In Los Angeles, July 2007, Timothy J. Collins, CLU®, ChFC®, earned the Chartered Financial consultant (ChFC) professional designation from The American College, Bryn Mawr, PA.

Candidates for the ChFC® program focus on a complete financial planning process as an organized way to collect and analyze information on a client's total financial situation. ChFCs can identify and establish specific financial goals and then formulate, implement, and monitor a comprehensive plan to achieve those goals. Individuals who earn a ChFC® provide advice on a broad range of financial topics including: financial planning, wealth accumulation and estate planning, income taxation^, life and health insurance, business taxation^ and planning, investment and retirement planning.

As part of his ongoing effort to add value for his clients, Tim is certified to offer a unique educational approach to retirement planning called the Macro Asset Perspective^®.

Whatever stage of life you are in, whether you are working to grow your assets or your assets are working to provide your retirement income, you are likely to glean value from the principles, processes and strategies found in the Macro Asset Perspective^®.

The Macro Asset Perspective^® is a balanced approach to your personal accumulation and income. MAP combines time-tested principles of risk management with sensible strategies for long-term tax-reduction giving you the potential to increase your net spendable income in retirement.

While this process was originally developed for a physician’s network on the west coast and high-tech engineers in the Silicon Valley, it has been successfully adopted by people of all walks of life and taught at workshops for employees at a number of Fortune 500 companies.
