We are proud to announce that Gerry Barrasso, CPA, CFP®, founder and president of United Financial Planning Group, has been prominently featured in GOBankingRates‘ recent article, “5 Strategies High-Net-Worth Families Use to Build Generational Wealth,” .
In this insightful piece, Gerry emphasizes the critical importance of obtaining unbiased financial advice, especially when it comes to life insurance decisions. He advises:
“Ask your fiduciary advisor if you need life insurance. If you do, have them recommend an insurance agent and make sure they aren’t collecting commissions off the back end. An easy way to do this is to work with a fee-only advisor.”
This recommendation underscores Gerry’s commitment to transparent, client-centered financial planning. By advocating for fee-only advisory services, he highlights the necessity of eliminating potential conflicts of interest—ensuring clients receive advice that is truly in their best interest.
The GOBankingRates article explores several key strategies used by high-net-worth families to build and preserve generational wealth:
- Educating Future Generations: Prioritizing financial literacy to empower heirs with the knowledge to manage and grow their inheritance responsibly.
- Disciplined Investing: Adopting long-term, purpose-driven investment strategies focused on income generation and tax efficiency.
- Building a Collaborative Financial Team: Assembling a team of professionals—including financial planners, tax strategists, estate attorneys, and investment specialists—to ensure comprehensive and cohesive wealth management.
- Utilizing Advanced Wealth Transfer Strategies: Implementing tools such as trusts and strategic gifting to minimize estate taxes and protect assets for future generations.
