At FDR Financial Group, we define our role as advocates and advisors on behalf of individuals, businesses and families who require highly specialized financial and advisory services. Our goal is to help them increase value and decrease risk.
FDR Financial Group is an organization of financial resource management professionals who apply their diverse experience to assist clients in formulating and implementing strategies for wealth accumulation and wealth preservation. FDR Financial Group utilizes a team approach that takes advantage of the synergistic results produced by combining several disciplines. We believe this approach provides for more comprehensive planning then otherwise available.
Throughout America's history, only families of high net worth have been afforded the opportunity to utilize and entrust private companies with sophisticated financial advisors to manage their substantial assets. Doing so helped ensure that all activities would be aligned with their families' interests. FDR Financial Group has adopted and adapted this concept for successful professionals who are in need of highly specialized financial and advisory services. Operating on the same principles of integrity, transparency, independence, and objectivity, our goal is to provide individualized strategies for all clients seeking wealth accumulation, wealth preservation, income distribution, and wealth transfer.
Proper Alignment
Far too often, an individual's finances are managed by a myriad of advisors who do not communicate with each other or collaborate towards a common goal and strategy. At FDR Financial Group, our team will organize a client's assets with a customized portfolio, coordinate and work in partnership with their advisors (but not substituting those individuals), and develop a plan for the present and the future. We constantly monitor this plan to ensure that any changes in the lives of our clients or in the financial market are appropriately accounted for.
Individualized Solutions
FDR Financial Group is fully aligned with its clients. We are not confined or restricted in our thought and creativity, allowing us the freedom and flexibility to provide products and solutions which are truly in the interest of our clients, not the companies who provide them.

Meanwhile, we coordinate with the client's legal and financial advisors to complete documentation of the plan and define the administration procedures for the next phase.
3. Management Phase
Once decision consensus has been reached, the plan moves into the Management phase. That's when we secure the necessary service agreements to monitor the results of the plan and respond to ongoing needs. We want you to feel assured that we sit on your side of the table for the long term.
The Decision Process begins with the right questions.

*In a Life settlement transaction the seller receives a lump sum payment from the purchaser of a life settlement--typically for more than the policy's cash surrender value but less than the net death benefit. As opposed to life insurance surrenders, they may take weeks or longer to complete.
Please note that the number of bidders for a policy may be limited; proceeds from sales of similar policies may vary and may be subject to claims of creditors. Receipt of proceeds may impact eligibility for government benefits and entitlements. Prior to sale, the insured should consider the continued need for coverage, impact to estate plans, availability of insurance, cost of comparable coverage, and tax implications. There may be high fees associated with the sale of a life settlement and your personal medical information may be disclosed to 3rd parties. Please consult an appropriate professional regarding your individual circumstances.
