Keith graduated from Trenton State College with a BS in Finance. After graduation, Keith joined American Express Financial Advisors in Voorhees, NJ. He then joined MassMutual Financial Group in Bridgewater, NJ. In the fall of 2000, Keith decided he could serve his clients in a better way and created Hawk Financial Group. As an independent financial advisor, Keith has conducted numerous complimentary no-cost informational seminars throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The seminars covered social security, medicare, and retirement income planning. As an investment adviser representative, Keith believes the financial relationship should always center around the client. That is why he adheres to the fiduciary standard of care for his clients. Keith holds a Series 65 license and keeps his clients' best interests first. He also adheres to a policy of no bias or conflict of interest.
As a local independent financial advisor in Northampton County, Easton, PA, Keith Hawk has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of his clients. He mainly works with seniors ages 55- 75 in Northampton County, Lehigh County, Bucks County, and Monroe County PA, as well as Warren County and Hunterdon County in NJ. His clients' retirement years are secured by addressing and fixing overlooked financial and non-financial "snags" before they happen. Three of these overlooked "snags" include: 1) A program to make sure a wife doesn't lose 1/2 their Social Security income when their husband passes away. 2) A program to cover two years worth of long-term care costs without paying a cent in annual premiums. 3) Making sure that your Power of Attorney document has the correct language to work with Social Security, Medicare, IRS, Veterans Administration, and your banks and brokerages. "As a fee based investment adviser, I have a fiduciary duty to put my client's best interest first. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and to show you how I do things differently."

I am a Certified Financial Planner. Our focus is to determine risk tolerance and return expectations. Our goal is to get the best return with the least amount of risk with the best cost. We use some of the best portfolio managers including the American funds, Legg Mason, West End, Blackrock and Vanguard. Our team specializes in retirement planning and professional portfolio management. Check our website at www.kingstonretirementgroup.com to get an idea of our background in greater details.
How I Work With Clients Long-term focus and discipline start with a sound investment strategy. The first meeting is a complimentary consultation. I like to get acquainted with you and your family to discuss your current financial condition and determine your invetment objectives. Once we begin a business relationship, we proceed to gather all of your financial data, which includes current investments, income, assets, insurances and any debts or loans. Upon determining your goals and objectives, we then analyze the information and agree upon a financial plan. Once an investment plan is agreed upon, our team of specialists will work with your own independent tax and legal advisors. Our goal is to add value through a comprehensive planning approach. Regular portfolio reviews will then be scheduled to monitor your investments and rebalance as necessary. We will also discuss any life changes that may have occurred and the opportunities and challenges that they may present. This is what all present and future clients can expect. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as your investment partner.
