Frequently Asked Questions
Financial Planning
What does a financial plan include?
A financial plan outlines your income, expenses, investments, insurance, and goals to give you a clear roadmap toward financial independence. Highland creates custom plans to align your finances with your life priorities and long-term vision.
How does Highland’s financial planning differ from others?
We are a fee-only fiduciary firm—our only obligation is to you, not commissions or products. Our plans are dynamic, data-driven, and adjusted over time to reflect life’s changes.
How often should I update my financial plan?
We recommend an annual review or whenever major life changes occur—like retirement, marriage, or inheritance—to ensure your plan stays relevant and effective.
What does a first meeting look like?
The first meeting is a conversation focused on understanding where you are today and what you want to accomplish next. We’ll talk through your current financial picture—investments, income, taxes, and any major decisions on the horizon—so we can identify where things feel unclear or uncoordinated. You don’t need to have everything organized ahead of time; the goal is simply to get a clear starting point. From there, we’ll outline how we can help and what a structured planning process would look like if you decide to move forward.
What is the minimum to work with Highland?
Highland Investment Advisors typically works with individuals and families who have at least $1 million in investable assets or are on a clear path to that level. This allows us to provide the depth of planning and coordination our process is designed for, including tax strategy, retirement planning, and long-term wealth management.
If you’re not sure whether you’re a fit, a short conversation can help clarify that quickly and point you in the right direction.
