# Why Choose Us

Here's a sample of some services offered:

## Financial Planning

- Retirement Planning - Can you retire when you want to? How much will it cost and is the plan sustainable?
- Education Planning - Will it be a out-of-state private university or local community college? What's feasible?
- Required Rate of Return - How hard does your money need to work for you? How much risk do you need to take, and how much can you handle?
- Insurance Planning - I'll give you the best life, disability, and long-term care insurance advice without pushing products.
- Tax Planning - There's asset allocation and then there's asset location. How can both work for you?
- Coordinating With Your Other Advisors - Shouldn't your tax, legal, and financial advisors all be on the same page? Of course! So I help with that.

## Investment Management

- Asset Allocation Plan - I'll work with you to determine what kind of portfolio allocation is best.
- Portfolio Review - I'll look at your current investments and make recommendations to align your portfolio with your goals.
- Portfolio Management & Rebalancing - I'll construct a high quality, low cost portfolio for you and then keep it balanced to your allocation plan.
- Quality & Cost - I'll maintain your portfolio to ensure quality remains high and costs remain low.

## What You Can Expect 

- Transparency - Ridgeview Financial Planning is a fee-only firm so you'll know exactly what the services will cost, no surprises. All of my recommendations will be in writing. Any conflicts of interest will be disclosed.
- Accountability - I work for you, not a brokerage firm, so my loyalty to you is undivided. I'm held to the ***fiduciary standard***, higher than "brokers" and other investment salespersons.  
- Education - Whether it's about today's market activity, Federal Reserve policy, or whether or not you should pay off your mortgage, I love answering questions. You should be as market-savvy as you want, and I want to help get you there.
- Open Communication - I'll be available for regular review meetings and one-off questions. 

## FINANCIAL PLANNING

Can you afford to retire when you want to? Are you maximizing your Social Security benefits? Are you confident in your financial plan?
