Retirement Planning

Planning for the future you always wanted - starting today

Life’s a journey; one with many twists and turns along the way. One day you’re graduating college, the next you’re leaving work behind for a new adventure. The question is: How ready are you to navigate your journey to retirement? Do you know what it takes to manage your money and help it last as long as you need it to? We do. And, we know it’s never too early to start planning for the future you imagine.

No matter what stage of life you’re in, we can help you pursue independence, freedom and the things that matter most to you. Your journey begins now. Let us help you get on your way.

College Funding

A higher purpose, a brighter future

You believe in the value of quality education. So do we. And we understand that the costs can be intimidating, maybe even seem out of reach, for many families. The good news is that there are a variety of investment vehicles to help bring higher education within reach – for a child, grandchild or even yourself. And although it is best to start the college investment process when your child is young, it is never too late to begin.

No matter your child’s age, what’s important is that you plan now. That’s where we can help.

Estate Planning

Creating your legacy and leaving your mark.

One of the greatest rewards of wealth is being able to share it with others. You’ve taken care of your own needs and wants, but it takes prudence and planning to make sure your loved ones and favorite charities last for generations. Having an estate plan to control the distribution of your assets benefits you, your family and the causes you care about and can help you mitigate potential pitfalls in the future.

We have the resources to customize a plan that not only protects your assets but also helps you share your wealth with the people and charities you care about most.

Goal Directed Planning

Any major life change – even a positive one – comes with its share of stress.

Regardless of the reasons, think about what direction you want (or need) to go in before you make a major decision that will affect you, your family and your financial future.

We can serve as a sounding board when considering your options and offer financial advice throughout the transition.

Investment Products

Every investment involves some risk, but the key is whether you’re willing to take on the risk for the potential reward. That’s where proper asset allocation, finding the right balance of investment strategies, comes in. Your particular mix should balance risk with reward in an effort to help you reach your goals.

By regularly monitoring and reviewing your portfolio, we can ensure you have the right balance of investments with the potential to help generate the returns you want and provide the protection you need for where you are in life.

Retirement

This April, Beth and I celebrated 19 years right here at Hearthside Bank. What a wonderful partnership it has been. We came to Middleboro in April of 2004 and made this place home. The most rewarding aspect of our practice has been our relationships with people like you.

Because we have such deep respect for our clients, Beth and I want you to know of our plans to retire on December 31, 2023. We have loved being your financial advisors, so while we are ready for a new phase in our lives, we also find it difficult to make this decision. Our children live in other states and we want to be able to visit them more, while we can.

We have been searching for a new partner for our business who would share our values and would appreciate our clients as we do. We believe we have found that person. His name is Robert (Bob) Jones. Bob has been with Raymond James for over 20 years. He has a successful family practice that includes his children. We like the way Bob listens to people and helps them navigate the waters of their finances. You may have heard us say that we believe that our clients’ knowledge is a critical ingredient in the advisory relationship. Well, Bob shares that belief. He pays attention before offering advice. And while listening is critical to what we do, it is Bob’s compassion that stands out.

We began this partnership with Bob on April 1, 2023. During the coming weeks we will introduce you to him so that you might see in Bob what we see. Bob and I will both be listed as advisors on your accounts going forward. Thank you for your remarkable confidence in us over these years.

Sincerely,

John W. Parker
