Financial Advice & Consulting
Armand takes time to get to know each and every client and their unique financial planning & investments needs. Only after he has a clear understand of what each client is trying to accomplish does he begin the process of financial planning.
Financial Planning for Individuals
Armand truly enjoys working with individuals and couples and helping them develop a road map for their financial lives that addresses both their current & future needs. Armand's comprehensive financial plans cover the following areas: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, College Planning, Tax Planning & Estate Planning.
Financial Planning for Businesses
Armand will work with small business owners to ensure that they are utilizing an appropriate and cost effective retirement savings plan for their company and employees. He will also review ancillary benefits such as life and disability insurance.
Insurance Planning
Armand believes that insurance planning is an integral part of a comprehensive financial plan. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, a thorough insurance review is carried out for all clients as part of the financial planning process to ensure that the right coverages are in place. He will focus on Life, Disability (income protection), Long-Term Care and Health Insurance. Armand currently holds his 2-15 license, and is a licensed insurance agent in the State of Florida.
Annuities
Annuities can be an integral part of a comprehensive plan. Armand will utilize due care in reviewing current annuities that clients may own and is extremely careful when researching and selecting potential annuity solutions for his clients. Armand currently holds his 2-15 license, and is a licensed insurance agent in the State of Florida and may recommend annuities as part of a broad list of solutions for his clients.
Investment Advice & Management
As a Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) professional, Armand takes time to review each client's specific risk tolerance and takes great care in selecting suitable portfolios and third party money managers for client accounts. He believes in a systematic approach to money management and having a detailed process that is based on the foundation of intellectual rigor and discipline.

Armand's basic investment philosophy is built upon risk management using a disciplined process of investment consulting. Every investment contains some degree of risk. Even those investments with lower returns and perceived risk carry inflation and purchasing power risk.

The major ingredient in risk management is diversification through an appropriate asset allocation. Many people diversify by owning several different mutual funds. The challenge often is that they may own some of the same underlying stocks. Having multiple funds which own the same stocks is not diversification.
Retirement Planning
Retirement can be a period of 20, 30 or more years of unemployment'. Armand takes retirement planning very seriously. Before recommending that a client retires, he will complete a comprehensive financial plan that addresses all aspects of retirement planning including retirement income distribution planning and evaluating the most tax efficient way on how to spend & invest assets over your retirement years.
