Financial Strategies - Retirement Income Planning - Investments - Insurance

Colin D. Murray, Principal

Murray Wealth Strategies LLC was founded on three essential ideas:

(1) That real wealth – an income one doesn’t outlive and a significant legacy to one’s heirs – can only be built and preserved through a program of lifetime investing.

(2) That the achievement of real wealth is not driven by investment "performance", but by investor behavior – which is primarily a function of making a lifetime plan and sticking to it.

(3) That, in practice, no one will ever be able to resist the behavioral traps of investing without the empathetic but tough-loving counsel of a high quality financial professional, whose functions aren’t prediction and "performance," but planning, perspective and behavior modification. Thus, the most valuable function of a financial professional is to guide clients to help them avoid making mistakes that disrupt their lifetime plan.

Insurance for Two Could Benefit Your Heirs

Survivorship life insurance offers a way to help a couple's heirs pay estate taxes, probate costs, and other final expenses — and could be especially important after 2012 when the federal estate tax is scheduled to be significantly higher. Even if the estate tax doesn't apply to an estate, the insurance proceeds could benefit heirs or a favorite charity.

Understanding the Appeal of Share Buybacks

The amount of money devoted to corporate stock buybacks surged throughout 2010 and 2011 as large companies sought ways to spend their cash stockpiles and reward shareholders.
