The cost of college education has soared. What you set aside for your children or grandchildren can make college tuition more affordable in the future. Your ability to afford college tuition in the future will most likely depend on how much you set aside today. Start investing in your child's future today.When your children or grandchildren are young, it's easy to believe you have plenty of time to save for college. In reality, the sooner you start putting money into a college savings plan-even a small amount-the more you'll benefit from the tax and other financial advantages.  There are a variety of ways to save and invest for college, including investments that offer attractive tax advantages.

Our advisors at Genesis Wealth Advisors will guide you through the complex issues involved in creating a personalized and flexible plan designed to help you make your Education Planning goals a reality.

When your life changes, your financial life does too.

While financial markets may offer excellent opportunities to grow your investments, they can also involve risk. Establishing and maintaining the appropriate asset allocation is critical to a successful long-term investment strategy.*

  • How long do you plan to invest? Is this a short-, medium-, or long-term investment?

  • Did you save enough money while you were working?

Our Areas of Experience

Market Summary


 

 Wealth Management

  • How do you decide whether to buy an individual stock, bond, mutual fund, commodity, or leave your money in your savings account?
  • What are the costs and implications of the investments you select?
  • Which types of investments should you hold in your retirement accounts instead of your brokerage accounts?
  • When is the right time to sell an investment?
  • How do you sort through the conflicting advice you read in magazines and on the Internet?

Given this complexity, many people want professional investment advice. Many people don't understand what their investments are or what they should be doing. In a well-constructed portfolio, each investment should fulfill a specific function and should be appropriate for your unique situation. Your portfolio will work harder for you when it contains the investments and uses investment strategies that have been selected based on your individual needs.

When your investments have been properly balanced, professionally managed, and are regularly reviewed, your goals may be more attainable.
