Colorado Financial Advisors- Financial Stewards LLC 970 - 672 2111 Financial Advisor in Fort Collins Colorado

Henry Ho, Founder and President of Financial Stewards LLC.

It is 2012, and most Baby Boomers are still affected by the financial crisis of 2008, one of the worst in our lifetime, and second only to the Great Depression. Many are facing various challenges, from managing risk, staying ahead of inflation, the possibility of running out of money, to the prospect of longevity and disability, on top of national issues such as Social Security, Medicare, the national debt, dollar devaluation, and more. I truly empathize with them.

Families, from middle-income to high net worth, are busy with jobs and business, kids and lifestyle needs. It can be difficult to keep up with the rapid changes unfolding before our eyes. The markets and the economy don't seem to move in lockstep. Volatility has been and will likely remain quite high. We have before us, substantial risks ... and opportunities. Families need and deserve sound advice and direction.

 

Your Fee based Registered Investment Advisor

Flat fee from 0.5% to 1.5% on AUM. Transparent. Absolutely no transaction costs.

Financial Stewards stands apart as an independent, staying current, but away from the noise and clamor of Wall Street. Our single and only loyalty is to our clients. We offer a wide selection of cutting edge financial solutions to bring maximum benefits to our clients. We maintain a balance of Perspective and Execution.

Perspective: Enduring success comes through discerning and asking the right questions. We distill information that move markets from news that are merely sensational.

Execution: We embrace both Strategic and Tactical portfolio strategies. There is a time and place for both. While we are against all the wrong of Wall Street, we continually "comb the land" for opportunities, and sound, suitable financial solutions.

We live in exponential times. Change is not just a constant - it is accelerating. To understand the times and adapt is the key to survival, even thriving. The financial world has changed dramatically in the past decade. Old buy-and-hold strategies have the potential to devastate investors.

Financial Stewards is here to journey with you to a more secure tomorrow.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

Are Consumers Holding the Keys to a Better Economy?

Consumer spending still accounts for about 70% of gross domestic product, but some government statistics suggest that consumers may have reduced spending drastically in recent years, especially on discretionary items. High unemployment, household debt, and a general lack of confidence can affect consumers' ability and willingness to spend.

Exchange-Traded Funds: In a Class by Themselves

In 2010, the combined assets of the nation's ETFs topped more than $800 billion. ETFs are unique investments that share some similarities with mutual funds but trade like stocks. ETFs have some appealing characteristics, including trading flexibility, potentially lower expense ratios, tax efficiency, and diversification.

Consider Your Retirement Needs, but Don't Forget Your Retirement Wants

A rule of thumb is that workers will need to replace about 80% of their pre-retirement incomes to maintain their standard of living in retirement. But they may need more than 80% to fund a lifestyle that they can truly look forward to. As people grow older, what once may have been considered luxuries can become basic needs.
