Financial planning and beyond

Telescope in window

Understanding your life, your wealth and what you want to accomplish is at the core of our practice. We'll discuss your goals, the people who are most important in your life and your vision for the future. Then we'll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

Timeframes may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.

      Seth Albeck is a Senior Wealth Strategy Associate at UBS Financial Services. He began his career in 2010 when he joined the Maxim Group LLC in an advisory role. Seth quickly realized that his passion was to be able to help clients map their investments to align with their short and long term goals. In 2012, he joined The Argus Group whose planning based investment approach, of having clients identify their financial goals and building an investment portfolio to achieve those goals, matched that of his own.

      Seth helps clients by focusing on learning about what is important to them today and their future, creates a personalized financial plan, illustrating the clients’ current probability of achieving their future financial aspirations, and advises them on ways to bridge the gap between their current needs and future goals.

      One of his primary focuses is constructing investment portfolios that aligns with the client’s financial plan and their goals. The main emphasis being on clients not taking any additional risk than is necessary and helping them to implement the portfolio in the most tax-efficient manner.

      Seth grew up on Long Island before moving to Boston in 2012. In his spare time, Seth enjoys spending time with his golden retriever, Leia, watching movies, playing hockey and golf and is a big supporter of the New York Rangers, Yankees, and Green Bay Packers.
