Several examples of issues facing our clients and the advice we provided follow:
• Dave and Betty had a sizeable investment portfolio, but too many accounts and holdings (current and former employer
401(k)s and brokerage accounts). We consolidated accounts/holdings, eliminated inappropriate holdings, transitioned to a risk-
based investment mix, and substantially lowered the cost for both the investments and the advisory fees.
• Bob, in his late 50s, was given an early retirement package by his employer. He was not sure whether to take the annuity or
the lump sum option. After reviewing his options in the context of his other investments, we helped him select an appropriate
combination of annuity income and lump sum to invest for growth.
• Susan was recently divorced and her husband had handled the financial issues for their family. She was very worried about
her finances and concerned that she might need to sell her home. We were able to consolidate her accounts, develop a
budget for income and expenses, transition her investments to meet her income needs while managing risk, and create a long
term plan allowing her to remain in her home and maintain her lifestyle.
