Asset Management Strategies in Baltimore, DC, & Surrounding Areas

After nearly 40 years of experience in business, the last 23 of which have been in the financial services industry, we have come to believe that every industry has people and companies that can greatly improve our lives and the way things get done.  Typically, no single firm, ours included, has a monopoly on their niche, talent, product, service or strategies used.  Our experience has shown us that quality companies with the right attitude, process and access to a variety of capabilities required to solve the problems at hand can make a difference.

The statistics have shown a high degree of dissatisfaction with current asset management advisors so we expect prospective clients to bring a healthy dose of skepticism to the table initially. Knowing that, our goal is to make a positive difference for the people, families and businesses we serve.

Today’s landscape of investment and wealth management products — corporate benefits, business and personal planning strategies, risk management and legal issues — makes putting the pieces together in a way that provides a successful outcome difficult to say the least. Add to that task , the flood of information gushing out from the Internet, television and talking heads selling books, seminars and tapes, as well as the continued global economic uncertainty, sovereign debt issues - and this list goes on….  The task of developing a coordinated asset management plan that will result in a successful outcome can be overwhelming.

At Pinson Wealth Management, while we don’t claim to have all of the answers, we do believe we can provide a process to assess your current positions against your desired outcomes in a way that makes sense. Assuming we agree that working together is going to be a comfortable, mutually rewarding, long-term relationship, we can begin to develop approaches that coordinate and integrate current assets and set in motion strategies and a course of action for their implementation. We fully expect and welcome the opportunity to work with your legal and accounting advisors to bring them into the fold on your behalf.

Howard Pinson is able to provide a comprehensive, integrated and coordinated approach to the many financial concerns of businesses, individuals and foundations primarily throughout the Baltimore-Washington corridor. We offer services including tax management, retirement planning, investments, and more. Taking an active, partnership approach, Pinson Wealth Management provides an in-depth assessment to clearly identify goals and tailor your strategies to meet these goals over time.

If you would like to see how we might work together for asset management or any other financial service, please contact us.

AXA Advisors does not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your tax and/or legal advisors regarding your particular circumstances.

Giving Strategies That Can Give Back

Americans gave more than $290 billion to charity in 2010, despite the slow economy. About 73% of charitable donations came directly from individuals. This article explains how a charitable remainder trust and a charitable lead trust could be used to provide more control over gifts while potentially benefiting the giver and his or her heirs.

Earning Income from Mutual Funds

More than half of working Americans are concerned that they may not have enough money to live comfortably during retirement. Although mutual funds are often thought of as a tool to build savings, they can also be used to generate income. This article examines the potential income benefits of bond funds, equity or stock income funds, and hybrid funds.

Variable Annuities and Your Retirement Strategy

An insurance product may appeal to pre-retirees who want to invest more of their current incomes for retirement and defer taxes on market gains. A variable annuity enables investors to pursue investment gains with the option to purchase guarantees (for an additional cost) to help protect against the downside risks of investing in the markets.

ETFs for the Conservative Investor

The number of exchange-traded funds has grown rapidly in the last decade. Total ETF assets exceeded $1 trillion in March 2011, an increase of more than $200 million over the previous year. This article explains the potential benefits of ETFs and why some of them might appeal to the risk-averse.
