LAUNCH YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

PROGRAM INFORMATION

 

1-ON-1 GUIDANCE

You are assigned your own financial planner who gets to know you and your goals. Not a call center with a different person each time.

NO HIDDEN SELLING

We don’t sell insurance nor financial products, get commissions, or accept kickbacks from third parties; you can trust the advice isn’t biased by commissioned sales.

A FIDUCIARY EXPERT

Coaches are CFP-trained registered investment advisors. Coaches are required by law to place your interests above their own. This is more than a ‘promise’, it’s a legal obligation.

SAVE FOR YOUR FUTURE

DONE-FOR-YOU SAVINGS

 

Saving for your goals couldn’t be easier. Once you agree upon your budget, your coach will handle saving into accounts you own at our firm. We’ll advise you on the right accounts and contributions for each of your goals, set them up for you, and ensure the transfers to your savings happen. Save for an emergency fund, retirement, a down payment on a home, sending a child to college, a major vacation, or anything else that is important to you.  

HIGH-YIELD FDIC-INSURED SAVINGS

Your emergency fund and any goals you want to achieve within 3 years are saved into a high-yield FDIC-insured savings account. You earn ~ 10x the national average in interest** and up to $2,000,000 of your cash is insured by the FDIC. No fees are charged on your savings account.

For long-term goals, save with professional portfolio management based on academically proven strategies, including:

  • Goal-specific asset allocation 

  • Tax-efficient asset location 

  • Annual and threshold-based rebalancing 

  • Ultra-low-cost fund selection
