Financial Services |
| Financial Advice & Consulting
Our financial advisory services are customized to meet each clients individual needs. ACM Wealth Management has a common goal to completely understand your financial situation so that we can create a strategy and plan to get you on track and more importantly, to keep you on track. We believe that a thorough financial evaluation and a solid financial plan are essential for investment success. While no methodology can guarantee success, having a financial plan is the most assured way of working toward financial goals. We avoid strategies for investing that include market timing, industry sector concentration and concentrated stock positions. |
| Retirement Planning
We all wonder if we will have a sufficient amount of assets to fund our retirement. And a successful strategy requires planning and constant attention. It may seem burdensome, but proper preparation is the key to success and financial independence in retirement. |
| Insurance Planning
Life doesnt always go the way we want it to go. Despite our best efforts, accidents happen and theres nothing anyone can do about them except insure against them. And, though we cant predict or protect from everything, we can help you come close. We offer a wide range of insurance options and can walk you through the different types to help you choose the one that best fits your needs. |
| Education Funding and Planning
College is expensive, and the cost will only continue to rise. With an average annual increase of 5-9% each year, it will take a small fortune to put your child through college. We can help. The basics of financial planning used in conjunction with the proper tax-saving vehicle can allow families to pre- fund college expenses. In addition, some of these vehicles can be great tools for parents and grandparents to use for trusts and estate planning. |
