Investment Strategy
Financial Life Planners LLC provides personalized, discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management tailored to each client’s objectives and restrictions—including considerations like aversion to specific industries. The firm constructs diversified portfolios using equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and when appropriate, annuities and stock options for hedging and conservative strategies. Their methodology emphasizes broad asset-class diversification and risk mitigation, holistically optimizing investments around individual financial goals. Strategies are periodically rebalanced according to market movements and changes in client circumstances. Tax implications and customized restrictions (such as excluding tobacco or casino holdings) are incorporated as needed, and the firm does not employ private fund strategies.
