What is your approach to financial planning?

I do not delegate to staff or outsource to other companies. In the past I have tried various schemes promoted by the financial industry― frankly they do not work. I know from experience―when I personally and the new client(s)go through the planning process together do we truly become an effective team and achieve results.

If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something?

I value and welcome clients input and suggestions. However on a day-to-day basis―it is my responsibility to manage the account. I and my firm Asset Harvest Group does not and will not have any custody of clients’ cash or securities. This truly an important peace of mind and check and balance issue for you and for us. Your peace of mind is important; I will not have it any other way.

How much risk should I be willing to take?

I undertake Prudent Risk to help our clients achieve their objective and desired results.

Do you provide a free initial consultation?

Yes

What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers?

We first do a comprehensive review of the incoming client risk and investment objective. We then implement a plan using appropriate Stocks, Preferred Stocks, Bonds, ETF, Mutual funds, commodities, and covered call options to help our client execute and achieve their objectives.
