Process

Step Two: Second Meeting: Recommendations
After your financial security advisor has had time to study your information, a second meeting will be arranged to discuss recommendations and present the financial security plan that was designed based on your specific needs. Only at this time will products be discussed and only in the context of the role they play in the overall plan. A questionnaire will be done to determine your risk tolerance and from there the financial security advisor's homework is to prepare the forms required to implement the solutions in the financial security plan and you will have time to think things over.


The financial security planning process is a life-long process and you will continue an on-going relationship with your financial security advisor, keeping your overall plan up to date in changing circumstances
