Assurance Plan Management focuses on helping people manage large cash windfalls. Specifically, we work with individuals who are making decisions for assets they are not use to managing.

Common Scenarios Include:

• Individuals receiving an inheritance from their parent or grandparents
• Divorcees receiving a cash settlement from equitable distribution of marital assets
• Employees receiving a large end of year performance bonus
• Employees vesting into RSUs or ESOPs
• Business owners receiving a cash proceed from the sale of their business

The firm prioritizes time-tested strategies over short-term market trends and focuses on building portfolios clients can clearly understand. By avoiding unnecessary complexity, clients are better positioned to remain disciplined and confident through changing market conditions.

Compensation can vary depending on the situation. Some of the ways we can get paid include:

• Percentage of Assets Under Management (AUM)
• Planning fees for services performed
• Commission from the sale of insurance and annuities
• Commissions from the sale of individual stocks, bonds and mutual funds.

Usually costs will be discussed in the follow up meeting after I have analyzed your situation and determined options to work together.
