Understanding Today’s Financial Environment
I’m David Cutshall, your financial professional in the Sioux Falls and Brookings, SD area. With most things in life, the key to achieving your long-term financial goals is planning. As a Registered Representative with 35 years of experience in financial services, I understand that individuals face unique challenges as they prepare for retirement. My specialty is ensuring that you never run out of money in your retirement years. I’m here to help you identify your financial needs and determine which financial products will meet your objectives.
Your purpose may be a secure retirement, funding your children’s college education, or protecting your family during the working years. You can benefit from my experience and knowledge to help your short or long term goals be realized.
If you want safer assets than what is found in the stock market, we can discuss various fixed index annuities that can also have a future lifetime income approach, with no market risk. The key is to match what you want or need to the appropriate asset or investment.
Finding the right financial advisor can make a big difference to your financial future. I provide the personalized service only a small firm can deliver, addressing your needs of today and for many years to come. If you are just starting out or perhaps need a second opinion, I will have a private, confidential visit with you at no cost or obligation. I look forward to working with you through all stages of your life. Please call (605) 271-8293 or email me at david.cutshall@ceteraadvisors.com
