What is an investment plan?

An investment plan can be thought of as a “map” that shows your investment process from start to finish. It includes the analysis of your current financial standing, determining your personal goals, finding the appropriate resources to achieve those objectives, and monitoring the progress of your investments.

How does investment planning benefit me?

Investment planning with a financial advisor allows you to look at the big picture. Beginning or modifying your investment journey with informed, well-researched decisions increases your chances of seeing a positive return on your investment and mitigates risk. Your investment plan provides you with structure which, along with our financial team, will boost your confidence in your abilities to navigate the market’s natural fluctuations.

What variables are involved in an investment plan?

Great question! Investment plans are unique to each individual, so we’ll be customizing your experience by looking at factors like…


  • Your current income, savings, other assets you own, and taxes
  • How much risk you’re willing to take on 
  • When you’d like to achieve your financial goals
  • Available investment types, such as stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, annuities, real estate, etc.
  • How much you’d like to invest per month or year and if this will increase or decrease over time
  • How often you’d like to monitor your investments
