About Me
Services
A. Introductory Meeting
During the first meeting I complete a preliminary review of your financial situation.
• Review income and expense levels with you to develop appropriate financial strategies.
• Guide you to lower levels of credit card debt to reduce high interest expenditures.
• Determine your financial goals and time frames for saving for retirement, education, and other large purchases.
• Discuss the effects of duration on fixed income investments.
• Discuss the benefits of diversification of asset classes.
I help individuals with the responsible investment of financial assets -- primarily investments in no-load mutual funds. I develop tailored investment strategies for my clients and provide ongoing assessment of changing needs. I work closely with clients to access needs, provide education and support for financial awareness.
Testimonials
January 2011
I highly recommend Richard Magarian. Great communicator, knows his stuff, and skillful at helpful the rest of us navigate financial issues. I started working with him when I was managing to make bad investment decisions even during a good market, and he really helped me get on track and gain clarity about my goals. His input was super-helpful at that time, and even more so during the current volatile market. I would also add that we met when our kids were at the same pre-school, and now my daughter is off to college; he has been a great source of support throughout that transition, which has been especially valuable since I am a single parent and don't have a spouse/partner to help sort me out the financial details. Highly recommended!

He's helped me create a plan that's easy for me to implement and maintain.
