When was the last time your financial advisor brought up the issue of long term care? Chances are that he/she probably hasn’t. Let me tell you why.
In this economic environment most advisers are working overtime talking to their clients about mitigating the large losses in their portfolios. They work tirelessly to make sure that their clients’ assets are protected from the risks they face in the investment market. They’re taking calls and trying to ease people’s minds about the future, reassuring them that they are capable of recovering what they’ve lost (at least in most cases).
So, the real question is, “Does your financial advisor really have the time to talk about the greatest risk to your retirement assets, living a long life and needing care?” I would submit to you that not only does your advisor not have the time, he most likely will not have the depth of knowledge to create a solution that works for your family.
You see, our approach is to take that burden off the shoulders of the person that should be asking their clients to plan for the consequences of long term care, and work together with them to create meaningful solutions that are in the best interests of everyone involved. It’s a worthwhile endeavour and one in which we are proud to lead the way.
