Comprehensive Financial Planning and Investment Management 

SCHEDULE A FREE  CONSULTATION 

You likely have several financial planning pieces in place—you pay taxes, invest at least a portion of your savings, have some insurance, and maybe you have done some estate planning and retirement planning, but chances are each of these pieces was developed independently and at different times in your life. Is it any surprise then that you’re unsure if you’re on the right track and making all the progress you could be?

To be effective, financial planning needs to be coordinated. Each piece of the financial plan needs to accomplish its own specific tasks as well as support the tasks of each other piece. We call this life-integrated financial planning, and we are experts in this area. We’ll look at your entire financial picture and help you fit the pieces together properly.

Subscription Based Fees: Cobalt Wealth Management does not require a minimum portfolio size to work with you. If you have solid earnings, little/no assets (not yet rich), complex needs, and the desire for proactive wealth management, we offer ongoing planning based on a monthly subscription fee ranging from $50 to $250 per month.

We give you comprehensive financial planning. We review all your accounts, your insurance policies, your employer retirement plans, your estate planning, your college funding, your retirement projections. We recommend a portfolio allocation based on your risk tolerance and goals. We transfer your accounts to our custodian TD Ameritrade. We reallocate, and we rebalance. We meet with you 2-4 times a year to review your investment performance and do those planning tasks. You receive quarterly performance reports whether or not we meet in that quarter.

Investment Portfolio Management

We offer a broad range of portfolio management and financial planning solutions customized for your specific needs, goals, and life stage. We apply a clear, well defined and objective process. Below is a cross-section of wealth management issues that our clients commonly encounter.

Key Portfolio Management Factors

• What is the current risk level of our total investment portfolio?
• Does our current portfolio meet our lifestyle needs? How might we reposition our investments to meet our lifestyle objectives?
• What is our net annual return in dollars and on a percentage basis?
• How much are we paying annually for investment advice?

Planning For Retirement

• How soon can we afford to downsize our careers or elect to fully retire and reasonably be expected to maintain our standard of living throughout our retirement years?
• Now that we are finally reaching our retirement years, how should we modify our investment plan to provide more stability and higher incoming at the expense of higher growth and volatility?
• What assumption are prudent to make about inflation, rate of return on investments, longevity?

Financial Management During Retirement

• How much can we draw annually from our investment portfolio to supplement other sources of retirement income, while still making sure that our portfolio value keeps up with inflation?
• What are the optimal choices to make for required minimum distributions from our retirement accounts prior to reaching age 70 1/2?
• What investments should I spend first in retirement - taxable or tax deferred retirement assets?
• Should we consider long-term care insurance? What are the key factors to consider?
• My spouse is not knowledgeable about (or perhaps not interested in) financial matters. Who can my spouse turn to for assistance if I am no longer available to handle our affairs?
