Investment Management
Eagle Strategies LLC is a Registered Investment Adviser and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life, and is a provider of holistic investment advisory and financial planning services. Our financial advisors leverage Eagle’s sophisticated wealth management platform, comprised of many of today’s leading investment managers, to design customized investment solutions to help address our clients’ unique investment objectives and risk tolerance levels. The breadth and investment knowledge of our Financial Advisors, coupled with Eagle’s diverse team of investment experts, allows them to provide the continuous financial guidance needed to help clients achieve long-term financial success.
Financial Planning
A comprehensive financial analysis of assets, liabilities, cash flow, and investments helps us identify a clear path to our clients’ prosperous futures. We’ll craft a detailed financial plan that helps you have the right wealth accumulation and preservation strategy in place to achieve your long-term investment objectives. More importantly, we continuously monitor and adjust our clients’ financial plans to ensure that they remain aligned with their stated objectives.
Fund Advisory Program
This program combines the expertise of professional third party investment managers with the personalized service and guidance of the Financial Advisor. By analyzing your overall investment goals, risk tolerance levels, and liquidity needs, we’ll help you determine which investment portfolio allocation, consisting of an optimal blend of nonproprietary mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is most appropriate for your investment goals and specific situation.
Separately Managed Accounts
Separately Managed Accounts (“SMAs”) are a type of professionally managed investment account that invest in individual securities on a discretionary basis and provide clients with the flexibility of restricting the holding of certain securities and tactically utilizing gains and losses for tax planning purposes. We will leverage Eagle’s robust offering of nonproprietary SMA strategies available through third-party money managers to either custom design a holistic investment portfolio or utilize individual strategies to address your specific allocation needs.
Rep Directed Program
This is an investment advisory program through which we will construct a customized portfolio of individual mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and in some cases, individual securities, using the strategic asset allocation framework developed by Eagle Strategies and a leading institutional asset manager, or simply by us for you to review and approve. We’ll seek to utilize an optimal blend of asset classes that helps maximize long-term returns, manage overall portfolio volatility and achieve investment objectives while remaining aligned with your risk profile.
All investment advisory services are offered through Eagle Strategies LLC, a registered investment adviser. All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal.
Estate Planning
A well-engineered estate conservation plan can help minimize tax liability and ensure that loved ones are protected. We will work with you and your advisors to assess the impact of state and federal taxes on your estate and suggest strategies to help minimize those taxes while meeting your family’s needs. Neither New York Life Insurance Company, Eagle Strategies LLC, nor any of their affiliates or representatives provides tax, legal, or accounting advice. Please consult your own tax, legal, or accounting professionals before making any decisions.
Asset Protection
There are numerous financial strategies and retirement income strategies that can help you accumulate assets for the future, protect your business and personal assets from liabilities, and safeguard asset transfer to children and grandchildren. We can help you figure out what the right course of action is for your specific situation and objectives.
Charitable Planning
Charitable planning allows you to support the organizations and causes that matter to you, while often providing immediate income streams and reducing your tax burden. Numerous charitable giving strategies exist, and we can help you design and execute a charitable giving strategy that is in alignment with your personal and philanthropic goals. Neither New York Life Insurance Company, Eagle Strategies LLC, nor any of their affiliates or representatives provides tax, legal, or accounting advice. Please consult your own tax, legal, or accounting professionals before making any decisions.
Disability and Extended Care Needs
To execute a sound retirement strategy, asset and income protection are a must. Designing a plan that encompasses managing costs for extended periods of care and disability insurance can help create the necessary balance in a portfolio to ensure stability and protection of assets.

401(k) and IRA Rollovers
When you leave a job or retire, you have a decision to make regarding your 401(k) money. While leaving those assets in the former employer's plan is an option, a rollover can be a consideration. Working with your tax advisor, we can help you determine the right course of action for you. This may include: leaving the funds in your existing plan, if permitted, or rolling them into your new employer's plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted. Each choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific needs and retirement plan, such as the desired investment options and services, applicable fees, expenses, and withdrawal options, as well as required minimum distributions and tax treatment of applicable options.
Neither New York Life Insurance Company nor its agents offer tax advice.
