As a formerly practicing CPA, Noah Rubin’s approach focuses on forward-looking and effective tax management and general tax awareness. As tax laws ebb and flow, it’s important for you to know how to navigate these changes in order to enhance your benefits with investments, retirement plans, liability management, and other assets. On your behalf, we analyze investments and income and how they are likely to be treated from a tax standpoint.

In our experience, fear and greed often drive clients’ money-based decisions, and thus, behavioral finance considers the role that psychology and emotions play in investment decision-making. One common bias is the tendency to chase winners and losers – that is, chasing the previous year’s top-performing asset class or worst-performing asset class. Historically, following the best and worst asset classes does not result in exceeding returns. It’s a bit like a fad diet, in that you’ll hear about it often and you may want to join in yourself, but some doctors would tell you consistency and variety in your diet is key. Thus, we tend toward globally diversified portfolios for our clients, which we review and rebalance timely.

Asset allocation and diversification are investment methods used to help manage risk. They do not guarantee investment returns or eliminate risk of loss including in a declining market.

Utilizing the Envision® planning process, we set an appropriate asset allocation strategy – so you’re never taking on more risk than necessary – to pursue your goals and objectives. We also consider adding life, disability, and long-term care insurance¹ solutions to help protect you and your family from the unexpected.

Insurance is like eating healthy and exercising. It helps protect and preserve the life you’re always building on. Specifically, life insurance helps safeguard the income your family depends on. It can also be used for creating a source of supplemental retirement income, as well as for business or legacy planning. As you can imagine, there’s a lot to consider – including how much you need, what kind you need, and more – and we can refer you to experienced independent professionals who will review the possibilities with you and help determine the best solution.
