I’ve been serving my clients for over 15 years. During that time, I developed a passion for helping individuals who are approaching or in retirement. The most common concerns I hear are “how much money do I need to retire?” and “will I outlive my savings?” Through retirement planning, I can provide the guidance, tools, and services to help address those concerns. Before retirement, building wealth is important by balancing savings with other goals. At retirement, creating and managing a portfolio to generate income and protect your savings is key.If you'd like to learn more about retirement and estate planning, please contact me at (865) 470-8444 or mtsmith@hilliard.com.I hold the Chartered Wealth Advisor® (CWA®) designation, which is awarded only to Hilliard Lyons Financial Consultants who have completed an extensive program concerning the varied aspects of wealth management.
