What is Guided Wealth Advising?

Guided Wealth Advising combines personalized guidance from a financial advisor with the ease of an automated, digital investment platform.  You will enjoy the convenience of a fully automated online investment experience backed by the ability to engage Buchanan Wealth’s full range of services and expertise as your needs become more complex. 

Guided Wealth Portfolio (GWP) is an investment option that provides a diversified portfolio matching your risk preferences. Our GWP tool helps you work toward your unique financial goals with a personalized investing plan. You’ll enjoy the ease and convenience of online account opening and management, automatic rebalancing, and tax-efficient asset placement.

It's easy to get started! If you are age 60 or younger and have at least $5,000 ready to invest, you can choose to enroll in GWP. You can receive your free personal investing plan by providing some information about yourself to see what Guided Wealth Advising with GWP recommends. We’ll implement your personal investment plan for less than you’d pay for traditional advisory services.

   To get started, we’ll need some information about you: your age, risk tolerance, current investments and savings.
   
   
2. Review Your Personalized Investing Plan

Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP) is a centrally managed, algorithm-based, investment program sponsored by LPL Financial LLC (LPL). GWP uses proprietary, automated, computer algorithms of FutureAdvisor to generate investment recommendations based upon model portfolios constructed by LPL. FutureAdvisor and LPL are nonaffiliated entities. If you are receiving advisory services in GWP from a separately registered investment advisor firm other than LPL or FutureAdvisor, LPL and FutureAdvisor are not affiliates of such advisor. Both LPL and FutureAdvisor are investment advisors registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and LPL is also a Member FINRA/SIPC.

Rebalancing a portfolio may cause investors to incur tax liabilities and/or transaction costs and does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.

LPL Financial does not provide tax advice. Clients should consult with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing.
