Daniel A. Jacobius, CFP®, LUTCF, CLTC

Financial Advisor

 Hello, I’m Daniel A. Jacobius, known to many as “Dan J”!

 

Reliable, trustworthy, competent, and conscientious; these are some of the words that people use to describe me. But I think of myself as just someone who finds it incredibly rewarding to help people live quality lives by having better control over their current and future financial needs.

 

My knowledge of the instruments of insurance and retirement planning and my pursuit of the highest level of service allows me to offer a unique combination of expertise and integrity to my clients. It is that combination that has enabled me to build a solid clientele at MetLife for over 20 years. As a matter of fact, I am still working with most of my very first clients!

 

I believe that most people want someone who can provide them with insurance, investments and/or a retirement plan that is designed specifically for their needs and which they can easily understand and maintain. I work very, very hard to deliver that promise.

 

I consider myself to be part of a team whose goal is to help my clients’ meet their current financial objectives and needs (home ownership, debt repayment, health expenses and education needs) and to also carefully plan for their future (long term care, retirement and estate conservation strategies).

 

My areas of focus are:

  • Retirement Planning
  • Insurance
  • Estate Analysis
  • Long Term Care 
  • and…explaining all of it in a way that makes sense!

 

If you are already one of my clients, please check out some of the great tools that MetLife provides on this website, such as access to your accounts and financial “calculators” designed help you estimate answers to common financial questions such as How much retirement income will you need? Should you refinance your mortgage?  How much life insurance is enough?  What type of IRA is right for you? And more.

 

If you are looking for a Financial Advisor, please give me a call. There is no charge for an initial consultation.  I’d love to meet you!

Finding a Good Time to Invest

When a prominent stock market index closes above an important threshold, many investors who have been sitting on the sidelines may see it as good time to invest, but they may have missed a significant part of the rally. Waiting for the "right" moment to invest could prove to be a costly and ineffective strategy.

Favorable Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Rates Extended—for Now

The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the 15% maximum tax rates on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains through December 31, 2012. But without further legislation, dividends will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates and capital gains tax rates will return to 20% (23.8% for investors in the two highest tax brackets) in 2013.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

HOT TOPIC: European News Causes Market Mood Swings

In recent weeks, the yields on Italian bonds spiked to more than 7%, suggesting the sovereign debt crisis was spreading to a much larger economy and eluding the European Union’s efforts to contain it. The U.S. stock and bond markets have responded to the headlines coming out of Europe. This article explores the role of political risk in U.S. financial market volatility.
