Welcome to Jay Schulman's Website
The investment climate has never been more exciting or more challenging than it is today.
To take advantage of all available opportunities, investors need two things: an understanding of which investment products are most appropriate for their situation and a relationship with a trustworthy representative who has a clear understanding of their needs.
By placing clients' objectives first, staying in contact with them throughout all market conditions and making investment adjustments as economic or lifestyle conditions warrant, I maintain a constant commitment to maintaining a high level of communication and service.
As a full-service financial consultant, I offer clients an assortment of quality, non-proprietary investment choices. If you would like any further information about these topics, or other areas of investing, please don't hesitate to contact me, by phone or e-mail. I can help you make sense of today's investment climate.
