First, we’re naming it an “eMag” (short for “electronic magazine”) to better reflect the magazine-style diversity of articles you will see from month to month. In addition to useful financial planning information and market commentary from May-Investments, you will find articles about local events and businesses, things to do, travel opportunities, a calendar of upcoming events, and other topics of interest to people in the Grand Junction region who are planning or enjoying their retirement.
“We want to talk about more things of interest – broader than the market focus we’ve had in the past,” says Doug May, owner and chief investment officer for May-Investments. “It’s a reflection of our desire to be more than just the premier portfolio manager in the area. We want to help people grow in their retirement and enjoy their retirement.”
The eMag will be delivered via email on the second Tuesday of each month. It will contain links to blog posts and articles of interest to May-Investments clients and others.
“It’s not just for clients only,” Doug says. “It’s for clients, friends of the firm, and anybody in or near retirement.”
Readers of the eMag are encouraged to forward the email to other people who might be interested in financial planning for retirement or other topics covered in the magazine. In fact, for every new eMag subscriber who signs up through Nov. 15, 2010, May-Investments will contribute $5 to the Western Colorado Community Foundation, an organization that builds and manages charitable endowment funds to benefit community organizations in the region(see related article in this edition of the eMag). People can subscribe to the eMag by filling out a brief form at http://www.fund-scout.com/.
The introduction of the eMag goes hand-in-hand with a new focus of May-Investments to create events that help clients enjoy their retirement. Traditionally, May-Investments’ events have been connected to economic updates. Those updates will continue, but clients can expect some extra opportunities throughout the year.
“We want to open it up and just have some client events that are fun to do,” Doug says.
An example of such events is an exclusive appearance by Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson scheduled for Sept. 16 at Cross Orchards Living History Farm. The private event for May-Investments clients is a prelude to the 2010 Two Rivers Chautauqua, which will feature several actors portraying personalities from the Civil War era (see related article in this edition of the eMag).
“We think our clients and friends of the firm will enjoy the new eMag,” Doug says.
