What is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®?
To earn the CFP® certification from the CFP Board, candidates must meet requirements
for education, work experience, and ethics. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree
or higher from an accredited college or university and also master a list of nearly 100
topics on integrated financial planning through a CFP Board-Registered program,
available through the College of Financial Planning and more than 300 college and
university MBA programs. Topics cover major planning areas, such as:
• General Principles of Finance and Financial
Planning
• Insurance Planning
• Employee Benefits Planning
• Investment and Securities Planning
• State and Federal Income Tax Planning
• Estate, Gift, Charitable,, and Transfer
Tax Planning.
• Asset Protection Planning
• Retirement Planning
• Estate Planning
The time requirement depends heavily on the candidates study schedule – two to
three years is not uncommon. More than 300 colleges and universities offer a CFP
Board-Registered course of study within their graduate MBA programs. Upon
completion, CFP candidates must pass a proctored ten-hour, 2-day, exam, conducted
twice each year on the same dates at specific selected testing locations across the
United States.

Financial Success Isn’t a “Given”.
That’s 60% ($185,750) LESS!
The Dirty Little Secret the TV Pundits Won’t Tell You
Investment Success is NOT about picking hot stocks
• It’s not about magic insight
• It’s not about beating “the pros”
• It’s not about timing the markets
• It’s not about being an economic genius
Few people are hurt by their
investments.
They’re hurt by their BEHAVIOR!
It’s about a PLAN….
and the DISCIPLINE to follow it.
It’s Not Rocket Science
What We’ve Been Taught:
Three Factors Impacting the Accumulation of Wealth
1. HOW MUCH you invest
2. The RATE OF RETURN you achieve
3. TIME LEFT to invest
What do we KNOW about the RELATIONSHIP of these factors?
If any one is reduced, it creates pressure on the other two factors.
As #3 declines – it the only factor that ONLY goes down - the greater the pressure
on #1 and #2!
The Retirement Trap: When #1 and #3 are severely limited, it
puts extreme pressure on #2: That’s when convincing stories
have impact on the unwary.
It’s Not Rocket Science
What We’ve Learned:
The Fourth Factor Impacting the Accumulation of Wealth
4. HOW retirement assets are ARRANGED!
Questions about the future:
• Will prices increase or decrease?
• Will taxes go up or down?
• Are your assets managed for downside risk?

IFG Intro
IFG Intro
It Begins With a Plan
A Plan is your reference point
When it’s clear and calm,
everyone’s a sailor.
But when the storm rages and
you become disoriented, you
seek the ONE fixed point…
something that DOESN’T MOVE.
Something that points the way
to your destination.
It’s your plan.
Who is THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP?
The IFG name does NOT refer to a group of people
organized to sell investment products.
Old Paradigm - Employing firm provided all products
and services in-house to Registered Representatives
charged with generating revenue for the firm.
This model still exists in firms where reps are
required to generate dollars to ‘keep their
desks’ and their paychecks.
This model can create potential conflicts of interest
where the client is concerned.
THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP refers to a
SOLUTION that belongs to YOU!

The New Paradigm
• Unbundled structure
• Independent advisor
• Independent service providers
• Fully-disclosed compensation
• No investment commissions or
‘back-door’ compensation
YOUR independent
financial group
• All members work for the client
• YOU are the CEO
• Advisor acts as personal CFO
• Client is in control
It’s YOUR
INDEPENDENT
FINANCIAL
GROUP
It's not about
picking hot
investments.
It's about
achieving
goals.
Managing the
downside is
more important
than reaching
for higher
returns.
No one can
control the
markets or
interest rates,
but you can
control taxes
and costs.
Monitor
everything and
revise as
necessary,
keeping your
plan current.
The IFG Investment Philosophy
Advisor Value:
Arrangement of assets to meet long-
term goals through
• Establishment of a sound plan
• Decision guidelines framed by the plan
• Tax –efficiency
• Risk management
• Cost control
Building unified tax-efficient portfolios
with little turnover and the assets
located in the right tax vehicles – taxable,
tax-deferred or tax-free – and helping
clients to understand just how much
they’ll need to achieve their goals, are all
critical services with benefits that can far
outweigh the fees they pay to actually
achieve their goals.
It’s about time... and the plan.

