Estate Planning & Philanthropy

Creating an estate plan as part of your comprehensive financial strategy can be one of the most effective ways of lowering estate taxes, while providing for your family and leaving a legacy for the future. As your estate planning partner, KCG Investment Advisory Services may:

• Coordinate with your attorney and CPA to implement your estate plan from beginning to end
• Retitle assets to reduce or eliminate estate taxes or avoid probate
• Conduct routinely scheduled planning reviews
• Review and coordinate your philanthropic/charitable contributions

Asset Allocation

By developing an understanding of your financial picture, we select a combination of investments well suited to your long-term goals, income expectations, and risk tolerance. We view this process as an ongoing endeavor which maintains alignment between strategy and execution and helps to safeguard you from common investment mistakes.

Retirement Analysis

We develop personalized projections based on conservative assumptions, creating a realistic path to helping you toward your goals. By analyzing multiple scenarios, we estimate potential outcomes and make informed decisions regarding the most appropriate solutions. We monitor your investments and communicate where you are in meeting your goals on an ongoing basis.

Our innovative Distribution Strategy replaces conventional evaluation processes which determine how and when an individual’s retirement savings should be distributed, with a new statistical method. This strategy is also ideal for helping foundations determine the optimum annual distribution of their portfolio balances.

Tax Planning

Our advisors provide guidance about strategies that could impact your tax situation. We collaborate with you and your tax advisor to make sure we are all working toward common goals.

Insurance Analysis

It is our goal to provide you and your family with a sense of safety and security by evaluating your current insurance strategies (ownership, beneficiaries, and so on), and also by identifying any potential gaps in coverage that unnecessarily increase your exposure to various insurable risks. Through our strategic alliances we are able to offer you a wide array of insurance choices.

Employee Benefits Analysis

We work to help you understand the value of the employee benefits which are afforded to you and to develop ways to maximize and integrate them into your overall financial plan. Our analysis and recommendations cover stock option exercise strategies, investment options and allocations, and compensation elections, among others.

Education Funding

We understand the importance of saving to meet your goals for financing your children’s or grandchildren’s education. 

At KCG Investment Advisory Services, our analyses enable us to recommend the funding methods and saving strategies that position you to meet your goals for financing your children’s or grandchildren’s education. We create projections, help you implement your plan, and monitor its progress on an ongoing basis.
