“We are the next generation of Investment and Planning firms. We do not adhere to doctrine that is 50 years old and does not apply in today’s world economy.”

There are some principals that are timeless. Slow and steady wins the race, a penny saved is a penny earned, safety first-returns later…among many others. We believe in learning from the past and continuing to make improvements for the future. With that being said, New South Financial Group understands the stock market is not the only avenue to gain wealth. A well-rounded investment strategy coupled with solid insurance planning will create a prosperous and secure future.

The staff at New South Financial Group believe that an investment strategy should be a well-diversified combination of vehicles that include fixed instruments, cash value life insurance, bonds, precious metals, equities, real estate and other strategies. A major concern for investors seeking guidance is that too many investment advisors are entirely focused on the markets. Let’s examine what the market has done in just the last nine years.

The truth is the stock market is more volatile now more than ever. We have seen huge swings in the Dow Jones Industrial Average that are just unpredictable and quite frankly, a nightmare for investment professionals. Case in point, the Dow Jones Industrial Average on January 3, 2006 closed at 10,959, on October 8, 2007, 14,093, and on March 6, 2009 the market dropped all the way down to 6,626. Today, the DJIA has continued to stay above 17,000 for several months. These massive changes in the stock market have all occurred in less than a decade. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Take the time and call for a free consultation. We think you will be pleasantly surprised.
