The Business Strategies Group of Long Island

 

WEALTH IS ALWAYS PLANNED

Douglas Gregory Herschell

Lake Success, NY

Greg, a Dartmouth graduate, has worked in the financial services industry for almost 40 years.  After spending the bulk of his career dealing with large institutional investors, Greg joined AXA Advisors as a financial consultant.  He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to aid businesses and individuals in managing their risks, investments, retirement, and estate plans.  

Greg has recently joined The Business Strategies Group of Long Island, a division of AXA Advuisors as a partner.  The BSG utilizes a program, "Blueprints for Tomorrow", to help business owners protect what they have created, increase the financial potential of the business, plan an efficient succession or exit  strategy, and sleep soundly at night.

I believe that the time spent developing a sound financial strategy is extraordinarily meaningful for you, your family, and your business.  Continuity is never guaranteed.  In an increasingly complex world a trusted advisor is invaluable.  If you need help in navigating the everchanging financial waters please call or e-mail me.  Whether it is a question of asset allocation, risk management, retirement saving/planning, business succession, employee retention, or the efficient transfer of wealth to you heirs, I and my collegues at AXA Advisors can help."
