What to expect in the first meeting
Our initial meeting is an opportunity to have an open conversation about your financial situation and goals. There’s no pressure to come prepared with specific documents—this meeting is all about understanding what matters most to you and exploring how I can support your financial journey. During our time, we’ll cover: 1) Your financial picture: Whether you’re looking for guidance on investments, estate planning, or managing day-to-day finances, we’ll discuss your current approach and any areas you’re focused on improving. 2) Family and future planning: We’ll also explore how your financial goals impact those around you, including family considerations like wealth transfer, legacy planning, or educating the next generation. 3) Investment philosophy: I’ll share our firm’s approach to investing, including how we identify strong companies, evaluate long-term opportunities, and manage risk. We’ll review the key factors we consider when building portfolios, such as quality, growth potential, and financial health, along with the strategies we use to mitigate risk while aiming for sustainable returns. 4) My approach: I’ll share how I work with clients, tailoring strategies to meet your unique needs—whether you’re focused on growing wealth, preserving it, or planning for the long term. 5) Next steps: If we both feel this is a good fit, we’ll discuss what the next steps look like, including any specific actions we can take to help you achieve your goals. Feel free to bring any questions or concerns, whether it’s about creating a more efficient financial plan, managing complex assets, or navigating life’s transitions. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, answer your questions, and provide clear direction on how we can move forward together.Offers Investment Management

About RGA Investment Advisors
RGA Investment Advisors, LLC is an independent investment management firm. The Company builds client portfolios with a low turnover, long-term investment strategy focused on identifying fundamentally attractive securities.What’s Out There
Experienced investors know that financial markets are cyclical. Unfortunately, people too often put emotional interest ahead of financial prudence. Having worked through the dot.com and real estate bubbles, we’ve seen first hand how reactionary thinking breeds instability and leads to booms and busts. Worse yet, the financial industry plays its own dangerous game. Professionals whose livelihood depends on the generation of commissions are less likely to engage in prudent management. Firms facing this conflict of interest will seek their own benefit at the expense of the client, often herding people into opaque structures or using product sales to churn their clients’ accounts. In this system, there is no arbiter; no accountability. We think there is a better way.
What We Believe In
At RGA, we believe the financial industry should forge a trust between advisor and stakeholder. We see ourselves as stewards of our clients’ hard earned wealth, determined to focus first and foremost on our clients’ interests. We will never sell results to begin a relationship; instead, we seek people who share our core philosophy and vision. Our clients are long-term thinkers who understand that wealth management is a marathon, not a sprint. While outcomes matter, our clients believe, first, in our process.
Why RGA?
We have one simple and transparent fee, and we sell absolutely no products of any kind. We place great emphasis on understanding each client’s long-term goals, and we invest with an eye toward the future, creating a realistic path toward meeting and exceeding long-term needs. We aim to minimize fees and tax consequence while maximizing our clients’ ultimate ability to compound wealth. It is our mission to grow alongside our clients, not at their expense. Just as we seek healthy, long-term investments, so do we hope to create client relationships that last a lifetime.

Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
