Our Process

Castelli Financial & Insurance Services is proud to be certified to offer the Macro Asset Perspective® process. Through this unique educational approach, they can help you better prepare for retirement. Whatever stage of life you are in, whether you are working to grow your assets or your assets are working to provide your retirement income, you are likely to glean value from the principles, processes and strategies found in the Macro Asset Perspective®.

The Macro Asset Perspective® helps you implement a balanced approach to your personal accumulation and income combining time-tested principles of risk management with sensible strategies for long-term tax-reduction giving you the potential to increase your net spendable income in retirement.

While this process was originally developed for a physician's network on the west coast and high-tech engineers in the Silicon Valley, it has been successfully adopted by people of all walks of life and taught at workshops for employees at a number of Fortune 500 companies.

Introduction

Castelli Financial & Insurance Services financial professionals use a proprietary process called MAP, or Macro Asset Perspective®. In this process, our professionals deal with protection of assets, accumulation of wealth, building retirement income that cannot be outlived and leaving a lasting legacy.

The Process

During our process, first we introduce the scope of the work that we do and explain how New York Life provides products and services solutions to our clients. From there, we engage our clients in a Discovery process to uncover their objectives and current financial state. We then do a thorough Analysis of the Discovery Data and engage our team of professionals to develop a Summary Strategy and Recommendations. We then educate our clients as to their options and help them take action to implement the strategy. For many of our clients, they will then move from the MAP Foundations process to the full MAP, which more deals with the accumulation and placement of assets. Our goal is to develop lifetime partnerships with our clients to add value for them.

Our Role

In this process, we act as a Problem-Solving Coordinator for our clients. We interact with the client’s team of professionals, develop action items and follow-up on those items to ensure that the strategy is implemented.

Digging Into the MAP

The 12 green boxes in the image to the right represent the foundation of risk management strategies. From there, our certified MAP Professionals can create a more robust asset allocation model of your current assets and cash flow.

Juliette Castelli-Kolev was chosen as one of just a few financial professionals in California to receive this recognition in 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are selected by an independent research firm based on various qualitative and quantitative data. You can learn more about SHOOK Research’s methodology here.

Neither SHOOK nor Forbes receives any compensation in exchange for placement on its Top Financial Security Professional (FSP) rankings (including the Best-In-State Financial Security Professional rankings), which are determined independently (see methodology). FSP refers to professionals who are properly licensed to sell life insurance and annuities. FSPs may also hold other credentials and licenses which would allow them to offer investments and securities products through those licenses. The ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures learned through telephone, virtual and in-person interviews to measure best practices, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as assets under management, sales figures, and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and these professionals rarely have audited performance reports. Individuals must carefully choose the right FSP for their own situation and perform their own due diligence. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help individuals choose the right FSP and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. For more information, please see www.SHOOKresearch.com. SHOOK is a registered trademark of SHOOK Research, LLC.
