Trust Your Advisor then the Investment!

The most important issue that we try to stress to people is that the “trust” in any financial planning relationship starts with you and your financial advisor first. The recommended investments should come secondary to an already solid and positive client-advisor relationship. If no trust is established, then there will be minimal trust in the investment as well, and the financial planning relationship, as a whole, will suffer.

When you enjoy a relationship with your financial advisor, you view that person as someone who is looking out for your best interests, and a fiduciary who is serving you well, and that’s priceless! 

The main reason why an investor would typically back away from the client-advisor relationship is when they feel that the material facts and disclosures have not been properly and ethically laid out for them to make an informed decision on the direction they would like to take.

Our job is to educate you, inform you of all material facts, and disclose the most important factors that could impact your decision on a certain investment. Once all material facts have been laid on the table, such as fees and expenses, and you have a good understanding of what you can expect from the investment and the financial advisor, then the relationship is much more likely to be a successful, long term endeavor.

When people honor each other, there is a trust established that leads to synergy, interdependence, and deep respect. Both parties make decisions and choices based on what is right, what best, what is valued most highly.

OUR SERVICES

We're Here
to Guide You
in Many Areas

Defined Outcome Portfolio

An investment approach that explicitly seeks to reshape your investment's return potential over a given period of time.

Principal-Protected Investments

Significant downside protection while allowing growth. Often considered one of the safest investments and ideal for many retirees or soon to be retirees.

Holistic Financial Planning

We'll look at your entire financial picture then guide you to achieve your short-term and long-term goals.

Social Security Maximization

Let's optimize the timing and strategy of your social security benefits to ensure your maximum lifetime income. We’ll tell you if you should begin collecting at 62, 67, 70 or somewhere in between.

Estate Planning

Personalized estate plans to ensure your assets are managed and distributed as per your wishes, while also focusing on reducing potential tax liabilities.

OUR PROCESS

It's As Easy as
1 - 2 - 3 !

1- Initial Consultation

This is our initial, in-person consultation where we meet with you, get to know you, learn your current financial status, risk tolerance, where you want to be, and by when.

It goes into more depth than our introductory contact via phone or messaging. Therefore, it’s important to bring the proper paperwork to share your current financial situation.

This consultation is free and with no absolutely no obligation to proceed.

2- Initial Findings & Suggestions

After getting to know you and gathering the appropriate information, we will conduct a formal review of your personal holdings, the fees you are paying, the risk level you are at, and if we believe you can do better. We will show you an alternative approach, if necessary, to meet your financial goals in a practical timeframe.

This is also where working with a team of professionals with a combined 65 years experience comes into play. We have seen many investors take a lot of different approaches over the years. The single most value we can add, is preventing you (or at least trying) from the same mistakes others have made. We have certain convictions based on our professional experience on what works and what does not work for most clients.

To note, the second meeting is also complimentary. You are under no obligation or pressure to work with us. All we both risk is a couple hours of our time. However, if you do decide to implement any part of our strategy, we will begin to be compensated and those details will be discussed at our third meeting.

3- Implementation

When you agree to proceed, we will make your transition to O’Neil Financial as seamless as possible. We will need about 5-7 days from our second appointment to have all the necessary paperwork ready, and on-hand, so we can easily walk you through the process of implementing your new financial plan.

Our clients would normally refer to it as “hand-holding included”. However, it’s just something that comes natural to our office and we look forward to sharing that experience with you and your family.

But Wait, There's More!

Cheesy, we know, but in this case it’s true as our work is not done. We are committed to building a strong, working relationship with you that will last a lifetime. Therefore, it is recommended that you meet with us at least once a year to review your plan and keep up with changes in the financial markets. In our annual meetings, we will review the performance of your investments, rebalance your asset classes and categories as needed, and assess the latest changes in economic and tax conditions. Investing a few hours of your time per year, is time well invested!

And if you would like to meet more than once or twice a year, we’d love that! In general, we are happy to meet as many times and as often as you need because at O’Neil Financial, it is our sincere pleasure to serve you.

Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy and carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy.
