Making Connections that Matter
We believe that professionals who interact with and know each other will do a more comprehensive and thus better job. That’s why we have lunch meetings at our offices several times a year and invite all of the professionals our clients are currently working with including CPAs, accountants, estate attorneys, mortgage brokers and others.
Please, reach out to the other professionals with whom you work and recommend that they meet us.
Our goal is to do a better job for you.
Riskalyze - Do you know your risk number?
What is Riskalyze?
Riskalyze is a tool that helps us as advisors identify the risks our clients are exposed to within their portfolios. They use risk numbers to gauge the amount of risk a fund is taking.
The risk number is scaled from 1-99 and is a measurement of potential loss. The higher the number the higher the chance for loss. The Riskalyze team created an algorithm to better understand the scale of risk between funds, one of the variables is Standard Deviation. Standard Deviation is a measurement of volatility in a fund, the higher the standard deviation the more volatile and higher potential of loss. To better understand the importance of volatility, it is vital for a client to identify their risk profile. A conservative investor will have lower volatility in their portfolio compared to an aggressive investor.

Long Term Care (LTC policies)
What is Long Term Care?
Long Term Care (LTC) goes beyond medical care to include all the assistance you could need if you ever have a chronic illness or disability that leaves you unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time (longer than 90 days). While older people generally require the most long-term care services, 40% of long-term care claims are paid to someone under the age of 64. A young or middle-aged person who has a debilitating illness or accident may also require care.
