Let us help you with:
Investment Management
Having a well-defined investment strategy is important now and into the future. It serves as a road map to temper decisions that might otherwise be based on intuition or emotion. Investment planning is a process that includes:
- Establishing Your Goals
- Developing Defined Strategies to Achieve Those Goals
- Implementing These Strategies
- Monitoring Your Progress in Attaining Those Goals
Income Tax Planning
Income tax planning is an integral part of an investment strategy. Income tax planning allows you to maximize your legitimate deductions and reduce or eliminate federal, state and local taxes. The experts at our affiliate company, Lucas Group CPAs, can assist you in structuring an investment strategy that may reduce the impact of taxes on your return.
Retirement Planning
When considering retirement, you must ask yourself some important questions:
- What were the things I did not have time for when I was working?
- What activities do I enjoy participating in the most?
Retirement planning encompasses analyzing current retirement assets, estimating anticipated contributions and earnings, and projecting future anticipated living needs. Planning for inflation and incorporating a probability analysis are key components in developing a prudent retirement plan. Our goal is to help you develop a long-range retirement plan that will allow you to obtain financial independence and maintain your standard of living.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of developing a strategy to facilitate the transfer of your personal assets to your beneficiaries. At Lucas Group Advisors, we understand the importance of properly structuring and regularly reviewing your estate plan to ensure that it is addressing your family’s needs. While we are not attorneys and do not prepare any legal documents, we do work closely with our clients and their attorneys in developing a prudent estate plan.
Risk Management
Risk management and asset protection strategies are designed to help insulate your family, your assets and your income from potential loss. It’s a structured approach to managing uncertainties that could affect your financial well-being. Using a consultative approach, we can assist you in assessing the risks and developing strategies to manage them through our strategic alliances.
Cash Flow Management
Meeting your cash flow needs from your portfolio is important. When we construct your portfolio, we take into account any known or anticipated cash flow needs you may have. We structure your portfolio according to your goals and by focusing on tax consequences, selecting the appropriate financial instruments and minimizing trading costs to accommodate your cash needs.
