Investment Management

We use portfolio managers that allocate assets globally and include investments in stocks, fixed income, commodities, real estate, cash, and other asset classes.
Retirement Planning
How much money do you need in retirement to maintain your desired lifestyle? That is a question you may have asked yourself many times. Retirement planning may have been relatively simple at one time. Many people worked until their mid-60’s, received a monthly pension when they retired, and died within 10 years of retirement. Things have certainly changed! Lifestyle expenses, Social Security, inflation, volatile stock markets, higher taxes, longer lifespans, and high health care costs are all landmines to avoid in putting together a viable retirement strategy.
Financial Planning
Making sense of your finances requires more time and effort than ever in today’s constantly changing economic environment. It is likely that some of your financial goals conflict. Deciding how to navigate and manage these conflicts takes careful strategic and tactical planning.
Educational Planning
College expenses have risen at an alarming average of 7% per year over the last 20 years! We help clients implement tax advantaged strategies that allow them to accumulate dollars to help cover those rising costs.
Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
The majority of Americans save for retirement through their company’s retirement plan. We work closely with businesses who understand the need for a plan as a recruiting and retention tool. There are an overwhelming variety of plans and provisions to consider as well as numerous, recent regulatory changes that have made it more complicated for plan sponsors. The seasoned professionals at Walker, Higgins have the experience and resources necessary to help navigate the marketplace to find the unique plan that works for them and their employees.
