“I
have been acquainted with Doug Hallett since August 2002.
I don’t consider myself a “client” of Doug’s because he treats
me as more of a friend than a business opportunity. I have
had dealings with a large national mutual fund firm since
the early 1980’s and since that time I have been “assigned”
three different advisors. Even though the firm had many other
funds in which I could choose, they were all associated with
one company. I had no chance to explore other products outside
their firm’s offerings. When I met with my other advisor,
I got the hard sell and felt he was more interested in peddling
more products even if it was not in my best interest.
Doug
showed me how I can make the bank’s money work for me instead
of my money working for the bank. It has helped to supplement
my son’s college fund and has worked quite well. This is something
my other advisor never addressed in such detail. Doug evaluated
my family’s current and future needs. He was able to select
from numerous funds and put together a well-rounded plan that
met with out specific goals. Doug took the time to explain
everything to us and after the initial meeting we were very
comfortable in trusting our financial future to him. For many
people the current financial atmosphere is very unsettling,
but I feel this is an excellent opportunity due to the low
interest rates and stock prices.
Through
Doug’s investment and insurance programs both my wife and
I feel good about our financial situation both current and
for the future. I hope to be an acquaintance of Doug’s for
the foreseeable future.”
