Jim Lineweaver, CFP®, AIF®, featured in Top 100 in Finance Magazine

We are humbled and excited to share that Founder and President of Lineweaver Financial Group, Inc., Jim Lineweaver, CFP®, AIF®, was recently featured in the Top 100 in Finance Magazine, entering him into a class of some of the most accomplished and esteemed professionals in the financial industry.

While this is a great milestone, we know that there are really two reasons for it: a great staff and client trust. Our talented staff works hard and goes the extra mile for clients, and in turn, clients trust us, use us as a valued sounding board, and introduce us to their families and friends. To us, there is no higher recognition.

We also believe in personal service. We know how frustrated people are with phone trees and digital assistants where they have to answer questions and are often transferred and re-routed. We live in a fast-paced world that requires cutting-edge technology and the latest market analysis to make smart, informed decisions for all our clients. But, when it comes to service, we believe in a personal touch. You’ll always speak with a person, and we pride ourselves on getting you answers to your questions in 24 hours or less.

For 30 years, our team of qualified, experienced, and credentialed professionals has provided our private and corporate clients with a plethora of options for their financial needs. Our success lies in our continued commitment to providing clients with sound advice, world-class customer service, and accessible resources for their current needs and future aspirations.

We believe that everyone needs a Financial Quarterback – an experienced and knowledgeable advisor to coordinate the members of your team, and to help make sure your customized financial plan is considered from every angle. Our clients have access to world-class professionals that can help them with any financial, tax, legal, or insurance needs.

We understand the fast-paced world we live in, and every day our team continues to grow and learn to be able to perform at their very best. We are excited about our continuing duty to provide for our clients. We’re extremely grateful to our wonderful clients and our dedicated staff for this important recognition.

Ask These Four Questions When Planning Your Legacy

October 17, 2024 Category: Legacy Planning, Inheritance, Beneficiary, Wealth Transfer

While many people equate legacy planning with estate planning, they are not the same. Estate planning is a component, but legacy planning involves more than simply deciding who inherits your assets—it's about ensuring your wealth is passed down efficiently and according to your wishes. To help you get started, here are four essential questions to ask when preparing your finances to pass to your loved ones. 1. Is Your Beneficiary Information Up-to-Date? Every financial account you own—from retirement accounts to life insurance policies—requires a beneficiary designation. This can include primary and secondary beneficiaries, and you may even have multiple beneficiaries per account. It’s vital to review this information annually to ensure its accurate and reflects your current wishes. Ask yourself: Have there been any life changes, such as a marriage, divorce, or birth, that might affect your choices? Is the contact information, including addresses and phone numbers, up to date? It’s also wise to have a conversation with your beneficiaries so they understand what to expect. Additionally, consider assigning a Financial Power of Attorney for each of your accounts, and discuss the responsibility with that individual to make the process as seamless as possible in the event of your passing. 2. Are Your Beneficiaries Aligned with Your Wealth Transfer Strategy? Our beneficiaries are often family members—children, grandchildren, ni

Market Commentary

We have been highly constructive on U.S. large-cap stocks in our investment strategies since October 2023. We remain optimistic generally into 2025, but as we enter fall, we think it is prudent to be slightly more cautious as some facts have changed over the last several weeks. First, our analysis of earnings surprises and estimate revisions has detected some cooling trends, suggesting potential moderation of the earnings advantages that catalyzed much of the rally this year so far. Our research also reveals the autumn period in October through mid-November in presidential election years has tended to be more volatile than usual, with increased vulnerability to downside moves. The elevated uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election adds additional complexity. Given the sharp divide in the parties’ expected policy and the expectations of a close race, many real economy actors are delaying major capital allocations and business-defining bets to after election night. In this state of uncertainty, any lack of market liquidity has the potential to trigger volatility. This may be compounded if the final outcome of the election is delayed, as we saw in 2020. Finally, recent changes in market temperament have also caught our attention and give us pause. Relatively tranquil gains in large-cap stocks for most of the year have been disrupted recently with larger single-day selloffs, rotations, and V-shaped snapbacks, which may be signs of a market more susceptible to headlin

This strategy could help your retirement portfolio

When you retire, it's normal to wonder if you'll have enough money to cover all your needs. This can be especially worrying when you're advised to focus on long-term investments to make sure you have enough money for the rest of your life. Don't worry, though - there are several strategies you can use, like the "Three Bucket Strategy," to help with this. With this strategy, you take your retirement portfolio and divide it into three buckets. The first is used to fund day-to-day expenses. The third bucket funds longevity. And the middle is the go-between or transfer place to refill bucket number one as it is depleted. Now, let’s break it down further and take a look at bucket one. In there, you’ll find income-producing assets that could include CDs, money market funds, US Treasuries, pensions, fixed annuity, and Social Security funds – all things that will not decrease in value and are accessible when needed. Basically, this bucket is meant to provide money to live. If you place an amount that will cover about two years of expenses in this bucket, you won’t have to be concerned if the economy or investment markets take a dip. But what if you want to plan for longevity? That’s where bucket three comes in. In this bucket, you will find stocks, high-yield bonds, real estate, and other higher-return assets. All of these are long-term investments geared toward helping you keep from running out of money as the years pass. Co
