By managing asset location within your portfolio, we help you keep as much of your wealth as possible – even after the tax man takes his cut. Given how deep that cut can be, it’s another way we add value to your total experience as an investor.

Posted by David Plaisance on Wed, Apr 10, 2013 @ 09:50 AM
A prudent investor is an investor that challenges what is normal in the investing world in which we currently live. Unlike the prudent investor, the average investor lets emotion get the best of him or herself and this can cause returns to be catastrophically low over time (which typically results in this investor not being adequately prepared for retirement).

The Prudent Investor, disc golf and apple cider.
Posted by Benjamin Coakley on Thu, Nov 15, 2012 @ 07:36 PM
The advisors at Waypoint enjoy living active lives and like to experience the outdoors. Two advisors, in particular, love to play disc golf (frisbee golf). They have travelled all over the southeast, braving all forms of inclement weather, to play disc golf. On one trip to a course in North Carolina, one of the advisors asked the other what life after Waypoint would look like for them. The advisor answered that he would love to travel to all parts of the world and play disc golf. Then that advisor returned the favor and asked the other advisor about life after Waypoint. He said that he would love to sit on his back porch drinking warm apple cider and watch the moon rise over the mountains. Then the discussion turned to how would each of them accomplish these visions for life after pharmacy.
