Prospect Client Questions


  • I am retiring - what should I do with my 401k?

    When you retire or leave a company it is typically in one’s best interest to roll the 401k into an IRA. Once the rollover has been complete and you have all of your funds available in an IRA, your investment selection dramatically increases. 401ks are limited to the funds selected by the company offering the 401k plan making a Traditional IRA more advantageous. Please reach out to mcm@mcdonoughcapital.com if you are interested in opening up an IRA through McDonough Capital Management.

  • Can you manage my existing 401k/403b while I continue to work?

    Yes. Our team now offers 401k/403b management while you continue to work. Our software allows us to analyze your companies fund selection (View fund internal management fees and historic performance) and make the right investment decision for you. Ultimately we will be able to invest your 401k/403b at the appropriate risk level and mitigate the internal management fees you are already being charged.

  • What is a fiduciary? Are you a fiduciary?

    Our firm acts as an independent Registered Investment Advisor holding us to the standard of Fiduciary. A fiduciary is legally obligated to put the client’s interest first. Similar to that of a medical doctor, Registered Investment Advisor's have taken the same pledge to hold the client’s best interest to the highest degree. This allows for our goals and objectives to align perfectly with those of the client’s. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. 

    As an independent Registered Investment Advisor, we are held to the highest standard of care for our clients. We are legally obligated to avoid or disclose conflicts of interest and must only buy and sell investments that are the best fit for you. Our principal also operates as a Certified Financial Planner signifying an additional code of ethics that must be met. 

  • What is a CFP and why is this important?

    CFP stands for certified financial planner and is awarded to those who pass the CFP exams. Holders of the CFP designation are held to a higher standard and regulated by the CFP board. The CFP is not a required exam showing that the achievement for this designation is above and beyond what was required of our team. Becoming a CFP is considered one of the most stringent achievements for a financial advisor. To apply for the exam, you must have years of experience, numerous standardized exams, a formal collegiate level education, and demonstration of strong morals and ethics. We pride ourselves as a team held to these standards.
