AXA Advisors

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional


Hello and welcome to my Website. I help individuals, families, and business owners develop appropriate financial strategies based on their various goals and objectives. These may include:
• Financial Planning
• Retirement Planning
• Tax-Advantaged Investment Strategies
• Education Savings Plans
• Life, Disability, and Long-Term Care Insurance

My approach is to listen carefully as clients describe their financial goals. I then gather all of their pertinent financial information and discuss possible strategies. Informing clients of the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies is vital. Because there is an overwhelming amount of financial information available, it can be difficult to know how to proceed. I believe in maintaining long-term relationships with clients and working together to review their situations regularly and making changes as needed.

My current FINRA securities registrations include the Series 6, 7, 24, 53, 63, and 65. In addition, I regularly attend Continuing Education classes so that clients can count on me for accurate, up-to-date advice.

HOT TOPIC: Breaking Down the Debt-Ceiling Compromise

The Budget Control Act of 2011 raised the federal debt ceiling, mandated modest but significant caps on discretionary spending over the next ten years, and left the details of larger deficit reduction to a 12 member, bipartisan “super committee.” The main provisions of the law include the assumption that higher tax rates will return in 2013.

HOT TOPIC: Understanding the Three New U.S. Trade Agreements

Federal Estate Tax Is Much Lower — For Now

The federal estate tax was repealed in 2010, then reinstated by the 2010 Tax Relief Act with new provisions for 2011 and 2012. This article discusses the temporary provisions, the options for estates of 2010 decedents, and potential changes in future years that could subject many more estates to the federal estate tax than under current law.

Be Ready for a Change in Interest Rates

Fluctuating interest rates can be challenging for bond investors who want to reinvest their principal. When rates are low, they may have to accept lower yields; when rates rise when principal is tied up, they may not be able to benefit. One strategy to help manage reinvestment risk is to build a bond ladder.
