Physician Wealth Management

What does wealth management for physicians involve that a generalist misses?

Wealth management for physicians is mostly what anyone needs from a fiduciary — sound investing and protecting what you earn. Two things land differently for a doctor: the retirement-plan choices that shift depending on whether you’re employed or own your practice, and the life and disability coverage most advisors aren’t licensed to handle. As a doctor financial advisor, Andrew Eddy works with physicians, dentists, and other medical professionals on the investments and the decisions behind a doctor’s income.

Retirement-plan choices that fit your situation

Employed or practice owner

Employed physicians and practice owners have different tools — a 403(b) and 457 on one side, a 401(k) and profit-sharing on the other. The point isn’t an exotic strategy; it’s making sure the accounts you already have are set up and funded in a sensible order for where you actually work, and coordinated with your CPA where the tax questions get specific.

Insurance handled by your advisor, not handed off

The insurance side

Most financial advisors aren’t licensed to advise on insurance, so the life and disability coverage tied to your income gets passed to a separate agent. Andrew handles it himself.

Physician disability insurance, in depth

Do you own your practice, or are you employed?

The answer changes a lot of what follows — how you save, how you’re taxed, what your options even are. Two physicians at the same income can need almost opposite plans.

Practice owners & partners

You run the business as well as the medicine

Owning the practice opens up savings options an employee doesn’t have — and an eventual sale or succession to plan around.

Employed & hospital-based

Your pay and benefits come from a system

The work is making the most of what the hospital or group offers you, and filling the gaps it leaves behind.

Common questions from physicians

Two things differ for a physician: the retirement-plan choices that shift depending on whether you’re employed or own your practice, and the life and disability coverage most advisors aren’t licensed to handle — Andrew is. The rest is coordinating the pieces and working alongside your CPA and attorney.

If you enjoy managing it yourself and have the time, you may not need to. Where an advisor earns their keep is implementation and accountability: doing the work, coordinating the pieces, and catching what a general article can’t know about your situation — your actual compensation, your policy’s real fine print, your spouse’s accounts. Many physicians know what to do and still want someone to do it with them and stay accountable for it.

Look for an independent fiduciary who works with physicians, holds verifiable credentials, and understands the decisions specific to a physician’s career. Ask how they’re compensated, whether they’re held to a fiduciary standard, and whether they coordinate with your CPA and attorney. Our guide, the 5 Biggest Mistakes When Choosing a Financial Advisor, walks through what to ask.
