Stevens Rich—Worth Trusting

The partnership of Stevens Rich PLLC is composed of John C. Rich and Bart Stevens.

John Rich had a 26 year career as an accountant and was a certified public accountant while working in the electric utiltiy industry.  Twelve of those years, from 1988 to 2000, were spent with the local Kerrville municipal electric company as the Chief Financial Officer.  Part of the duties of the office included being the Chief Investment Officer with the responsibility for a $12,000,000 investment portfolio.  In 2000, John joined A. G. Edwards & Sons in Kerrville.  Before coming to Investment Centers of America, Inc. (ICA), he also spent 3 years with Edward Jones & Sons in Kerrville.  He has been with ICA since April 2005.

Bart Stevens began his career in finance in 2001 working for the Big Four accounting firm, KPMG, and its eventual spin-off, BearingPoint Consulting.  After spending three years in corporate finance he felt a calling to be involved in helping people prepare for their future by working in the personal finance arena.  He spent 6 years working for Edward Jones in Austin and then in Kerrville.  In March 2010 he partnered with John Rich at Investment Centers of America and the new partnership of Stevens Rich PLLC was born.

Both Bart and John have a common interest in educating people about financial subjects.  A stated goal is to reach people through teaching the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University course and having different product vendors present educational seminars throughout the year on topics of interest to the Kerrville community.

Evaluating Life Insurance Needs

It's a good idea for people to evaluate their life insurance coverage to help ensure it keeps pace with their needs. Not only do major life events affect the amount of coverage that may be needed, but inflation can reduce the purchasing power of the death benefit and a greater benefit may be needed to cover estate taxes and other debts.

Do You Have Enough Disability Coverage

Disability can affect anyone without notice, and a well-paid professional in the midst of a productive career has much to lose if he or she suffers a medical problem and is unable to work. But there are ways that high earners can expand their coverage and help ensure that their income, assets, and lifestyle are not at risk from a potential disability.

Balancing Stability and Growth

An investor who is 2 or 3 decades from retirement could decide to be more aggressive in pursuing investment growth than someone approaching retirement. Even though investors address this by transitioning to a more conservative asset allocation, they still need to seek growth while balancing the desire for principal preservation. This article offers some factors to consider.
