A depth and breadth of services to help meet all your financial needs

We can help you enjoy the comfortable retirement you envision and deserve. Accumulation and income-projection modeling can help you understand what you need to retire comfortably and whether your current savings rate will be adequate. Once you are in retirement, careful planning – and timing – of your withdrawals is key to making your assets last as long as possible.

Together, we can take financial planning to new levels, with tools to help you plan and pursue your short- and long-term goals.

Our holistic approach to your financial independence means we go beyond just financial planning to managing all aspects of your financial life, including protecting you from risk through the use of life insurance, disability insurance and long-term care.

Lack of a well-designed estate plan can needlessly affect your family wealth due to excessive taxes. We are well versed in creating and implementing financial strategies to help maximize your wealth transfer and minimize the tax burden from one generation to the next.

We can customize an appropriate mix of mutual funds, stocks, bonds and other investments based on your needs, goals, timeline and risk tolerance. Whether you’re accumulating wealth or looking for income in retirement, we can help design an investment portfolio aligned with your objectives.

Insurance can help protect you from the unexpected and plays a vital role in your comprehensive financial plan. We can provide a wide range of quality insurance alternatives, including life insurance and long-term care, that can offer security for you, your family and your business.

Tax planning throughout the year can assist you in reducing the taxes you pay – as well as help you achieve your financial goals. It should not be done in isolation, but instead should be driven by your overall financial goals and integrated with your total financial plan.

By developing and implementing appropriate strategies to lessen or shift current and future tax liabilities, you can improve your prospects of meeting long- and short-term objectives. For example, accurately projecting your income taxes can help you determine the cash flow available to you in the coming year.

Keep in mind that tax laws are often complex and frequently change. We can work in conjunction with your tax advisor.

We can help you develop, implement and monitor a retirement or benefit plan that suits the needs of your business, as well as those of your employees. In addition, we can help you find appropriate insurance coverage for your company. For business owners seeking the most appropriate exit strategies, we can help you value your business, assess the tax implications and position your company for sale.

Philanthropy can bring personal satisfaction, enabling you to support the causes and organizations that matter most to you. It can result in significant tax advantages, as well – including income tax deductions, reduction of capital gains taxes and lower estate taxes.

We can help tailor a charitable giving plan for you that can include outright gifts, trust bequests, charitable trusts, private family foundations, community foundations and donor-advised funds.

Protecting your hard-earned wealth is a top priority. Being a part of Raymond James puts the financial strength and integrity of a respected global company behind your investments.

Raymond James & Associates is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). An explanatory brochure is available upon request, at sipc.org or by calling 202.371.8300.

Raymond James has purchased excess-SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s, a London-based firm. Excess SIPC is fully protected by the Lloyd’s trust funds and Lloyd’s Central Fund. The additional protection currently provided has an aggregate firm limit of $750 million, including a sub-limit of $1.9 million per customer for cash above basic SIPC limits for the wrongful abstraction of customer funds. Account protection applies when a SIPC-member firm fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against market fluctuations.

Funding the higher education of your child or grandchild helps give them a strong foundation for a fulfilling future. We can help with investment options such as Coverdell education savings accounts, 529 college savings accounts and specialized trust vehicles.
