We believe the way to help grow and preserve your wealth is active investment management. This is particularly important given the current investment environment and the prospect of rising interest rates in the years to come. We expect that investors utilizing a buy and hold strategy will have returns that they will likely find unacceptable over the next five to ten years.We are a fee-based advisory firm where our interests are in line with your interests. We are viewed as trusted advisors who want to help quarterback your family's financial affairs, if that is what you wish. We provide advice primarily on investments, but also advice in estate planning, long-term care insurance, life insurance, taxes, mortgage refinancing, and college funding. Our firm, Retirement Income Solutions, Inc. (RIS), is an independent registered investment advisor. Our independence from being owned by a bank, insurance company, mutual fund company or Wall Street brokerage firm enables us to make unbiased recommendations rather than ones that might favor the advisor's employer.There are few firms in the Ann Arbor and southeastern Michigan area that can provide advice on individual, joint and trust accounts in conjunction with 401ks, 403bs, TIAA-CREF, IRAs and other retirement accounts. RIS can advise on all these areas and provide an integrated strategy for all the accounts that maybe appropriate for your family. A key part of that advice is setting appropriate goals and that means helping clients focus on the important financial issues, not just those issues on the minds of clients. Our educational backgrounds and investment experience cover many years and many investment environments, and we consider education of our clients a key aspect of the services we provide.
