Reviewing your finances regularly helps to ensure that all your money decisions remain aligned, both with each other and with your broader life and wealth goals. If you have finance-related questions, SageVest Wealth Management is a valuable resource. Our menu of services is extensive and we can help with a wide range of wealth considerations for you and your loved ones.

Retirement Planning

Planning for retirement is the most important financial objective for most individuals. It doesn’t happen overnight, nor by means of back-of-the-napkin planning. SageVest can help you to plan for and secure your future retirement objectives. We include the following and much more in our retirement services:

Investment Management

Successful long-term financial strategies require diligent investment supervision. If you can’t quickly answer how your investments are positioned, or if your investment positioning is appropriate, it might be time to hire an investment advisor. The SageVest investment team will:

  • Discuss your investment goals, experience, timeline, risk tolerance, and more.
  • Develop an investment policy tailored to your unique needs.
  • Consolidate investments to streamline finances and minimize fees.
  • Monitor accounts and investments under management on a daily basis.
  • Advise on 401(k) plan investment elections.
  • Explain investment principles in easy-to-understand terms.
  • Offer counsel to avoid emotive decisions that could negatively impact investments.
  • Offer a fee-only structure, and serve as your fiduciary advisor.

Saving Strategies

For most of us, capturing meaningful savings is crucial to securing our future. If you’re not confident your savings are adequate, our advisors will respectfully help you to structure a savings plan that is cognizant of both your current needs and your future goals. We will:

  • Evaluate your emergency reserves.
  • Identify goals e.g., saving for retirement, college savings, etc.
  • Help you track cash flow and achieve goal-based savings on an annual basis.
  • Encourage saving by identifying opportunities to save, automating savings, offering resources to teach kids to save, and more.
  • Maximize retirement savings to benefit from Federal limits and employer matching programs.

Educational Funding

College funding is a high priority for many families. It’s also a tough financial objective to achieve, given soaring educational costs [1]. SageVest advisors will guide you and your family to:

Home Mortgage Loans And Debt
