- The firm only invests
in high-quality mutual funds. Its investment philosopy is to diversify
asset classes by utilizing portfolios of no-load mutual funds which
reflect the client's risk tolerance, season of life, tax position
and financial circumstances.
- The firm's approach
to investing is "time in the market" rather than timing the market.
All research shows that the people who do the best are the ones
who buy and hold investments. BCS Financial follows that philosophy
and since the firm is a "fee-only" money manager, it gets paid the
same whether the client has one trade or 100.
- The firm practices
timely and continual contact with the client. Through its analysis
and quarterly reports, BCS Financial will periodically balance the
client's account between equity and fixed income investments in
relation to the client's goals and objectives.
- The firm uses a team
approach by incorporating its talents with Blackburn, Childers &
Steagall and by selecting Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as the
primary custodian for managed assets. Clients can experience "One-Stop
Financial Shopping" at BCS Financial and Blackburn, Childers
& Steagall. With these two firms, one can find tax planning
and preparation, money management, and financial planning under
one roof.
- The firm incorporates
the client's estate planning it is recommendations. BCS Financial
will construct a portfolio looking at current and future generations.
The estate plan must be considered in the construction of a portfolio.
- BCS Financial attends
to the client's tax bracket. Tax brackets can adversely impact total
return. The firm takes that into consideration and uses tax-managed
portfolios whenever possible to maximize the client's total return.

the client's financial planning needs. The expertise offered by
the firm's financial planners is outstanding. These individuals
developed PFP Notebook, financial planning software endorsed and
