Comprehensive Financial Planning and Investment Management
Childfree Wealth provides financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, and
related advisory services. Childfree Wealth primarily employs an investment strategy which reflects a Client’s
goals and risk tolerance. This service begins with Clients providing us with their personal and financial
information to help complete the following areas of analysis: net worth, cash flow, insurance, credit
scores/reports, employee benefits, retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate
planning. As the market dictates, Childfree Wealth will rebalance when necessary.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the
specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your approval
prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you
sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or
sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
We also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf of your
account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm on a
non-discretionary basis.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning begins with Clients providing us with their personal and financial information to help complete
the following areas of analysis: net worth, cash flow, insurance, credit scores/reports, employee benefits,
retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate planning. We will evaluate a Client's
current and future financial state by using currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values, and
withdrawal plans. Clients will receive an electronic report, providing the Client with a detailed financial plan
designed to achieve his or her stated financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan will address any or all of the following areas of concern. These areas may include,
but are not limited to, the following:
Business Planning: We provide consulting services for Clients who currently operate their own business, are
considering starting a business, or are planning for an exit from their current business. Under this type of
engagement, we work with you to assess your current situation, identify your objectives, and develop a plan
aimed at achieving your goals.
Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses to determine
your current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus should be used or how to
reduce expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be provided on which debts to pay off first
based on factors such as the interest rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also
recommend what we believe to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and
other financial goals, along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus
strategies to save desired amounts.
College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other
post-secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount.
Recommendations as to savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we will review your financial picture
as it relates to eligibility for financial aid or the best
way to contribute to children and grandchildren (if
appropriate).
Employee Benefits Optimization: We will provide review and analysis as to whether you, as an employee,
are taking the maximum advantage possible of your employee benefits. If you are a business owner, we will
consider and/or recommend the various benefit programs that can be structured to meet both business and
personal retirement goals.
Estate Planning: This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your current estate
plan, which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts, and other related documents. Our
advice also typically includes ways for you to minimize or avoid future estate taxes by implementing
appropriate estate planning strategies such as the use of applicable trusts. We always recommend that you
consult with a qualified attorney when you initiate, update, or complete estate planning activities. We may
provide you with contact information for attorneys who specialize in estate planning when you wish to hire an
attorney for such purposes. From time-to-time, we will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and
your attorney with your approval or request.
Financial Goals: We will help Clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach them. We will
identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it happen, how much time you
will need to reach the goal, and how much you should budget for your goal.
Insurance: Review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability, long-term care,
liability, home, and automobile.
Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet Clients’ financial
goals and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and strategies, reviewing employee
stock options, as well as assisting you in establishing your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer
or custodian. The strategies and types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of
this brochure.
Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of your likelihood of
achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the primary objective. For
situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may make recommendations, including
those that may impact the original projections by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving
more, spending less, taking more risk with investments).
If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be given on appropriate distribution strategies to
minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to adversely alter spending during your retirement
years
Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to major risks that
could have a significant adverse impact on your financial picture, such as premature death, disability, property
and casualty losses, or the need for long-term care planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize
such risks and about weighing the costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise,
the potential cost of not purchasing insurance (“self-insuring”).
Tax Planning Strategies: Advice may include ways to minimize current and future income taxes as a part of
your overall financial planning picture. For example, we may make recommendations on which type of
account(s) or specific investments should be owned based in part on their “tax efficiency,” with the
consideration that there is always a possibility of future changes to federal, state or local tax laws and rates
that may impact your situation.
We recommend that you consult with a qualified tax professional before initiating any tax planning strategy,
and we may provide you with contact information for accountants or attorneys who specialize in this area if
you wish to hire someone for such purposes. We will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and
your tax professional with your approval.
