Avoid reactive investing by focusing on what you can control. Many people struggle to separate their emotions from investing. Markets go up and down, but reacting to current market conditions may lead to making poor investment decisions. We can offer expertise and guidance to help you focus on actions that add value. This can lead to a better investment experience. Daily market news and commentary can challenge your investment discipline. Some messages stir anxiety about the future while others tempt you to chase the latest investment fad. When headlines unsettle you, consider the source and maintain a long-term perspective.
Create an investment plan to fit your needs and risk tolerance.
Structure a portfolio along the dimensions of expected returns.
Diversify globally.
Manage expenses, turnover and taxes.
Stay disciplined through market dips and swings.
A certified financial planner is an advisor who has earned one of the most rigorous certifications for financial planning knowledge. A CFP must have several years of experience in financial planning and must pass the CFP exam as well as adhere to strict ethical standards set by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. CFPs are obligated to act in their client’s best interest.
The Baby Boomer generation includes some 78.2 million Americans.
According to a recent study, 45% of baby boomers have no retirement savings. For those with something saved, the median balance for those born between 1948 and 1953 was $290,000. For those born between 1954 and 1959, they had saved around $209,000.
An experienced wealth management advisor provides peace of mind when it comes to your finances. By getting to know you, we can help define your financial goals and help you make those difficult decisions. We’ll also use our expertise to create a comprehensive financial plan that encompasses your goals, with strategies that help you achieve them.
Wealth management is a broader term, which financial planning falls under. Financial planning is typically referring to guidance from a financial professional to help set goals. Wealth management includes financial planning as well as other services.
There is never a bad time to seek a wealth management advisor. Typically, people seek an advisor in the midst of a significant life change, such as retirement, receiving an inheritance or selling a business or other assets. At SSB, we work with clients throughout all stages of life.
