Why might you consider adding Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) to your fixed income portfolio? And what types of investing environments and accounts are most conducive to holding TIPS? TIPS shine during periods of higher inflation than anticipated. With the current regulatory environment focused on combatting the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation rates have risen steeply when compared to the recent past[1].
Our view is that current stimulus measures created a natural buoyancy for inflation that will not dissipate in the near term. TIPS, which adjusts based for anticipated price changes, may prove to be an integral part of a well-diversified retirement portfolio due to the ability to help offset higher-than-anticipated inflation.
If you would like to discuss your current tax, investment, or retirement plans and evaluate weather TIPS or another investment is suitable for you, please feel free to contact us through our website or give us a call at 1-732-564-9404.
We are a fiduciary financial advisor based in Warren, NJ providing objective, fee-only financial planning, investment, and tax services. We strongly value lasting relationships with our clients and their families so we can focus on their goals and objectives.

A client approaches SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS seeking guidance as the executor of his deceased family member’s will.
They are beginning to feel overwhelmed with responsibilities such as probating the will, taking inventory of assets, paying taxes, paying bills, consolidating accounts, retitling assets, and distributing assets according to the provisions of the will. They want to ensure that the estate is settled properly and that they are not held financially responsible for any mistakes.
We would set up initial meetings to locate and probate the will. We would then proceed to navigate all accounts to calculate the gross estate. We would ensure all necessary taxes are paid, debts are settled, and assets are distributed to beneficiaries accordingly. We would also create and notarize statements of release and refund for all beneficiaries in order to protect the executor financially.
A business owner has decided to retire and plans to sell their company. They reach out to SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS to establish a plan for protecting their wealth.
They have worked long and hard to get to this point, and they want to create and maintain a lasting financial legacy for their three children, who have established lives of their own. They want their hard work to benefit future generations while also avoiding complications within the family.
After getting to know our clients and understanding what is important to them, we would create a trust structure that aligns with their overall goals. We would look for ways to utilize their assets by analyzing the tax implications while identifying potential challenges. We would examine the timing of distributions and accessibility to additional funds and then execute those plans. We would also coordinate discussions about the family’s wealth to improve communication, reduce family conflict, and guide the next generation on a successful path.
A newly married couple contacts SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS seeking help with developing a financial plan for their future.
They are both career-oriented professionals who are seeking advice for achieving their short-, medium-, and long-term financial goals. This includes savings for children’s education, mortgage and home-buying navigation, retirement planning, student loan refinancing, and life insurance and estate guidance.
We would set up a series of meetings to learn their goals and associated timelines. Once solidified, we would conduct a cash liquidity study based on current and expected future incomes, expenses, and savings. From there, we would develop a comprehensive plan to lay out target savings, expected spending, and budgeting for each life event and time horizon. We would also build an aggregate investment portfolio that fits their needs.
A doctor with a successful practice reaches out to SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS to help with retirement, business, and tax planning.
They have dedicated their time and career to helping others and built a successful business doing so, but now they realize they need professional help handling the financial aspects of their life and business.
We would begin with getting to know our client’s personal financial goals, as well as learning the ins and outs of their practice. From there, we would develop a retirement plan in order to maintain their lifestyle in retirement. We would also develop a tax-efficient plan for the practice to ensure their work and passion translates to maximum financial returns. With retirement and tax strategies in place, they can devote their full time to their patients while remaining confident in their financial future.
The child of an elderly widow reaches out to SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS seeking management of their parents’ finances, care, estate, and household.
The child is a busy professional with young children, and the mother’s affairs now require more time and attendance than they are able to provide with their busy schedule.
First, we would determine the mother’s needs and the child’s needs during initial meetings. We would then develop a plan that includes estate and trust planning and distributions, income planning, medical and daily care selection and administration, and investment portfolio management. We would track monthly, daily, and yearly expenses and ensure the bills were paid on time and in full. Our plan would also include coordination of services for property and household management as needed or requested, giving both child and daughter assurance that their financial, personal, and medical needs are being carefully managed.
An executive approaches SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS looking to create an investment and tax strategy.
They have a high income and high net worth but have never been concerned about the details of compensation or developed a comprehensive plan for their wealth and estate. They own multiple properties and have benefits such as stock options, restricted stock options, and deferred compensation plans. They have built a successful career thus far and are now focusing on building a successful financial future for generations.
First, we would work with them to learn their financial goals and quantify them into a comprehensive and time-specific plan. We would work to coordinate their salary, savings, and executive benefits into a tax-efficient strategy that meets the education funding need for children, financing needs for new properties or moves, and target spending by amount and time horizon. We would also develop a full trust and estate plan laying out asset distribution objectives while minimizing estate taxes.
A widow approaches SPINELLI FINANCIAL ADVISORS seeking guidance after her husband passes.
For their 40 years of marriage, her husband had managed their finances. She is now trying to unravel multiple accounts, insurance claims, tax filing, and income sources but finds herself overwhelmed and without the time. She needs somebody she can trust to manage these assets.
We would work with her to make key decisions during this emotional time. After taking time to learn her needs, we would organize all accounts and any associated tax implications, then develop an investment strategy that will allow her to maintain her standard of living. We would also create a financial plan with a spending level her portfolio can sustain. Our team would also help plan for long-term health care needs to ensure next of kin remain unburdened and her wealth maintained.
We take a proactive approach to minimize taxes you pay.
For most of us, taxes will be our largest lifelong expense.

Knowing which questions to ask to maximize deductions can have large implications on the taxes you pay.
We have decades of experience preparing both individual and business tax returns. We handle the most complicated situations with expertise, and we know the correct questions to ask to minimize your tax liability.
