Item # ECP18 - Low Cost, Customized-to Your-Specific-Needs, Personal Money Manager with Patented Processes for Managing Personal Investments, IRA's and 401(k) Self-Directed Accounts

Patented risk management processes auto notify this manager on the suggested timing for selling select securities so as to minimize downside risk. This is all done at a lower expense than the typical mutual fund arrangement (e.g. 30% to 40% less) which can increase the portfolio's net rate of return

Item# ECP21 – Specialized Consultant for Developing a Formalized Long Term Care Plan (LTC Plan ™) via Risk Assessment and Risk Mitigation for Suitably-Appropriate Persons
Few Americans have a formal LTC plan, including many who have purchased insurance. Most LTC advisors are licensed agents who focus primarily on selling insurance products instead of developing a formalized LTC Plan™ for managing overall LTC risk. This highly-credentialed, experienced and insurance company-agnostic advisor works with age 50+ individuals / couples with $750,000+ in liquid assets to assess and mitigate their LTC risk in creative and appropriately beneficial ways. The planning process begins with an in-depth conversation about family, care giving, care settings, health histories, retirement planning, legacy planning, asset protection and client preferences. Various funding options are then considered, with insurance typically the most efficient means of funding a well-designed LTC Plan. The LTC Plan provides peace of mind for family members and allows them to both coordinate the long term care (and not provide the care themselves), as well as protect their assets so that their own personal financial, retirement and legacy plans can be executed as desired.
