    Products & Prices - Mutual Funds

    We continue with a unique series to enhance product decision-making. This week is all about mutual funds - types, uses, costs, and considerations. Level-up you decisions about these important tools within your financial plan! Weekly Verse(s): Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.[a] O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own. I know, my God, that you test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you. - 1 Chronicles 29:11-17 (ESV) Fidere Media, LLC is not affiliated with Fidere Advisors, LLC.

    Year-End Planning - Part Two

    This week, we stick with year-end money moves to help strengthen your position. Hear about HSAs, RMDs, QCDs, Roth Conversions, and other techniques. Gain the tools and perspective from which to approach a multi-faceted, multi-year income tax plan for your family! And what if you’re a business owner?  What are the options? These are the questions we'll help you answer - and beyond what AI can give you! We hope you capture year-end giving and planning opportunities. Enjoy! Weekly Verses: And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried.  For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Luke 12:29-34 (ESV) References: English Standard Version Bible, 2001, Luke 12:29-34 Fidere Media, LLC is not affiliated with Fidere Advisors, LLC.  Content on this site and related linked sites is offered for informational purposes only, and does not represent advice, an offer to transact securities, or a financial planning engagement.
