Who we are

Shulman DeMeo Asset Management is a planning and money management practice with over 25 years of
experience. As a fee-based advisor, our success is directly tied to the financial well being of our clients and our
sincere commitment to servicing their needs and concerns.

We are a “boutique” firm specializing in giving a personal detailed approach to each and every one of our clients.

What we offer

Shulman DeMeo Asset Management provides integrated fee-based advisor and asset management services to
address the broad financial needs of individual client households. Fee-Based Independence means that we remain
unbiased in our advisor-client relationship. Fee-Based is more than a description of compensation; it dictates that
our interests are naturally aligned with yours, as our primary intent is to professionally serve you and retain you as
a life-long client.

Designed for the client who needs ongoing advice, we will coordinate your entire financial plan. Services under
our wealth management program include the services necessary to review, design and implement your
investment plan in conjunction with your financial plan.

We can also evaluate, recommend, monitor and report on other assets that you would like to remain invested
where they. Some examples include a company 401(k), 403(b) or other retirement plan and variable annuities.

Services include: financial planning, discretionary investment management, tax strategies, estate planning, & risk
management. In addition, we will interact with your other advisors—such as your attorney, accountant, and
mortgage broker—to make sure that proper planning is done and effective implementation takes place. We can
either work with your existing advisors or provide referrals to those we work with regularly.

Our commitment to service

Whenever you have questions or concerns, you can be confident that we are available to discuss any issues that
may arise. We choose to maintain a limited number of clients so that we are always able to provide outstanding
customer service.

ESTATE PLANNING


You have worked hard to create the wealth you have attained. It is now time to make sure your
estate plan can protect it, not simply for you and your spouse, but for generations to come.

We will guide you through an independent review of your current estate plan. The
comprehensive review includes, but is not limited to:


   •   Wills

   •   Insurance Trusts

   •   Gifting Strategies



After reviewing your current estate plan, we will present recommendations on how you can
best protect your wealth as you transfer it to following generations. The findings will not only
deal with protecting your estate by minimizing taxes, but also forming the appropriate
structures to protect it from potential future creditors.




                            Shulman DeMeo Asset Management LLC
RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES


Managing the risks that can threaten your financial well-being is every bit as important as
saving and investing toward your goals. That is the role of insurance in a financial plan.

Insurance is a provision for the unexpected events that, if not prepared for, could hinder the
pursuit of your goals. Being insured is not only a wise financial decision, but a responsible
personal act that provides you and those who depend on you’re a genuine sense of security.

The type and amount of insurance you need, is best determined by an analysis of your personal
and financial situation, as well as your financial goals and objectives. Don't buy more insurance
than you need, but have enough insurance to protect your income, your dependents and your
assets.

Shulman DeMeo offers the following insurance products to meet a wide array of needs,
including:


   •   Life Insurance (Personal) – to support your survivors financial needs in the event of your
       death

   •   Life Insurance (Business) – to protect a business from the loss of a key executive

   •   Disability Insurance – to help replace income, should you be unable to work

   •   Long Term Care Insurance – to help pay for assistance of daily living



In addition, if you have any existing personal or business insurance policies, we will gladly
review them to make sure that the coverage you have is appropriate for your needs.
