Harvest Wealth Management for Life®

As a multigenerational family team of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™, The Harvest Group is dedicated to working with individuals and families to help them achieve their financial objectives. We provide individuals, families, and family businesses comprehensive, personalized wealth management solutions which we call Harvest Wealth Management for Life™.

Industry statistics indicate that while nearly all Financial Advisors provide investment management services, only 7% offer ongoing assistance with the planning and management of the non-investment parts of your financial life. 

According to a Vanguard study, fiduciary financial advisors save their clients 3% in annualized returns. They do this by properly allocating assets, regularly rebalancing portfolios, identifying cost-effective investment opportunities, preventing bad financial behavior, and enforcing disciplined spending strategies. It’s possible to do this without an advisor, but unlikely. LINK TO VANGUARD STUDY
