Good News Financial & Investment Advisors, LLC

Good News Financial & Investment Advisors provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan services to a mix of individuals, trusts/estates, charitable organizations and corporate or business clients. The firm also offers ERISA-plan advisory work (including limited scope 3(21) fiduciary services for 401(k), 403(b), pension and profit‑sharing plans) and holds public seminars and workshops on investing and financial topics.

The firm manages client portfolios on a discretionary basis and routinely uses sub‑advisors and third‑party model providers, including a co‑advisor arrangement with an outside RIA, to implement proprietary and model‑based strategies. It can review and rebalance “held‑away” retirement accounts through a third‑party platform, documents client objectives and risk profiles, and conducts at least quarterly reviews of managed accounts.

Distinctive features in the brochure include stated affiliation with insurance businesses and disclosure that the firm’s principal is a licensed insurance agent who spends material time on those activities and may receive commissions, a conflict the brochure describes and discloses to clients. The combination of ERISA/pension consulting, explicit corporate/business client work, use of outside sub‑advisors and co‑advisor fee arrangements, and the firm’s public seminars (and use of testimonials in its advertising materials) are noted as practices that are less common among independent advisers of this size.
