Who is L.K. Benson?

We are currently fine tuning our vision for the future of L.K. Benson & Company. Over the past 21 years we have helped our clients create, preserve and distribute their wealth. We have helped our clients plan for their own futures and now we need to plan for our own. In order to do that we first need to step back and think about why we do what we do, who we are and what we represent. Find out our answers to those questions here.

Nobody wants to settle for “average”. We all like to believe we are above average in most things we do. Studies of activities ranging from driving ability to professional performance have shown that we are over confident in our own abilities. This isn’t always a bad thing but it can be harmful if we aren’t cognizant of it, especially when it comes to investing. Many people don’t like the thought of investing in a diversified portfolio of low cost index funds because that means they are doomed to “average” returns. What they don’t realize is that earning these “average” returns actually means they will be well above average compared to most investors! Here’s why.

Summer is just around the corner and if you have kids they might be getting ready to start their summer jobs. A few years ago we covered some of the important things for students to keep in mind when they go to work in the summer. Now might be a good time to look back at that article.