Wealth Management
Through Eagle Strategies LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company, we work with our clients to design and implement a variety of wealth accumulation and management plans, offering investment programs ranging from separately managed portfolios of stocks and bonds to mutual funds, and access to third-party wealth management programs. We offer a consistent process to help ensure management of investment assets according to your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. We then monitor your plan on a continual basis, and adjust and evolve as your needs change.
Executive Benefits
The success of most businesses is tied in to the talent, passion, and work ethics of their key executives. Executive benefit packages can help you attract, motivate, and retain high-caliber employees and keep your company healthy and stable. We can help you with funding non-qualified plans, supplemental employee retirement plans, split dollar plans, and more.
Succession Planning
Succession planning allows owners to retire from their business within their own time frame, while preparing for the company to be transferred to family members, key employees, an outside party, or even a charity. This must be done in a way that achieves personal financial security, maintains harmony, and achieves maximum value for the business. We can provide financial strategies for succession planning.
Key Person Insurance
Key person life insurance offers a death benefit that helps indemnify an employer for the loss of one of its most important assets—the key person. This can help assure continuity of the business for employees, customers, and creditors, and protects against losses in sales, momentum, and credit. It can also be used to assist with recruiting and developing a replacement for the employee.
Funding Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation is a written agreement between an employer and an employee in which the employee chooses to have part of his or her compensation withheld by the company, invested on their behalf, and distributed to them at a predetermined point in the future. Deferred compensation can be used as a flexible way to attract and incentivize key employees. We provide funding strategies for deferred compensation.
Retirement Planning
Through Eagle Strategies LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company, we work with our clients to design and implement a variety of wealth accumulation and management plans, offering investment programs ranging from separately managed portfolios of stocks and bonds to mutual funds, and access to third-party wealth management programs. We offer a consistent process to help ensure management of investment assets according to your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. We then monitor your plan on a continual basis, and adjust and evolve as your needs change.
Education Planning
Planning for the education of your children can be overwhelming. Our team of professionals is prepared to work with you to take into account factors such as tuition growth, risks involved, taxes, and more, to create a plan best suited to the needs of both you and your children. Talk to us about education funding today.
We do not provide tax advice. Please consult your own advisors for tax advice.
Debt Management
Through Eagle Strategies LLC, we provide personalized financial planning to our clients that is specific to several variables, including their income, risk tolerance, values, and family. We work with each client to identify and prioritize their goals, explore options, establish effective strategies, construct and execute a plan, and assess the performance of the plan and make adjustments as needed.
Employee Benefits
Today’s labor market is competitive, and finding quality employees that have the experience, values, and knowledge necessary for the job can be a challenge. Then, after you’ve put your team together, you still have to figure out how to keep them motivated and happy to be there. Offering benefits that are the right fit for your business can help to reduce employee turnover, which in turn also helps your long-term stability. Even though it’s an added expense, it’s typically much less than what it takes to hire, train, and retain new employees.
We can guide you through the process of designing a custom benefits package that keeps you competitive and doesn’t drain your wallet. We’ll show you a wide variety of services and solutions to find the options that fit your needs and budget.
Life Insurance
Many people think that life insurance is only for people with families. While it’s true that life insurance can help provide for the needs of dependents, life insurance also can be an important part of a well-thought-out estate, business succession, or charitable giving plan. And permanent life insurance offers many living benefits as well, such as tax-deferred cash value accumulation. For all of these reasons, life insurance can be important for someone starting out—or for someone who's starting over.
Fixed & Variable Annuities
An annuity is a unique financial vehicle designed to help you accumulate money for your retirement and/or turn a lump sum into a guaranteed stream of income payments. Deferred annuities offer the advantage of tax deferral and can be used to accumulate money for retirement. Income annuities are used to generate a stream of income payments that are guaranteed to last for as long as you need them to—even for the rest of your life.*
*Guarantees are dependent upon the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer.
Disability Income Protection
To execute a sound retirement strategy, asset and income protection are a must. Designing a plan that encompasses managing costs for extended periods of care and disability insurance can help create the necessary balance in a portfolio to ensure stability and protection of assets.
