Retired Surgeon
Over the years Lauren has become a trusted family friend serving all our financial needs. In 2008, when most of our friends lost quite a bit of their retirement portfolio, ours was all intact and we are reaping the benefits today. Current, up-to-date investment knowledge and honesty are very important to us and we find these qualities in Lauren and have recommended her to our children who also take her advice for their financial portfolios.

As a physician, I received financial advice from Lauren Gidley for the last ten years and can vouch for her character and concern for my future and financial success. I benefited from her tax saving strategies!

Lauren has always been proactive in helping us protect our investments which is very important to us. She showed us how to diversify our investments outside the stock and bond markets and helped us preserve our portfolio during the last three stock market crashes. Lauren helped us plan for a comfortable retirement by adding multiple sources of predictable income to our portfolio. She truly cares for her clients, and we feel confident that Lauren is watching out for us.

Lauren was instrumental in helping me establish a tax-free pension as well as guiding my wife and I with a plan for retirement by recommending investments that will provide lifetime income and increase that income over time. In addition, the retirement plan Lauren set up for me and my business partners saved us a substantial amount of tax, and I was able to put those savings toward my retirement. I know Lauren has my best interests at heart.

Lauren took time to understand my goals, then set up a plan so I would know how much income I could count having when I was ready to retire. Now that I am retired, I am very glad that the investments Lauren recommended are now giving me guaranteed income for the rest of my life. I am truly grateful to Lauren for the planning she did for me to make sure my income would be secure in my retirement.

Over 30 years ago, my in-laws decided to work with Lauren, and she successfully cultivated their investment over many years. Lauren augmented their portfolio while navigating three historic stock market crashes (‘01, ‘08, and ‘20). The goal was to create guaranteed retirement income and that is exactly what she did. Twenty-four years into retirement, my mother-in-law continues to reap the benefits of Lauren’s hard work. She is a caring, loving, honest person. My wife and I are proud to call Lauren our Financial Advisor as well. She is truly a pleasure to work with.
