While not known as a retirement guru, Lombardi’s quote is priceless in its application. And especially true as one approaches retirement.

Having met with hundreds of 2nd-halfers over the years, one thing has become clear: things change. Our goal is to help you thrive regardless. Building your financial plan is an important piece of how we serve clients. But it’s really a means to an end, one facet of how we help make your best years even better.

Our process is designed to identify the unique opportunities and potential blind spots or vulnerabilities with each family and result in a unique strategy built just for you. Armed with more clarity and peace of mind, you can be aggressive in your 2nd Half and not confused.

As a fiduciary, 2nd Half Capital is required to put your best interests first. Meaning we are literally, "For your best." We are independent, meaning we are not limited to one set of portfolios, products or strategies, but can leverage the right tools to fit your specific situation.

Our independence and strategic partnerships often provide us with access to products or strategies not available with other advisors.

Ongoing education is woven throughout our process starting from our very first interaction. An educated client is a client likely to make the most of their 2nd Half.

Whether your objectives are growth, protection or legacy-oriented, our approach will result in a comprehensive plan built just for you.
