NEVER STOP LEARNING! Chartered Sustainable Responsible Impact Investing Counselor Designation™ (CSRIC®)

 




Hey guys what is going on? I hope you are doing fantastic. In addition to my Certified Financial Planner™ designation, which I have had since 2005, I recently achieved the Chartered Sustainable Responsible Impact Investing Counselor™ (CSRIC®) designation.  The CSRIC® designation took me over 6 months of studying and taking a test to earn.  This is one of the things that I really love about my wealth management business, which is that it never gets boring. I am someone that gets bored very easily and very quickly and I guess I'm not bored yet because I have been working in the business for over 25 years! I'm someone who loves learning and learning new things and staying on the cutting edge of things not just for myself but for our clients.  The reason I decided to achieve the Chartered Sustainable Responsible Impact Investing Counselor™ (CSRIC®) designation is that I have had more and more clients asking me about this type of strategy and investing such as the ESG or Environmental Social and Governance strategy and rather than just doing an internet search to learn about it, which I did as well, I found this designation and it provided me access to all the research that the College of Financial Planning compiled on this subject to create the designation and a more focused way to learn about the topic of Sustainable, Responsible and Impact Investing.  I wanted to learn about the topic not because I am recommending this type of investing to my clients but I want to be able to answer their questions to the best of my ability to help them work towards their financial goals. If you would like more information about Sustainable Responsible Impact investing please let me know.  In addition, we are having another one of our Women Wealth Wellness and Wine workshops on April 20th so if you're a woman and you would like more knowledge and an action plan to give you a better foundation for financial security specific to women's issues please let me know and we would love to have you there!  Please RSVP by emailing me at cyril.white@fourfinancial.com or calling (734) 272-4322.  If there's anything my firm can do for any of you please let me know and we'd love to do so! Thanks, and have a great day!

COVID will not stop us providing unique settlement solutions using structured settlement annuities!

I hope that you are doing well! We just FINALLY completed the settlement of a case for a minor (age 17) that we were initially engaged by our plaintiff attorney client in February 2021, to provide structured settlement annuity quotes! Although the claimant was very close to the age of majority the key to the case was not giving him all of the settlement proceeds, which was over $120,000, at age 18. Having been in this business for over 20 years I cannot tell you the number of sad cases we have witnessed where the young claimant receives their settlement proceeds at age 18 only to blow through all the funds before anyone can blink and make bad decisions with the proceeds! This case involved two liability insurance carriers Liberty Mutual and Member Select. We coordinated multiple rounds of document revisions and had to have a separate set of different documents for each insurance carrier. In addition, one of the carriers would not fund the annuity until we had a fully executed court ord

Using a structured settlement annuity pre-suit

 We recently were engaged by the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) in the case of an 11 year old boy who was struck by a care while riding his bike.  The father of the boy settled the case directly with the liability auto insurance carrier pre-suit and the GAL contacted us to ensure that the boy's settlement funds were handled appropriately. The case settled for a total of $65,000 and $59,000 was being allocated to the structured settlement annuity for the boy as follows: $5,000 paid immediately upon settlement $10,000 at age 18 $20,000 at age 21 $25,000 at age 25 $35,718 at age 30 this is total benefits of $95,718! The annuity was placed with a large life insurance company rated A+ by the A.M. Best rating agency and provided the family and GAL with the peace of mind that the young man would not receive the entire amount at age 18. In addition, due to the use of the structured settlement annuity, all of the interest gained during the payout period ($31,718 to be exact) is INCOME TAX FREE!  T
