Living well in the future relies on planning well today—
and planning well begins with the professionals at Janney
Montgomery Scott.
We consider your entire financial picture, not just a part
of it. Your life consists of stages. We see it—and help you
plan for it—as a continuous timeline. Most importantly,
we view you in your entirety: as a person and as a
professional, as an investor and as an individual.
When does financial planning begin? It can be as soon
as when you start your first job, have your first child,
transition careers or at any moment when you begin
planning for the future. As your life changes and you
move from one stage to another, we can help you
reevaluate your plan to meet those changes and the
needs they create.
Whatever is important to you is important to your financial plan—your family, home, children’s educa-tion, job and more. Understanding your finances is one part of the financial planning process. Under-standing you is the most crucial. We take into
consideration all of the aspects of your life to help you effectively plan to meet current needs while staying focused on your future objectives.
Our process has many steps, but its foundation is simple: A strong
• relationship between us, built on mutual
understanding and agreement A
• comprehensive approach that uses in-depth
analysis of each area of your life to tailor a plan to your needs
An
• implementation strategy to ensure that your
needs and wishes are carried out with the sufficient and appropriate actions and investment vehicles

Financial Planning—Five Steps To Your Future
janney’s five-step process allows us to help you express your needs so we can best address them together. Research
The first step in setting the course to your financial future is to help you identify and prioritize your goals, both short- and long-term. We also consider a num-ber of other factors, such as investment time horizon and risk tolerance. Next, we help you take an ‘inven-tory’ of your financial resources, including all of your assets, liabilities, sources of income and other perti-nent financial items.
Your goals may include: Preparing for retirement
• Education planning • Wealth accumulation • Wealth preservation • analysis
With your goals in hand, we can analyze and evaluate your current financial resources and situation, such as investment cash flow, net worth, insurance policies and tax projections. We will use this information to determine any areas at issue or of concern, identify opportunities and develop a plan to help you reach your goals.
Our assessment incorporates your future income and investment needs while seeking to potentially reduce your exposure to risk and the impact of taxation. We can assist with, among others, the following areas:
Investments
•
Retirement income planning
• Retirement planning • Employee benefits • Estate planning • Insurance •
Special needs, such as caring for a parent or a
•
child’s educational needs
Recommendations
After we identify and evaluate your current financial situation, we then design a plan for you that will include a number of specific recommendations, along with prudent alternatives and their benefits and risks. Our aim is to create a plan that is posi-tioned to achieve your objectives with the least amount of potential risk associated with the markets, liabilities and taxes.
implementation
Once agreed upon by you, we will coordinate and implement the financial plan. Implementation can involve a variety of actions depending on the scope and complexity of your plan and may require that you reposition assets, implement certain charitable giving strategies, create trusts or even a foundation to accom-plish your estate planning goals. Adjustments are made only after consultation with you, to ensure that we keep in line with your needs and objectives.
We can suggest we work closely with your existing network of other professionals (or make recommenda-tions, should you need them), including attorneys and accountants, who can assist with the implementation of your plan. This coordination helps to ensure that all documents, services and products related to your plan will be consistent with your objectives and goals.
managing and monitoring
Some questions to consider…
The financial planning process begins with uncover-ing and understanduncover-ing your needs and goals. Before we ‘get down to numbers,’ it is essential that we ‘get down to basics,’ learning who you are as an individual and as an investor. Most importantly, we want you to understand yourself in those regards. To help you begin that process, it is often helpful to ask yourself the following questions.
ask yourself…
What do I want to accomplish today?
•
Ten years from now? Twenty years from now?
What are my interests and passions in life?
•
My family’s?
What is the greatest hope for me?
•
My family?
What are my financial goals for me?
•
My family?
What are my financial concerns?
•
My family’s?
Are there any forseeable issues which could affect
•
achieving my goals? When do I plan to retire?
•
How do I ensure that my assets will be preserved for
•
me—and my loved ones?
By considering these questions, you will develop the answers that, ultimately, will help us help you address the present and prepare for the future.
