Our Philosophy at Rauschenberger Financial Advisors:
- We always act with honesty and integrity.
- Our client’s interests always come first.
- We pursue long- term relationships based on trust and open communication.
- Client education and involvement are critical to our joint success.
- We never stop learning.
- While we are in business to make a comfortable living, we are committed to providing affordable and accessible advice for our clients.
- Often, the simplest advice is the best. If we cannot understand a product/structure or explain it to our clients, we will not recommend it.
- One of the most important keys to long-term financial success for our clients is to minimize costs, fees, and taxes.
- While it is best to start planning early in life, it is never too late.
- If it sounds to-good-to-be-true, it is. Return reflects risk.
- From an investment perspective, the firm pursues a long-term, disciplined buy-and-hold investment strategy that emphasizes passive versus active investments, seeks broad diversification, minimizes costs and pursues regular rebalancing based upon the client’s optimal asset allocation.
- We have been fortunate in life so we will give back to our community
