Mishawaka, IN Focus Areas:

A financial advisor is someone who builds a plan for using your wealth to meet your specific needs and goals for today and the future.

Financial advisors help guide decision-making with the primary aim of applying your finances and assets in effective ways. If you are seeking someone with experience to guide financial decisions that align with your life priorities, a financial advisor is a key professional to have working for you.

Working with a financial advisor will help you to identify the appropriate strategies and financial disciplines to implement for your needs. A financial advisor will use a well-established and proven process to build a financial plan that provides a roadmap to reaching your defined goals.

The SYM advisory team in Mishawaka takes a high-touch approach, striving to provide best-in-class service and thorough financial planning.

Do You Really Need A Financial Advisor?

Planning for your future and handling your finances should not be so burdensome that it takes time away from what is important to you.

Whether you need to make a significant financial decision, prepare for your child’s education, work toward retirement security, or plan your estate, financial advisors can help you immensely.

The prefix “SYM” means together. We at SYM Financial synchronize the various parts of your financial equation in an effort to bring together – and keep together – what is most important to you.

We take into consideration your financial and personal priorities and use our knowledge to save, protect and grow your finances.

Asking the Right Questions

Our SYM Financial Mishawaka teams are composed of advisors, financial planners, and support professionals empowered to deliver an uncommon level of personal service.

We consider all the important parts of the financial equation – your work, personal life, hobbies, lifestyle, and other priorities so we can build a holistic financial plan. We seek to answer your questions and also concern ourselves with the ones you may not know to ask about your financial equation.

Wealth Planning

Each person’s financial picture is unique. So, we make sure to produce personalized financial plans and strategies for our clients.

Significant events in life challenge one’s financial stance. Experiencing marriage, birth or adoption, job change, retirement, divorce or loss of a loved one – are good times to review the health of your financial plan.

Our financial advisors collaborate with you on tax planning, retirement planning, risk assessment and inheritance. They implement family and charitable giving, business succession, debt service, compensation analysis, education planning, elder care and other planning models that become relevant to your life.

Bringing Financial Clarity

A solid financial plan can bring financial clarity. Since an effective financial plan accounts for the funds you need to enjoy living now and also what you will need to accomplish future goals, it can take some uncertainty off your shoulders. SYM financial advisors do more than manage assets. Implementing financial strategies often involves proactively collaborating with other professional service providers to practively work towards your best interests and simplify financial tasks for you.

Comprehensive Financial Planning

You should feel comfortable enough with your financial advisor to let them know you well to be able to build accurate financial plans and strategies suited for your goals. Generic financial plans are not acceptable.

We work alongside clients to create a big-picture view of income, outflow, priorities, opportunities, and aspirations. Our financial advisors take the time to know you uncommonly well so that we can build an investment plan specifically applicable to you.

SYM financial advisors take the extra mile to get to know clients well – you will feel the difference. Since its founding in 1968, SYM’s business model and people-centered culture has provided clients with goal-based, realistic, and comprehensive financial planning services.

Short-term and Long term Goals

When things change, we work alongside you to help adjust your financial plan to fit your current life stage. Our team of Mishawaka financial planners and advisors work alongside you, as your financial resource to help you navigate the financial complexities you encounter.

Portfolio Management for You

SYM Financial is an independent firm not associated with any parent company. We act independently in our investment selection and are driven by what is in your best-interest (not outside custodial influences). Portfolio decisions are made at SYM on a measured, strategic basis by our Investment Committee using fundamental economic and financial market data, not emotions.

Client portfolios are consistently monitored to keep asset allocation on course, manage behavior gaps in returns, and rebalance to adhere to objectives. Whenever possible, SYM recommends investments which may be unavailable to retail investors or may be more expensive in retail channels. High investment expenses can erode investment returns. SYM’s goal is to identify low investment fees and we work to maximize net-after-tax investment returns within a client’s risk parameters.

Why Work with SYM?

We work from a business model that produces the best possible results for our clients. SYM is a fiduciary which means our financial advisors are bound to act in your best interest before anything else. SYM provides fee transparency. We want you to know what you are paying. No hidden commissions.

Service – Not Sales

SYM is a commission-free, independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). Unlike brokers or banks who are compensated by the sale of investment products, we prioritize high-quality, personalized service from our financial advisors. Our only motivation is to do and offer what’s best for your financial plan.

What are Registered Investment Advisors?

Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) have clear fee structures. SYM charges fees on a percentage of assets or a flat fee.

RIAs commit to a fiduciary standard that requires them to act in the client’s best interest. They must disclose to you if they take take commissions as it can conflict with that fiduciary oath. SYM does not take commissions.

What if things change?

The investment market can be unpredictable. SYM Financial acknowledges that when it comes to investments and wealth management, even the most well-laid plan may need adjustments over time.

We work to protect your finances and investments by striving to anticipate unplanned market events and developments. Financial advisors are responsible for ongoing and regular analysis of your financial plan to ensure that directives stay on track.
