Physician Wealth
Physician Wealth
Individuals & Multi-Generational Families
Medicine is a greater calling, requiring professional devotion and a rigorously trained skillset. We bring a corresponding approach to financial services through specialized advisory for attending physicians and those in residency. Physician Wealth builds on our comprehensive wealth planning and investment approach, tailoring services directly to the unique and pressing financial complexities faced by medical practitioners.
How Are Your Needs More Complex?
Significant & Varied Personal Liability
You incur substantial personal liability due to the nature of the profession. Asset protection requirements are subtantial.
Rapid Income Inflection
Income growth occurs quickly, leading to complexities in managing expenses, taxes, and excess savings.
Complex Tax Positions
Maximizing after-tax wealth can be particularly challenging given financial liabilities, income changes, and asset ownership.
Complicated Compensation & Benefits
Compensation and benefits packages are becoming increasingly complex. It is time consuming to understand your value in the marketplace and to fully review your compensation and benefits packages.
Late Start in Saving, Investing, & Family Planning
71% of practicing physicians are not confident in retirement since lengthy education requirements lead to limited savings and a late start in investing.1
Education & Personal Debt
Many physicians incur debt as a result of extensive education requirements. Carrying high debt balances can be financially and psychologically challenging.
Professional Stress & Burnout
80% of physicians say they are either at full capacity or overextended. Coupled with organizational pressures, patient concerns, and personal and family time, there are limited hours to focus on your financial matters.2
