Investment management at your service.
At First Choice Financial Services, LLC, our main objective is helping you accomplish your evolving investment aspirations and goals in today’s complex investment marketplace. The recommendations you receive are tailored to you and factor your risk tolerance, desired returns, time frame, and income specifications.
The benefit of asset maximization
Asset allocation is a management process that combines various asset classes (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more) into a portfolio. Asset maximization is a related strategy that layers in additional considerations, including lifetime after-tax income and the tax implications of generational wealth. Our confidence in this process, combined with our objective-driven management, make us a fit for those investing for retirement income. We’re also adept at focusing your assets to create a source of retirement income with moderate volatility and appropriate growth goals.
Asset maximization with a fiduciary
Advisors who are fiduciaries have an obligation to utilize products that are in your best interest. Therefore, we develop your personalized asset allocation model based on individual risk tolerance, objectives and financial needs. Using a disciplined investment philosophy and rigorous risk management, we focus on creating a portfolio to meet your individual goals.
Diversification and asset allocation does not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment loss. Before investing, you should carefully read the applicable volatility disclosure for each of the underlying funds, which can be found in the current prospectus.
