The Retirement Financial Center: Ahead of the trend!

Thomas T. Riquier, CFP®, CLU, is president of The Retirement Financial Center, a local CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional and a member of Ed Slott’s Master Elite IRA Advisor Group™.  Tom constantly evaluates economic trends and recommends appropriate portfolio changes. In September 2008, Tom made the tough recommendation to his clients to liquidate all securities. At nearly the bottom of the market in early March 2009, Tom advised his clients to reenter the market by investing 40% of the portfolio. In June 2009, he followed with the remaining 60%. Recently, he again recommended a cautious reallocation. Tom believes “your financial success is not only determined by how much you make when the markets go up, it is also determined by how much you don’t lose when they go down.”

Tom has 40 years of experience in finance, insurance, investment and retirement planning. He understands the unique financial needs of seniors. In addition, Tom is well-versed in IRA laws and rulings, 401k and pension plans, and employer and employee benefit plans.

Tom’s financial planning objectives for his clients include:  increasing investment return, decreasing tax liability, and protecting principal. The Retirement Financial Center is a comprehensive financial services firm committed to helping our clients improve their long-term financial success. Our customized programs are designed to grow, protect, and conserve our clients’ wealth by delivering an unprecedented level of personalized, concierge-type service and expertise.

Tom and his team practice the “total financial planning concept,” providing solid, unbiased advice for all the financial needs of his clients.

Our team of experienced professionals has a “hands on” approach to investment planning and a dedication to providing the sound guidance, education and expertise required in every phase of financial and retirement planning. Let us help maximize the growth of your money and retire or stay retired with confidence.

Corneau Wealth Management: Maybe you have a few questions…

No group felt the impact of the 2009 recession more than those nearing or just entering retirement. As the financial markets gradually show signs of recovery, new questions and challenges arise: Will you need to work longer than planned? Do you need to increase savings or adjust spending? What can you do now to better protect your assets and your lifestyle in retirement?

As an independent financial professional, I can help you find the answers you seek. I’ve focused my practice on understanding the unique challenges people face in preparing for retirement, and to provide personalized guidance that puts my clients’ goals first.

It’s important to understand that my approach doesn’t begin with answers or solutions. Instead, it begins with questions and a conversation that will help determine what is unique about you and your situation. Once we’ve determined your needs, preferences and goals, I will provide the analysis and research required to develop a strategy tailored to your individual needs that reflects your objectives and tolerance for risk.

Are you satisfied that your current financial strategy will help you live the life you desire? I have dedicated my professional career to helping clients effectively pursue their financial goals, working closely with them to build a comprehensive plan that seeks to meet today’s needs and prepares for tomorrow.

Throughout the past couple of years, even amidst economic uncertainty, I have focused on my clients’ individual needs, placing their best interests first, and have remained true to my philosophy that trust, honesty and integrity are key to building a strong financial foundation for my clients. This approach has benefited my clients, and I can offer this same personalized service and unbiased guidance to you.

Whether you are overdue for a financial checkup or want a second opinion on how you can protect and grow your wealth in 2011 and beyond, I invite you to call me at 978-299-3035 to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. It would be my privilege to help you create thoughtful, personalized financial strategies for you and your family.
