It can be very difficult to convey the difference between an independent firm, like Buttonwood, and a bank or brokerage firm who may be recommending a product to earn a commission or talking up the latest stock from the research department.

The approach Buttonwood Financial Group takes is very different...

Focus of the Month

 

June ~ Investment Strategies!

Many financial firms charge a fee or commissions and simply manage assets. At Buttonwood we focus on your complete financial picture: Tax, Estate, Insurance, Gifting, Cash Flows, Business Planning and more.  That's Buttonwood Wealth Management!

As wealth builds life doesn't get simpler - it gets more complex!  Our mission is to assist our clients in organizing and taking control of their financial lives. 

Include non-traditional investments  

By adding alternative investments to your portfolio, it may be possible to provide a more favorable risk/reward profile. 

A typical investor’s portfolio is often a “bull-market bet,” and the investor is dependent on a rising stock market for long-term growth.  Conversely, by incorporating alternative investments it may be possible for an investor to maintain positive returns even when there is a downturn in the traditional financial markets. 

In addition, alternative investments have historically had low correlations to the stock and bond markets.

In the past, alternative investments have often required investors to utilize illiquid, multi year investment structures.  Today investors can find many investment options that will help them diversify portfolios and maintain daily liquidity.

  

If we can assist you in diversifying your financial portfolio, don't hesitate to contact Vince or Jon at 816-285-9000.
