Investment Management and Financial Planning
Planning for Physicians

Physicians, because of their high incomes and high visibility, are often easy
targets for bad advice.  When hiring an advisor, a considerable amount of
thought and research should be dedicated to the process.   After all, it’s only
your money.  

As scientific professionals, you are trained to develop rational strategies in
diagnosing or treating patients. The same practice should be executed with
your money.  

Successful portfolios are based on research and reasonable expectations,
not intuition. When it comes to the successful navigation of their own
financial health, doctors do not apply the same logic or expect the same
level of sophistication from their advisors.  Choosing the wrong advisor can
be detrimental to your hard earned wealth.


Questions to Ask Your Money Manager:

  • How are you paid?
  • Are your recommendations in any way influenced by compensation?
  • Do you have a clean regulatory record?
  • What are your credentials?
  • How much experience do you have?
  • How much authority will you exert over my accounts?
  • Do you coordinate with my other professionals?
  • Do you integrate all facets of financial planning, asset protection and
    wealth transfer planning into your practice?


Financial planning includes the setting of goals and objectives, a detailed
assessment of your current situation, the development of specific
strategies designed to help you achieve your stated goals, and the
presentation of a written plan. Cathy Pareto and Associates is a fee-only
advisor, we do not sell products.  Our team of advisors will work with you

More and more professionals are using the services of fee-only
independent advisors to help them with their personal financial plans and
investments. The reason for this trend is simple, with a
fiduciary, fee-only
advisor you have a dedicated and unbiased professional that not only has
your best interest at heart, but also adheres to the highest standards of
ethics within an industry plagued by frauds and glorified salespeople.
