Managing Tomorrow’s Uncertainties Today!
Investment Management
We’ve been conditioned to believe that almost anything can be accomplished through effort and hard work. That may be true, but trying to outsmart the market isn’t one of those things. Because of the size of the market and the number of highly skilled investment professionals competing in the market, it’s impractical to think it’s possible to outsmart the market, and there’s overwhelming evidence to support that it’s not only impractical but also counterproductive. By harnessing the market’s power, we put its collective knowledge to work for us instead of against us.

Rollovers & Transfers - Let Us Help!
Rollovers
A Rollover may be possible if you have left your employer for retirement or other reasons. We can help manage any employer retirement account that you would like to rollover into an IRA (deductible or non-deductible), including:
401K
403B
457B
ESOP
If keeping your account at your former employer is permitted, the following questions should be answered:
a) What total costs do you pay for your account in your former employer's retirement plan? These costs include investment (retail funds) costs, management costs, transaction costs, and any other fees that are being charged directly or indirectly to you.
b) Does the current asset allocation in your retirement plan reflect your unique financial situation?
c) Do you have access to a source of financial knowledge that can help you make better-informed decisions in your retirement?
Transfers
Whether due to changing employers or choosing different investment opportunities, it's not uncommon to have accumulated several investments by the time one retires. While having many types of investments may be a positive accomplishment, examining whether there's a more efficient way to consolidate your investments can be beneficial. This approach can help avoid a record-keeping nightmare and provide clarity on your overall asset allocations, costs, and risks. Some potential advantages to consolidating your retirement accounts with Carr Wealth Management, LLC, are:
Uniform your investment strategy by clearly identifying how your objectives and goals match your investments and risk tolerance.
Consolidate your accounts as much as possible to save time and costs.
Please take advantage of the lower costs provided by our competitive low-cost investment vehicles and fee-only cost structure.
Available Investments
Equities
Companies seek funds by issuing shares of stock that represent ownership. The stock investor is expecting corporations to sustain long-term earnings growth. Proper diversification among equities would include domestic, international, and emerging markets.
Bonds
Companies and Government Entities borrow money in the capital markets. The bond investor is essentially lending funds to these borrowers. The amount received as interest will depend on the issuer’s credit quality and the length of the debt (maturity).
REITS
Publicly owned real estate allows individual investors to gain broad diversification to the asset class of real estate without the major expenditure of capital - or any of the headaches of being a landlord which private ownership requires.
Alternative Investments
We offer various alternative public investments that may be appropriate depending on each investor’s financial situation. The diversification benefit, low expenses, and the risk/return tradeoff can be attractive with some investments such as commodities (including gold), fixed non-commissioned annuities, and other investments.
** Investments involve risks. The investment return and principal value of an investment may fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original value.
All offered investments are listed on nationally regulated public exchanges—NYSE, AMEX, and Nasdaq.
