Investment Management Account

An Investment Management Account (IMA) relieves you of the daily stress of keeping up with the continually changing financial market. When you open an IMA, we will develop an asset allocation plan just for you. It is based on your risk tolerance, financial goals, and objectives. Then, we will make investment decisions for your account based on thorough and comprehensive research of all appropriate investments and market conditions.

In the ongoing analysis of your IMA account:

  • We measure the performance of your current investments
  • We monitor the market for other attractive investments
  • We carefully watch economic conditions and market movements.
  • IMAs are available to individuals (taxable or taxpayer deferred accounts), small businesses, pensions, and profit sharing plans.

Retirement Planning and IRA Rollover

Proper management for your retirement distributions is perhaps the most crucial factor in securing your financial future. There are several important tax implications and investment decisions to consider before receiving your 401(k)or other retirement plan distributions. It pays to know your options.

For example: If you do not roll your distribution directly into an IRA or other tax qualified plan, your distribution could be subject to taxes and IRS penalties.

Management of your rollover plan can be done with either a Self-Directed Account or an Investment Management Account. If you are comfortable making and monitoring your own investment decisions, our Self-Directed account may be best for you. On the other hand, if you are not comfortable making your own investment decisions, or simply just do not have time to monitor your portfolio and market conditions, then our Investment Management Account (IMA) is for you. Your account will be managed and monitored under the watchful eye of our investment professionals.

Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

Whether you're saving for a child's education, your first home, or a more comfortable retirement, we'll help you get there. We offer the Roth IRA, the Coverdell Education Savings Account and the improved Traditional IRA.

You can open your IRA with as little as $100 and take advantage of deferred taxes on the growth of your account. In addition, contributions may be tax deductible. And, for your convenience, you can make contributions any time, even through automatic transfers from your checking account.

Custody Services

If you prefer to make your own investment decisions, but don't want to be bogged down by the time-consuming chores of owning securities, our Custody accounts may be just what you need. With this type of account, assets are bought and sold only at the client's instructions.

It is important to note that our investment professionals do not offer investment advice or recommendations for Custody accounts, but furnish periodic detailed statements listing all transactions.
