Larry A. Kuyper, ChFC
Larry Kuyper began his financial career in 1977 helping farm families with insurance and estate planning. He developed a proprietary system called LifePlan Estate Planning Organizer, which serves as a practical tool for his clients to plan and manage their estates. It creates an inventory of family information, legal documents and financial data making it easy for their heirs to administer their estates and trusts. It also helps coordinate the legal, financial and tax matters into an efficient and working plan.
As his clients’ growing need for investment management grew, Larry, together with a team of advisors developed LifePlan Private Portfolios. It is a private money management system that gives each individual client a personal investment portfolio. It allows clients of moderate means to have access to a private account, just as the very wealthy have enjoyed for generations.
LifePlan Private Portfolios closely matches risk tolerance with performance goals to create a personal investment plan that fits clients’ needs and exceeds their expectations. The investment process continues to evolve with updated strategies that are relevant to current economic conditions.
