For your security and convenience, we use Charles Schwab and Fidelity as trusted third-party custodians for client investment and retirement accounts.
Charles Schwab manages over $10 trillion in client assets and serves approximately 36 million accounts.
Fidelity administers about $15 trillion in assets and has nearly 50 million customers.
Both Charles Schwab and Fidelity ensure your investment accounts are securely held and provide annual reporting to you and the IRS.
You can easily view your accounts at any time through the custodian’s website or by accessing the Cravitz Financial Client Portal.
As part of a comprehensive retirement plan, we often identify a need for life insurance, annuities, or long-term care insurance.
As an independent firm, we have no ties to any specific carriers. If you require life insurance, for example, we’ll research the top providers, clearly explain the pros and cons of each, and guide you through the process of securing the right policy.
We also review any existing policies you have to ensure they meet your current and future needs.
Yes, we work with clients across the United States.
In fact, many of our local clients prefer virtual meetings as well. Instead of driving to our office, they can connect with us from the comfort of their own home, making the process more convenient and flexible.
Great question.
If you're looking for an advisor focused on frequent stock trading or trying to predict and time the markets, we may not be the right fit for you.
We believe markets—and the news of the day—are inherently unpredictable. Trying to forecast short-term market movements or interest rate changes is not a strategy we endorse.
Instead, we focus on what you can control: creating a reliable income stream, reducing taxes, making smarter investment choices, and optimizing your insurance coverage to help you achieve your financial goals.
We specialize in retirement planning, with a focus on ensuring you have the financial resources to live the lifestyle you desire, for as long as you need.
To provide the highest level of personalized service, we intentionally limit the number of clients we work with, ensuring dedicated attention and thorough planning.
We are strong advocates for technology and invest in it heavily, using it to streamline and simplify the retirement planning process.
