Stress testing your financial plan enables you to assess what risk you are willing and able to accept, reduce, transfer, or avoid. Adjustments to your savings and investment strategy are the first steps to make you financially self-sufficient. But when savings are unable to absorb sudden financial shocks, third-party insurance can be a cost-effective tool. Insurance products come in many shapes and sizes and can be complicated, but, if used properly, insurance can provide a financial safety net to give you peace-of-mind. We understand when and how to integrate insurance into a plan to cost-effectively mitigate risk for you and your family. We work with you to design, select, procure, monitor, and manage these products. We can access a full array of non-proprietary insurance products on your behalf. We also help evaluate financial products you already have and, when needed, help you restructure and manage existing products to better serve your needs.
