Asset allocation is a long-term strategy designed to help investors achieve their financial goals without assuming undue risk. By allocating your assets to a diverse variety of sectors and investments, we attempt to increase the likelihood of generating a more consistent, positive return over the long term. Depending on your risk tolerance, the economic environment, your specific objectives and other factors, your portfolio may include domestic and global stocks, fixed income, real estate and alternative investments.
Asset allocation does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss. Alternative investment strategies involve greater risks and are not appropriate for all investors.
In today’s complex marketplace, even sophisticated investors are challenged to stay current, to review their investments, and to respond to rapidly changing conditions.
For investors who’d like to free themselves from the need to review asset allocation and portfolios, Raymond James provides access through investment advisory accounts to professionals whose skills at risk profiling, institutional asset allocation, money management selection and investment policy development can help you navigate in a constantly changing environment.
Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit nor protect against loss.

You can’t know for sure if you’ll need long-term care or for how long, but you can plan for the possibility that you’ll one day need expensive long-term assistance if health problems result in a loss of independence. The chances of needing that level of care increase as we age. Having a plan in place may help you feel more secure in retirement, offering peace of mind knowing you’re better able to manage your financial situation and access quality care, if and when you need it. It makes sense to work with your financial advisor to mitigate some of the financial risks through adequate long-term care insurance to avoid this potentially financially – and emotionally – devastating scenario.
These policies have exclusions and/or limitations. The cost and availability of Long Term Care insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of Long Term Care insurance. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the insurance company.
If your goals include providing for the future of a child or grandchild, we can help you investigate your many options and develop an education funding strategy. We can help you provide for this opportunity with investment vehicles and specialized trust vehicles.
If you’ve changed jobs or are retiring, rolling over your retirement assets to an IRA can be an excellent solution. It is a non-taxable event when done properly – and gives you access to a wide range of investments and the convenience of having consolidated your savings in a single location.
In addition, flexible beneficiary designations may allow for the continued tax-deferred investing of inherited IRA assets. We can handle all details for you, including contacting your former plan administrator, opening your new rollover IRA and completing the paperwork.
In addition to rolling over your 401(k) to an IRA, there are other options. Here is a brief look at all your options. For additional information and what is suitable for your particular situation, please consult us.
Since insurance helps protect you in case of accident, illness, disability or death, it plays a crucial role in your comprehensive financial plan. Through Raymond James, we can provide a wide array of quality insurance alternatives that can offer an important layer of safety for you, your family, your business or your organization. For example, we can help you build a protective cushion with life insurance, preserve your estate with long-term care insurance and combine protection and tax-advantaged growth opportunities with annuities.
