Q&A With W. Justin Lacy, AIF®

What are the values that drive you?

Always putting my client’s best interests first.  Seeing a plan through from initial development to a successful outcome is extremely rewarding and what drives me each day. 

What is something potential clients in the investment and protection products industry deal with that you want to fix?

The generational shift of retirement planning responsibilities from employers to the employees themselves. Prior generations relied heavily on pension plans funded by their employers for retirement income; however, with the continued demise of pension plans, the responsibility has shifted to individuals to create, execute, and manage their own financial plans and investments. My goal is to simplify and help make sense of the myriad of investment and protection options available in order to develop a straightforward long-term plan for my clients.
