Having a defined process will improve and enhance what you accumulate

HighTower Podcast: Collective Wisdom

Ray Baraldi of Sarian Strategic partners and Richard Flahive of HighTower Westchester discussed the 'accumulation phase' of every saver/investor's lifetime and how gathering, gaining and controlling assets is better and easier with a defined process, rather than some vague make-as-much-as-you-can idea. Baraldi noted that planning helps to eliminate stress and uncertainty that makes investors uncomfortable; Flahive added that planning -- especially for items that most investors overlook, such as taxes -- helps to maximize accumulation opportunities.
