WHERE TO TURN FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE

LACERS does not provide financial advice, nor do we partner with, or endorse any financial planning services. So, what can LACERS Members do if they don’t have the expertise, the time, or the desire to manage certain financial aspects of their life? They can consider working with a Certified Financial Planner ™ professional.

Remember that choosing a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional is as important as choosing a doctor or lawyer; it’s a very personal relationship. For this reason, experts recommend interviewing at least three CFP® professionals to find one that best serves your needs.
