Financial Planning

We combine thorough financial planning with customized investing to help you identify and achieve your most important life goals.

Customized Planning

Our detailed planning process allows us to completely understand each client's personal and financial situation, objectives, comfort level with risk and time horizon for achieving goals. This understanding allows us to:

  • Create customized investment portfolios
  • Help minimize tax liabilities inside and outside of client portfolios
  • Advise clients on estate planning with the assistance of our expert partners
  • Advise on tax-efficient, impactful philanthropic strategies.
  • Analyze existing risk mitigation and insurance strategies.
  • Review existing debt and liability structures to determine if better options can be utilized.

Advice that Serves You

The guidance that results from our planning process is based on the sole criteria of helping you meet your goals. Are you focused on retiring comfortably, selling or exiting a business or leaving a lasting legacy?. We always recommend the most appropriate , most cost-efficient products and solutions—and never those that don't help you reach your objectives.

Seeing the Big Picture

We recognize that no client's financial life is one-dimensional. Using our deep expertise in investing, tax management, risk mitigation and other areas, we coordinate all the elements of your financial life in order to help you reach your bottom-line goals and achieve peace of mind.

Investment Management

Successful investment management starts with discipline. It is the cornerstone of your financial future. We manage your assets as if they were our own. We work to achieve our clients goals through appropriate growth and income, but also have a finite focus on risk and all of the competing forces that can impact a portfolio over time. Through extensive research, tactical allocation, and focused risk modeling and management, our portfolios help clients stick with their plan and achieve their long-term goals.

Expertise Matters

Financial advisors have widely different levels of expertise. We believe that clients who entrust their wealth to an advisor deserve to work with highly credentialed experts.

Retirement Planning

Financing retirement has become increasingly complex and can cause unnecessary anxiety, especially for those who plan to access their retirement assets in the next several years. An array of investment options, combined with fluctuating interest and inflation rates and other variables, make it difficult to determine how much you will need, where you should invest, and to whom to turn for assistance.

The complex tax and legislative environment surrounding retirement planning only compounds the confusion. With qualified plans, such as IRA, pension, profit sharing, and 401(k) plans, the timing and amount of withdrawals are critical in order to avoid additional tax penalties. And if you have accumulated significant qualified plan assets, you may face additional problems, such as the "Double Tax Dilemma," where the government can tax these assets twice.

Let's begin.

Federal Employees

Federal Employees have unique needs and concerns that are specific to their career. Whether it’s planning for ‘earlier’ retirement due to your agency/role or decoding the differences between a traditional 401k and your TSP, Summit Investment Advisory Group has the experience to be your trusted partner. Our partnership with FED Benefits Center provides more than 20 years of knowledge and experience serving Federal Employees to ensure our solutions are tailored to their unique needs.

Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS)

Made up of the Basic Benefit, TSP, and Social Security the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) is the blended retirement income solution for Federal Employees. Options are built to provide solutions that work for multiple segments of Federal Employees. If someone leaves government service TSP and Social Security go with them, but the Basic Benefit is left behind.

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)

As a ‘defined contribution plan’, the retirement income received from the Thrift Savings Plan depends on how much the Federal Employee and their Agency contributes as well as the performance of the plans offered. Participants have choices between Lifecycle funds and Individual funds that are built around average needs and risk tolerances of Federal Employees.

We work with all of your professionals to help you with...

  • Wills
  • Trusts and Trust accounts
  • Power of attorney
  • Account beneficiaries
  • Beneficiary accounts
  • Gifting assets
  • Business exit and succession strategies
  • Philanthropic mission and vision
