Particularly in an uncertain economy, it's difficult to know how best to grow your investments. While in transition, your focus changes to how best to handle ongoing expenses. In October, financial advisors Chris Kampitsis and Benjamin Soccodato of Barnum Financial Group (BFG), an Office of MetLife, will share best practices for living comfortably on a reduced income.

 

As a Financial Planner with Barnum Financial Group, Chris serves the investment and protection needs of individuals and their families as well as work with corporations and their employees. His practice is focused around long-lasting relationships based on providing clients with holistic financial and retirement planning, investor education, and quality service.

Chris’ process begins with a comprehensive review of his client’s overall assets and income sources, including investments, retirement plans, real estate, annuities, and stock options. After an initial meeting, he analyzes the client’s situation and identifies strategies and solutions.

He began his career as a paralegal specializing in Estate and Family Law which gave him a strong foundation for understanding the financial challenges and opportunities individuals face on a daily basis. He works with clients to customize a plan that integrates their objectives within a larger, overall financial strategy. Chris graduated Magna Cum Laude at Fordham University, majoring in Business Administration.  You can reach Chris at his business number, (914) 272-2229 or at his email address, ckampitsis@metlife.com.

 

Benjamin Soccodato is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ recipient at Barnum Financial Group (BFG). Ben’s mission is to provide his clients with financial comfort and security, helping them envision and achieve their financial goals.

 

Ben’s primary focus is comprehensive financial planning. He provides his clients with the framework and blueprint for their financial future. Asset and Risk management, as well as Estate and Business succession strategies, are his core competencies. By aligning himself with area tax and legal advisors as well as bankers, Ben can truly provide comprehensive professional financial planning services for his clients.

The combination of being with both MetLife and BFG avails Ben of the resources of one of the world’s largest financial institutions together with the personal services and attention that are the hallmark of a smaller organization. Establishing and maintaining long lasting partnerships is the top priority of Ben and his team.

Ben graduated from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield CT, with a degree in finance.  You can reach Chris at his business number, 203-513-6179 or you can email him at bsoccodato@metlife.com.
