"Recognized for a third year in a row in Barron's List of America's Top 1000 Advisors"

I have been fortunate over the years to have the opportunity to work with many valued clients and help them grow, protect and pass on their wealth.

In a recent publication of Barron’s, I was included in the 2012 Top 1,000 Advisors in a state-by-state ranking.  This list recognizes Financial Advisors for their professionalism, skill and dedication to their clients; something I have been doing for over 27 years.

In an effort to help ensure that you are receiving the best possible service, I need to know what matters most to you.  Having wealth can create complex needs, which is why this website you are now reading may be a valuable resource to you.  This site is updated weekly to inform you about significant topics in wealth planning and today’s market, and can serve as a starting point for our discussions about what is most important to you.

I look forward to speaking with you about any questions you may have and about how I can help you with any aspirations or plans in the making.

Claudia, Chris and I appreciate your continued confidence and support and look forward to a long and successful relationship with you.

  • See Investing and Market Insights for the May On the Markets from the Global Investment Committee featuring

    • "Here We Go Again?" After strengthening earlier in the year, US economic data has begun to weaken. We saw this "growth scare" in 2010 and 2011, and in both cases, equity markets pulled back. Is this pattern going to repeat?

    • "Seek Return of Capital via Dividends and Buybacks" In our view, return of capital remains an important theme in the US equity market. That means investors should seek companies that return capital to shareholders by raising dividends and/or buying their shares.

    • "Q&A: Running With the Recession Forecast" Lakshman Achuthan, chief operations officer of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, speaks with Charles Reinhard, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney's deputy chief investment officer, about the economic indicators behind the forecast.

    Plus, look for more on European equities, Treasury bonds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds.
