Q2

Risk Assessment

After the fastest crash and recovery in history, it is a good time to make sure you understand how much risk you carry in your accounts.  It is also a great opportunity to make adjustments if you felt over or under exposed as the markets went down and up.

Q3

Beneficiary Review

It is important to know that your beneficiary information is current.  We provide you with a comprehensive list of your account beneficiaries and help you to make adjustments if needed for any reason.  

Q4

Tax Loss Harvesting and Rebalancing

As we begin to close on another calendar (tax) year it is important to make sure we are harvesting losses where possible to provide tax efficient returns while maintaining liquidity and flexibility.

Q1

Financial Plan Update

New year means a refreshed look at what your goals are.  It is an optimal time to reflect on how your financial plan is going and to continue to strive for new goals and practices.
