Professional Approach

I concentrate on retirement planning for individuals - families and working as a consultant of employer sponsored retirement plans of small and medium size businesses. I address all aspects of retirement concerns from investment management to minimizing taxes to long-term care. My goal is to help people move forward with confidence, peace of mind, and a clear understanding of their choices. In every situation your best interest comes first, as I am an independent advisor and a fiduciary.

I am a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor (CPFA™) and a Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) which was earned with the joint support of the Wharton School of Business (University of Pennsylvania) and the Investment and Wealth Institute (IWI). CIMA® is an international certification that signifies that I have met initial and ongoing experience, ethical, education, and examination requirements for investment management consulting. Both designations testify to my dedication to the highest possible standards of professional excellence and integrity. In addition, I hold degrees in Finance, Public Accounting, and Marketing from the Universidad de San Andres and Universidad Argentina de la Empresa; Series 7 and 66 Securities Licenses; insurance licenses in FL, MA, and NH; and Investments and Advisory Services license in NY.

Problem-solving, explaining complex topics in everyday language and kindness are some of my strengths. In addition, I possess a passion for the financial services profession and entrepreneurial spirit. Those personality traits and skills make me a solid partner that will work hard to help you reach your maximum potential. Outside of work hours you will find me in the outdoors skiing, biking, kayaking, and playing sports of any kind with family and friends.

Let’s be honest. Does thinking about retirement fill you with a sense of excitement, mixed with more than a little worry? So many decisions to make and each one will have an impact on your in retirement. If you are ready to trade anxiety for answers and a plan for your future, let’s have a conversation and get to know each other. Please call (781) 577-9072 or send me an email to galberto@lpl.com with your questions.
