Financial Advisors in Plymouth, Michigan (Wayne County)

Wayne Titus, AIF, AIFA, CISA, CPA/PFS
We integrate tax, financial and investment strategy for families and small businesses. We relate best to people with whom we share the strongest values. A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care at either equity or law. A fiduciary is expected to be extremely loyal to the person to whom he owes the duty: he must not put his personal interests before the duty, and must not profit from his position as a fiduciary, unless the principal consents. My clients tend to be: ?Family Stewards - Individuals whose dominant focus is to take care of their family. They tend to be both personally and professionally conservative and typically have limited knowledge about investing. ?Financial Phobics - Individuals often frustrated and confused by the responsibility of wealth, dislike investing and avoid technical discussions of it. They choose their advisors based on personal trust. ?Independents - seeking the personal freedom that wealth makes possible. They know wealth is a means to an end, but are uninterested in the process of investing itself.... See More

Our mission is to help people to make smart choices while preparing for and entering retirement. To do so, our firm, StraitGate Financial LLC, offers two different planning options from which to choose from based on your specific financial needs. These options are retirement income planning, specialized for those both planning for retirement and those already retired, and investment planning.
A retirement income plan will look at investments, Social Security benefits, pension, debt, insurance, taxes, retirement savings, and provides retirement income projections. If you are still working and preparing for retirement, we will concentrate more on retirement savings. If you are already in retirement, more emphasis will be placed on retirement income through Social Security Benefits, investments, and pensions.
An investment plan will look at your current investments, reviewing your allocations, risk levels and performance, retirement savings, and investment managers.
An estate plan review is not included in a retirement income plan or investment plan, but can be done upon request for an additional fee.... See More