The Financial Planning and Investment Advisory Process
IFG Does NOT Take Custody of Client Assets
Clients control assets in their own accounts with an INDEPENDENT CUSTODIAN.
IFG’s Primary Custodian Service Provider: Pershing,
division of Bank of New York-Mellon
Pershing, owned by BNY-Mellon, is our primary custodian for client accounts*. IFG
receives no compensation from this or any other investment service provider.
Unlike other major banks, The Bank of New York is primarily a provider of global and
domestic custody services, not a retail bank. The Bank is a major force in the mutual
fund processing business and has a long history in the financial services arena.
*The choice of asset custodian for a given client is based on a match between the
custodian’s service capabilities and the individual client’s needs.
IFG receives no compensation or incentives of any description from any investment
service provider IFG’s investment advisory compensation is solely through client fees.
Bank of New York-Mellon’s 200-Year History
• The Bank of New York was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1784
• It is the oldest bank in the United States
• It is one of the oldest banks in the world
• The Bank came into existence before the adoption of the U.S. Constitution
• First loan made to the United States Government -- $200,000 in 1789, during George Washington’s
first administration
• The Bank’s headquarters are located at One Wall Street, New York, NY
• In 1792, The Bank’s stock was the first stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange
• The Bank is one of the largest financial holding companies in the United States
• Global expansion began with an office in London in 1966
• The Bank now has a presence in 33 countries
• BNY is not a retail bank; rather, it provides global custodial services to financial institutions around
the world. Since it had no retail loans, the government used BNY to administer the TARP program
after the credit meltdown.
IFG’s Fee Structure
There are two types of fees, each charged separately:
• Planning fees: This is a one-time flat-fee for the creation of your plan, whether a full-
scope financial plan concerning estate issues or, more commonly, a limited scope plan
focusing on a specific area, commonly retirement. Your fee will be quoted in advance
after a no-fee analysis session and will be based on the scope, complexity, and time
required for the plan. A completed plan is a requirement for becoming an IFG advisory
client. Once completed, the plan belongs to you.
• Investment advisory fees: Annual advisory fees are deducted on a quarterly basis by
the asset custodian, based on the level of assets on deposit. All fees and deductions are
fully disclosed in advance and reflected on client reporting.
Upon completion of our initial meeting – this will give each of us an opportunity to learn
more - I’ll be happy to provide you with a complete custom quotation as well as a copy of
IFG’s ADV filing.
Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
The IFG Credo
Every client deserves, and has the right to expect, an objective and unbiased
advisor who is fully aligned with the client’s goals, possesses a moral compass
with strict standards of accountability, and who takes a straightforward, common
sense collaborative approach, putting the client in control of a hassle-free process
incorporating breakthrough technology and unparalleled flexibility… with openness
and transparency.
Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
My Goal With Each Client
Extraordinary service with no surprises, no excuses, and no
worries, as well as independent thinking and lasting solutions to
help clients achieve the security, stability, predictability, and peace
of mind they seek.

  • 5. The Dirty Little Secret the TV Pundits Won’t Tell You Investment Success is NOT about picking hot stocks • It’s not about magic insight • It’s not about beating “the pros” • It’s not about timing the markets • It’s not about being an economic genius Few people are hurt by their investments. They’re hurt by their BEHAVIOR! It’s about a PLAN…. and the DISCIPLINE to follow it.
  • 6. It’s Not Rocket Science What We’ve Been Taught: Three Factors Impacting the Accumulation of Wealth 1. HOW MUCH you invest 2. The RATE OF RETURN you achieve 3. TIME LEFT to invest What do we KNOW about the RELATIONSHIP of these factors? If any one is reduced, it creates pressure on the other two factors. As #3 declines – it the only factor that ONLY goes down - the greater the pressure on #1 and #2! The Retirement Trap: When #1 and #3 are severely limited, it puts extreme pressure on #2: That’s when convincing stories have impact on the unwary.
  • 7. It’s Not Rocket Science What We’ve Learned: The Fourth Factor Impacting the Accumulation of Wealth 4. HOW retirement assets are ARRANGED! Questions about the future: • Will prices increase or decrease? • Will taxes go up or down? • Are your assets managed for downside risk?

