Educating Clients About Financial Planning
The topic of Financial Planning can cause tremendous anxiety for people who aren't sure where to start. It can cause similar anxiety for people who've started, but aren't sure what their next steps are.
"We believe the financial planning process is the path to feeling liberated and secure through knowledge about where your money goes and how it grows."

WHAT IS AN "EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND"?
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a group of assets.
There are thousands of ETF options, from traditional investments to alternative assets like commodities and currencies. An ETF trades similarly to a stock on an exchange, so ETF share prices go up and down throughout the day, as they are bought and sold.
HOW CAN ETFS FIT INTO YOUR PLAN?
Depending on you investment goals, ETFs can be used to gain exposure to nearly all types of asset classes. Justin Wanek can help you navigate ETF options to determine how they might fit into your portfolio.
WHO ARE ETFS FOR?
ETFs may be good for investors looking for more passive, liquid investments that track a specific benchmark, or who don't meet the minimum amounts for mutual funds. ETFs may not be good for individuals who aren't comfortable with risk or paying commissions on each transaction
