We have found that most individuals do not have an investment and retirement income plan to achieve specific life goals. They simply try to grow their investment and retirement income portfolio over time.

At Green Pastures, we utilize a Goals Based Approach to investment and retirement income planning with the objective of helping you attain specific life goals, such as:
(1) building your investments to a desired retirement nest egg amount by a certain age,
(2) creating your retirement income plan to make an envisioned retirement lifestyle a reality, or
(3) leaving a legacy to your loved ones.

A Goals Based Approach helps you eliminate emotion-based investment decisions and performance chasing and motivates you to stick with a plan to achieve measurable and realistically attainable life goals.

A Focus On Risk Management

By reducing the upward-and-downward volatility in the value of your investment and retirement income portfolio, we create more stable returns. More stable returns typically translates into lowering your stress level. A lower stress level typically translates into producing better long-term investment results because it makes it easier for you to stick with a long term plan and enjoy success.

That is why so much of what we do focuses on reducing risk in your portfolio.

Simplify Investing And Simplify Life

How We Invest

Investors oftentimes build their investment and retirement income portfolios with only one goal in mind - to maximize returns. In doing so, they may take on far more risk than they had intended, and suffer significant losses during bear markets and bull market corrections.

Unexpected Risk

Is The Number One Reason An Investor Abandons His Or Her Investment Plan

And Fails To Achieve His or Her Financial Goals

We Help You Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

While individuals need good advice, it is human nature to want advice that sounds good.

Investment journalism is dedicated to "emotional marketing", pitching you on whatever is "hot" at the moment, to motivate you to chase returns and make those transactions and commissions flow.

However, emotion-based investing and performance chasing are not investment plans. They are often recipes for disaster, buying high, then selling low, based on fear of missing out (FOMO) during bull markets and bear market rallies.

Warren Buffett once famously said “One of the primary purposes of stock market forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good.” And there is often a big difference between the sales pitch and reality.

Implementing and maintaining a goals based investment and retirement income plan does not have to be an overwhelming and complicated process. With a little discipline, you can enjoy long-lasting results.

Oftentimes, it simply comes down to you determining:
(1) your long-term investment and retirement income life goals,
(2) a realistic investment time horizon that gives your plan time to work out,
(3) what return on investment (and additional investments) is needed to get you there,
(4) a risk attitude assessment that determines both your risk capacity and your risk tolerance, and
(5) good investment management and retirement income strategies,
(6) a budget,
(7) estimated future inflation and cost of living adjustments, and
(8) estimated taxes.

And we have found that most investors do not need professional planners who lock them into expensive and/or complicated investment services, strategies and investments that:
(1) are too difficult to understand,
(2) have a high commission/fee structure,
(3) lack transparency,
(4) are illiquid, and/or
(5) cost a lot of money to liquidate.

Our objective is to help you achieve your long-term investment and retirement income life goals, but most importantly, at a risk level you are comfortable with. We will help you put together an investment and retirement income portfolio to do just that, and you can easily track and monitor your progress along the way.