  • 14. It Begins With a Plan A Plan is your reference point When it’s clear and calm, everyone’s a sailor. But when the storm rages and you become disoriented, you seek the ONE fixed point… something that DOESN’T MOVE. Something that points the way to your destination. It’s your plan.
  • 15. Who is THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP? The IFG name does NOT refer to a group of people organized to sell investment products. Old Paradigm - Employing firm provided all products and services in-house to Registered Representatives charged with generating revenue for the firm. This model still exists in firms where reps are required to generate dollars to ‘keep their desks’ and their paychecks. This model can create potential conflicts of interest where the client is concerned. THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP refers to a SOLUTION that belongs to YOU! Custodial Services Investment Managers Product Development (in-house funds & products) Research & Due-diligence Client Reporting Services Back Office & Administration Registered Representatives (brokers) 20+ Years ago: Me.
  • 16. THIS is THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP. IFGClient Custodian 3rdPartyMgrs &Funds Due-Diligence &Research Client Reporting BackOffice Administration TheAdvisor The New Paradigm • Unbundled structure • Independent advisor • Independent service providers • Fully-disclosed compensation • No investment commissions or ‘back-door’ compensation YOUR independent financial group • All members work for the client • YOU are the CEO • Advisor acts as personal CFO • Client is in control It’s YOUR INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL GROUP
  • 17. It's not about picking hot investments. It's about achieving goals. Managing the downside is more important than reaching for higher returns. No one can control the markets or interest rates, but you can control taxes and costs. Monitor everything and revise as necessary, keeping your plan current. The IFG Investment Philosophy Advisor Value: Arrangement of assets to meet long- term goals through • Establishment of a sound plan • Decision guidelines framed by the plan • Tax –efficiency • Risk management • Cost control Building unified tax-efficient portfolios with little turnover and the assets located in the right tax vehicles – taxable, tax-deferred or tax-free – and helping clients to understand just how much they’ll need to achieve their goals, are all critical services with benefits that can far outweigh the fees they pay to actually achieve their goals. It’s about time... and the plan.

  • 20. IFG Does NOT Take Custody of Client Assets Clients control assets in their own accounts with an INDEPENDENT CUSTODIAN. IFG’s Primary Custodian Service Provider: Pershing, division of Bank of New York-Mellon Pershing, owned by BNY-Mellon, is our primary custodian for client accounts*. IFG receives no compensation from this or any other investment service provider. Unlike other major banks, The Bank of New York is primarily a provider of global and domestic custody services, not a retail bank. The Bank is a major force in the mutual fund processing business and has a long history in the financial services arena. *The choice of asset custodian for a given client is based on a match between the custodian’s service capabilities and the individual client’s needs. IFG receives no compensation or incentives of any description from any investment service provider IFG’s investment advisory compensation is solely through client fees.
  • 21. Bank of New York-Mellon’s 200-Year History • The Bank of New York was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1784 • It is the oldest bank in the United States • It is one of the oldest banks in the world • The Bank came into existence before the adoption of the U.S. Constitution • First loan made to the United States Government -- $200,000 in 1789, during George Washington’s first administration • The Bank’s headquarters are located at One Wall Street, New York, NY • In 1792, The Bank’s stock was the first stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange • The Bank is one of the largest financial holding companies in the United States • Global expansion began with an office in London in 1966 • The Bank now has a presence in 33 countries • BNY is not a retail bank; rather, it provides global custodial services to financial institutions around the world. Since it had no retail loans, the government used BNY to administer the TARP program after the credit meltdown.
  • 22. IFG’s Fee Structure There are two types of fees, each charged separately: • Planning fees: This is a one-time flat-fee for the creation of your plan, whether a full- scope financial plan concerning estate issues or, more commonly, a limited scope plan focusing on a specific area, commonly retirement. Your fee will be quoted in advance after a no-fee analysis session and will be based on the scope, complexity, and time required for the plan. A completed plan is a requirement for becoming an IFG advisory client. Once completed, the plan belongs to you. • Investment advisory fees: Annual advisory fees are deducted on a quarterly basis by the asset custodian, based on the level of assets on deposit. All fees and deductions are fully disclosed in advance and reflected on client reporting. Upon completion of our initial meeting – this will give each of us an opportunity to learn more - I’ll be happy to provide you with a complete custom quotation as well as a copy of IFG’s ADV filing. Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
  • 23. The IFG Credo Every client deserves, and has the right to expect, an objective and unbiased advisor who is fully aligned with the client’s goals, possesses a moral compass with strict standards of accountability, and who takes a straightforward, common sense collaborative approach, putting the client in control of a hassle-free process incorporating breakthrough technology and unparalleled flexibility… with openness and transparency. Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
  • 24. My Goal With Each Client Extraordinary service with no surprises, no excuses, and no worries, as well as independent thinking and lasting solutions to help clients achieve the security, stability, predictability, and peace of mind they seek. Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
