We are Buckingham Strategic Wealth®, a growing organization of advisors, financial specialists and national thought leaders committed to delivering on the promise of true wealth management.

The essence of our approach is based on a pledge to act in our clients' best interests.

This means making recommendations based on what decades of peer-reviewed financial research has shown to be the right way to invest. It means getting to know our clients, their families, their goals and their most important dreams. It means crafting a plan that touches on – and improves – the most important aspects of their lives.

The cornerstone of our approach is our investment philosophy, which is built on a deep understanding of how to best capture the returns of the financial markets. Our approach is based on established facts and real evidence, not empty opinions or the media’s “flavor of the month” speculation.

Investment planning is, of course, just one part of the Buckingham experience. How do taxes impact our clients' savings? Do our clients have the right insurance? Do our clients have an estate plan? Are our clients taking on the right amount of risk?

As our clients' trusted advisor, these are the questions we help them answer. Our goal is to free our clients from worrying about the daily ups and downs of the market, so they can focus on the things that really matter.

With Tax Clarity®, you can provide tax alpha and quickly identify sub-optimal situations, showing clients how to make retirement decisions in the most tax-efficient way.
• SmartRisk - Clients are often blind to market risk and typically don’t have accurate downside expectations – either too conservative or too reckless, leading to sub-optimal investment allocations. With SmartRisk™, advisors can analyze portfolio risk and easily communicate with clients to help them avoid costly mistakes.
• Income InSight - Income InSight™ is all-in-one planning software that helps you provide clients with direct and specific answers to their most pressing questions through deep integrations with Social Security Timing, Tax Clarity, and SmartRisk while providing a natural transition to the broader retirement income plan.

Your expertise is advising your clients. It is not searching through thousands of offerings to find the right muni bonds.

What advisors may not understand is how easy it can be to provide customized individual municipal bonds, and their advantages within a brokerage, trust and other taxable accounts. They also do not typically realize the benefits of owning taxable municipal bonds in tax deferred accounts such as IRA’s and pensions. Trust a company who's been managing investments since 1890.

The Plumb Funds (Plumb Equity Fund (PBLEX) and Plumb Balanced Fund (PLBBX)) invest in companies we believe are innovators with the potential to disrupt entire sectors. We proudly follow the tradition of the Funds’ advisor, Wisconsin Capital Management, of striving to produce solid risk-adjusted returns by buying quality companies who are participating or supporting secular changes in the market.

We also seek out companies for both Funds that we believe are well-positioned to benefit from current market conditions with a goal of out-performing over the entire business cycle. We find them particularly attractive when they can be purchased at what we believe are depressed prices when compared to our estimates of value.

For the Plumb Balanced Fund, we believe that holding a diverse group of stocks moderated by an allocation to bonds as well holds the potential to provide competitive returns under different market environments. In seeking to achieve a better risk-adjusted return on its equity investments, the Fund invests in many types of stocks, including a blend of large, mid-sized and small company stocks. Our flexible approach to investing enables us to adapt to changing market trends and conditions and to invest where we believe opportunity exists.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in smaller companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.

Wisconsin Capital Management, the advisor to the funds, is a registered investment advisory firm in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 1984. Plumb Funds is a registered trademark of Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc.

Sound Income Strategies, LLC…The secret to a great retirement is our middle name!

David J. Scranton (CLU, ChFC, CFP, CFA, MSFS) is a nationally-renowned Money Manager, CEO, Founder, Bestselling Author, and host of his own television show, The Income Generation on Newsmax TV. In 2013, David anticipated a long-term trend of declining interest rates, and in 2014, he established Sound Income Strategies, LLC to help bring an important retirement message to the Baby Boomer generation: For retirees, investing should be all about Income.

Sound Income Strategies uses 5 specific management steps to establish “defensive” income-based financial strategies designed to help protect clients from dramatic stock market fluctuations and economic uncertainties. As a Registered Investment Advisory firm, we honor our fiduciary responsibility as spelled out in the U.S. Investment Advisors Act of 1940: to always act and serve in the best interest of our clients.

Total Return = Income + Growth is a well-known equation in the financial industry. When investing for income, “Total Return” stems from two components: Income PLUS Growth. It’s important to understand that the “Income” portion of Total Return comes in the form of both interest and dividends, while “Growth” is simply measured in terms of capital appreciation. When you invest for Income (I) instead of Growth (G), you’re typically using investment vehicles designed to significantly reduce volatility while generating a predictable amount of income. However, when you invest for Growth (G), the (G) can quickly turn into a Loss (L) if the stock market suffers a major downturn, such as in 2000 and 2007. We help you and your clients avoid such a pitfall.

David has now replicated his investment and business model for those advisors who want to take their practice to the next level. Franchise opportunities still exist in many areas of the country. Ask for your Retirement Income Store booklet on Franchise Benefits & Opportunities.

SQN Venture Partners was founded by entrepreneurs who understand the complexities of founding a company. We’ve taken our back-of-the-napkin business plans to successful exits and are dedicated to using our funds under management to do the same. SQN works closely with passionate entrepreneurs to creatively structure alternative forms of financing for achieving growth as a supplement to venture capital. Venture debt is the next logical layer of risk capital for the most promising companies that have been validated by recent rounds of venture capital investments. Our capital is generally used to purchase business-essential equipment, invest in key hires, finance working capital needs, or simply extend runway. Our version of venture lending is one based on personal relationships and is focused on growing companies--not on engineering financial returns. We take the time to meet, learn from and understand the opportunities and challenges faced when disruptive businesses are being born. It is not uncommon for us to spend countless hours getting to know early-stage companies as we seek to demonstrate our enthusiasm in working with you and helping your company grow with our capital.

SQN Venture Partners, a trusted resource when financing your company.
