Investing that makes people rejoice!
About Jim
Jim uses a unique process called The Guardrails Formula. It is the concept of living between two financial guardrails: One guardrail represents spending too freely and/or not saving enough before retirement, hence running out of money before death. The other guardrail represents forfeiting a lifestyle that could have been afforded, yet dying with a lot of unspent money.
Jim provides his clients with the option of Values-Based portfolios which are managed by proven money managers. The managers focus on companies that benefit humanity and exclude industries that do harm to humanity.
For clients who are close to retirement, Jim offers investments that do not have any stock market risk. These offer a pension-like income that they cannot outlive.
