ing knowledge of the Joshua

nel and policies. The acad-
emy consists of a series of

10 weeks and one Saturday

ness whereas to dispel sus-
picions and misconceptions

nity from the students’ inter-
action and input.

When Investing, "Face to
Face” Beats Fingers
on Keyboard
These days, you can purchase just about
anything you want on the Internet. However,
you can still benefit from a human, face-to-
face experience for some purchases — such
as your investments. And that’s why you may
want to work with a financial professional.
Unlike a computer interface, a financial
professional will takethetimeto truly know
your situation today —and then help you
make adjustments for tomorrow.
Let’s fir st I ook at two key ar eas a fin an ci al
professional will consider today:
• Your risk tolerance — By asking the
right questions, a financial professional can
help you determine if you’re a moderate,
conservative or aggressive investor and
then recommend those investments that are
suitable for your risk tolerance.
• Your time horizon — If you’re saving
for a down payment on a new home you
expect to purchase within two to three years,
you may want an investment that offers
significant preservation of principal. But
if you’re saving for retirement, and you’re
three decades away from it, you’ll likely
need investments that offer the potential
for growth. Your financial advisor can help
you choose the mix of short- and long-
term investments that can help you make
progress toward all your goals.
Now let’s look at the types of milestones
afinancial professional can help you with as
your life progresses:
• New child—When you bring a new chi Id
intoyourlife, you also add newresponsibilities.
Do you have sufficient life insurance? Do you
plan to help your child pay for college? If so,
what college funding vehicles should you
consider? A financial professional can help
you answer these questions.
• New spouse—Whether you’re getting
married for the first time or remarrying,
you’ll have to reconcile your financial
picture with that of your new spouse. A
financial professional can review both your
* ^ T- f
K Js 1 ' I

Macy
situations and possibly
recommend ways for you
to reduce debt, eliminate
redundancies in your
investment portfolios
and consolidate insurance
j coverage.
• Job — When you
ft , im I change jobs, you may
ft——have to make many
i nvestment-related
decisions: Should you
move the assets from
Commentary your old employer’s
401(k) to an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA)? Or should
you roll over your old 401(k) to your new
employer’s plan, if a rollover is allowed?
Knowing your options when you leave your
job can help you make the right choice
for your retirement savings. A qualified
financial professional can help you review
and understand your rollover choices.
• Retirement —Once you retire, you’ll
have several issues to consider: How much
can you withdraw from your investments
each year? From which accounts? Should
you rebalance your portfolio to provide
more potential sources of income? What
about the transfer of your wealth? A
financial professional who is familiar with
your situation can help you make the right
moves to enjoy the retirement lifestyle
you’ve envisioned.
So when you really want to invest, leave
the “virtual” world behind and connect with
afinancial professional —someone who has
gained insight into your individual needsand
who has the experience and expertise to help
you build, maintain and adjust a portfolio
that can help you move toward your goals.
