes to managing your finances.
​
Building your Success Story involves guidance that’s focused on you. The difference will become clear, starting with first conversation.
