Risk Management in Houston, TX

Protecting Your Plan and Your Wealth

Risk management is an essential part of your financial plan. For individuals and families in Houston, I can help protect your hard-earned wealth when what can go wrong, does go wrong. As a financial advisor, I focus on identifying the danger you can’t see and helping you mitigate that danger before damage is done.

Every detail matters. A comprehensive risk management strategy helps ensure that you and your loved ones are protected. Let's connect today to discuss your needs.

Get Started

Life Insurance: Planning with Purpose

When it comes to protecting your family’s future, life insurance plays a critical role. Whether your goals involve caring for a spouse, supporting children, or passing gifts to heirs, life insurance helps provide financial support when it’s needed most.

You might wonder:

How much life insurance coverage do I need?
What kind of life insurance is right for me?
How often should I review my life insurance coverage?
Every family is different, and I help you figure out how much coverage you need and what kind of life insurance suits you best. And I keep your plan on track with regular reviews, so you know your coverage is keeping up with you.

Disability Insurance: Protecting Your Earning Potential

Your ability to earn income is one of your most valuable assets. Disability insurance replaces lost income if illness or injury prevents you from working. As your risk manager, I help you:

Review your existing coverage
Identify any gaps in that coverage
Find coverage to fill those gaps
Risk management means making sure you’re prepared for life’s “what-ifs.”

Long Term Care Insurance: Planning to Age with Dignity

Will I live too long? Will a final illness mean depleting my assets? What will happen to my spouse if I need long-term care? How will I pay for long-term care if I need it? The cost of assisted living, in-home care, or skilled nursing could have a major impact on your financial plan. Managing this risk starts with a Stress Test to see if the cost of end-of-life care could meaningfully impact your plan. If it does, we explore options like:

Long-term care insurance
Annuities
Asset liquidation
Planning now means that if the need arises, you can make choices with confidence, knowing that you have all well in hand.

Integrating Risk Management with Estate Planning

One risk you may not see coming is that you may become unable to make choices for yourself due to illness or injury. Part of my risk management process is reviewing your Estate Plan to see if you have all the documents, designations, and releases needed so that the person you choose can make decisions when you can’t. Those documents include:

Financial Power of Attorney
Healthcare Power of Attorney
HIPAA Release
A will and/or trust

As a Baird client, you will have access to Baird’s in-house estate planning experts who will work hand in hand with your estate planning attorney. Together, we help make your risk management plan, estate plan, and financial plan work in harmony so you can be confident that you and the people you love are cared for, come what may.

Evaluating Risk Within Your Portfolio

Risk management also means understanding how your investments may be impacted by market disruptions. I offer tools to help simulate a falling stock market and help you evaluate:

Your potential reactions to a falling stock market
Your portfolio’s likely performance in a falling stock market
Your access to emergency cash reserves
How quickly you can convert investments to cash
Your access to quick cash through credit

When it comes to risk management within a portfolio, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is risk management important in financial planning?
It protects you, the wealth you’ve already built and the wealth you will build in the future. It also protects the most precious thing of all – the people you love.

When should I think about long-term care or disability insurance?
The earlier the better. Planning ahead gives you more control, more options, and more time to execute.

Do you provide tax or legal advice?
Baird and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. We do work closely with our in-house estate planning specialists, your estate planning attorney, and your tax advisor.

Do you sell life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance?
While I am licensed to sell all these products, I’m not expert enough in each product line to offer you a Fiduciary standard of care when recommending specific products. That’s why I maintain a network of experts in each of these product lines to whom I can refer when the need arises.
