Avoiding Dangers
Throughout our lives we are subjected to critical financial events. It could be anything from changing a job, retiring, receiving an inheritance to unfair lawsuits. Further, wealthy people can be targets.
"I have spent my entire career avoiding minefields instead of going through them."
General David H. Petraeus
Financial success is usually more about avoiding mistakes than hitting a home run. Our planning process is focused on avoiding those mistakes and reaching your goals with the lowest possible risk.
- With investments, we believe it is prudent to be broadly diversified keeping portfolio expenses low–investing in asset class funds and exchange traded funds, thus minimizing the risk of missing market return.
- With respect to creditor protection, we believe it is prudent to take advantage of everything the law allows. We live in a litigious society.
- With respect to planning, we believe it is important to seek as much clarity about the future as possible. Constant vigilance is the key.
