Investment Services

To attain financial wellness, members need to save and invest over a long period of time. Investing is a way to set aside money and have that money work for you so that you can enjoy it in the future or leave it as a legacy. As an investor, you have a lot of options for where to put your money. It’s important to weigh types of investments carefully. Investments are generally bucketed into three major categories: stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents. There are many different types of investments within each bucket. Each with its own investment characteristics which, when applied individually, may not be appropriate for your financial profile; however, when they are strategically combined in a portfolio, they can work in concert to address your investment objectives within your risk parameters. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced investor, First Responders Group is here to help you set up a comprehensive financial plan that is right for you.
