Using Financial Goal Planning to reach the Retirement
you want and the Life Goals You Desire.

Financial planning is the process of meeting your life goals through the proper management of your finances. By setting goals, developing and implementing financial strategies, and monitoring progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.

At Select Portfolio Management, Inc. we believe that every investor needs and deserves a high quality financial plan. A friendly and meaningful goal-based Financial Plan that is Smart, Adaptable and Client Friendly. Whether you prefer a comprehensive "Financial Blueprint" or only want simplified planning for one or two specific needs ... our systems and software can help you look at the probability that you will be able to acheive your long-term financial goals on virtually any computer, tablet or smartphone.

Why Financial Planning with SPM is Different

Our Financial Planning process simply focuses on assumptions that have the highest probability to predict. For example, we believe is the long-term return on a portfolio, rebalanced annually is much more meaningful than trying to predict the performance of individual holdings. Focusing on clients’ savings and its relation to their current lifestyle is more predictive than trying to foretell actual income and expenses for the next 20 years. Most clients find it a challenge to budget for a entire year so it is likely they would be hard pressed to manage their life on a budget. It’s better to focus on what clients actually save. So in our improved financial planning process we look at client’s income this specific year, and see what they’re saving and/or contributing to investment portfolios, to retirement plans or for goal achievement.

Financial Goal Planning is an Ongoing Process

Our methodology is to show clients a plan as a range of possibilities. The more easily we can help clients do that ... the better their results progress over their lifetimes.

A FinancialGoal Plan (Financial Blueprint) helps clients make more appropriate decisions year after year, because they have better information. When a client is focused only on short-term returns, they often can miss the big picture.

Select Portfolio Management, Inc. (SPM) has developed a simple, two-step process to help individuals and families take control of their financial future.

We do all the hard work; all you have to do is dedicate a few hours of your time telling us about where you are financially and where you would like to go. We do the rest.
