Rick Jackson of AXA Advisors, LLC & AXA Equitable

 

Welcome to my web site, I hope you find it helpful!  Feel free to view the many informative articles, and use any of the helpful financial planning calculators.  You may also log into your individual accounts, to check account balances and retrieve service forms.  Finally, you may also contact me regarding your account or other questions you might have.
 
I thoroughly enjoy helping people organize and simplify their financial goals and objectives.  I take pride in helping clients figure out what you want to accomplish financially and what the best way to achieve those aspirations.  I spend over half my time working closely with local school systems, at the district level, including individual teachers and staff.  The remainder of my time is spent planning with individual clients and families.
 
I have been with AXA Advisors / AXA-Equitable since 1993.  I am a graduate of Western Michigan University, with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Communications with a Business minor.  I attended an Executive Education Program at The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.  Through this program, I obtained the title of Retirement Planning Specialist.  I have obtained my Series 6, 7, 63 and Life & Health Licenses.  With these licenses, I am qualified to discuss and recommend: Fixed-Income & Equity Investments, Investment & Advisory Accounts, IRAs, 592 Plans, Life Insurance, Annuities, Disability and Long Term Care Insurance.
 
Away from the office, I enjoy sports of all varieties, which includes watching, participating and coaching my kids.  I have coached my two children in almost every season they have participated, which includes soccer, baseball, softball and basketball.  I have loved every minute of it!
 

My office is conveniently located in Troy, MI, just off of I-75 and Crooks Road.  Along with my wife, Angel, we reside in Rochester Hills, MI with our two children, Abby and Nico.

HOT TOPIC: Will Federal Reserve Tactics Help the Ailing U.S. Economy?

This article looks at policy tools that the Federal Reserve has used in the past and may use going forward in its attempts to spur economic growth. It also explains the possible implications of a long-term, low-interest-rate environment for investors, savers, and retirees.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

Giving Strategies That Can Give Back

Americans gave more than $290 billion to charity in 2010, despite the slow economy. About 73% of charitable donations came directly from individuals.
