Lifestyle & Planning

Invest with Understanding


The hallmark of Lincoln Financial Advisors and Sagemark Consulting is part of our unique, proprietary, financial planning process. As a people-focused firm, we provide a fully integrated and personalized approach to identifying solutions to produce a customized financial plan. 

Investments are essential – but they aren’t rocket science!  As a key component to your financial plan, it’s important that you actually understand what you are investing in, and why it’s the best choice.  Because we plan first and invest second, we’re able to tie the emotions to the math and put together a customized portfolio for each client.  We accomplish that by acting as your advocate in the investment marketplace, where we objectively evaluate what’s available, and ensure that we find the best fit for you.
