Financial Services

Portfolio Management

We manage portfolios using individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Portfolio allocation is determined either by a mandate (the client wants a specific portfolio) or by determining the proper allocation/mix based on the client's risk tolerance.

Financial Planning for Individuals

We utilize financial planning software to help our clients set goals and expectations as well as make risk-based asset allocation and portfolio construction decision.

Retirement Planning

We work with both retirees and individuals planning for retirement to ensure that they are able to meet their retirement goals through understanding both risk tolerance and return requirements. We then use that information to help create risk adjusted portfolio options that will allow them to reach their goals given market expectations.

401K Rollovers

we work with both retirees and individuals looking for help in rolling over 401k balances in an efficient manner. We use goal setting and planning software to determine risk tolerance and an appropriate asset allocation to manage the rollover assets in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

FAQs

Why should I choose you as my financial advisor?

I have been in the investment and planning business for more than thirty years across all kinds of markets. I believe that each person's situation is different and deserves special attention. I understand that risk and return are linked and that we often get too focused on one or the other. My purpose is to help people understand where they are and how they can achieve their goals without over focusing either on risks or returns.

How do you charge for your services?

Fees are based as a percentage of assets under management.

What services do you provide? What are your specialties?

We provide financial planning and investment management services for individuals, families, businesses and non-profits.

What is your experience? How many clients do you currently manage?

I have been in the investment business since Black Monday 1987. I currently have less than 50 clients as Barnwood Capital is a rather new venture that I started after leaving my previous employer after 22+ years.

What financial institution(s) do you represent?

I do not sell product, so I don't specifically represent any financial institutions. Barnwood Capital is part of Stratos Wealth Advisors, LLC.
