PROSPERITY ADVISERS, LLC

Investing with a Purpose. Goals Driven Investment Planning.

Message from Founders - Lisa & Daniel Barram

"Your life's work deserves a goal-based plan. With our Prosperity Advisers wealth management approach, you can invest with confidence and live your dreams.

"Whether your goal is wealth preservation, current or future income, capital growth, or a combination of all of them. We help you clarify your goals and build the path to get you where you want to be now and in the future."

Lisa and Daniel Barram, founders of Retirement Prosperity Group

After years of experience working with firms in both the investment and insurance fields, we felt that only a team who had the knowledge and ability to operate independently and offer both investments and insurance solutions would be able to offer complete retirement planning to clients.

We founded Retirement Prosperity Group and Prosperity Advisers, LLC to do just that.

Our Investment Philosophy

At Prosperity Advisers, we believe that your assets deserve a more comprehensive investment strategy. Investment strategies that work when you are accumulating wealth, in your working years, may no longer be appropriate as you near retirement. Or when you enter the distribution phase of your life, where you may be relying on your portfolio for income.

We come to this industry with a personal passion to deliver a different experience to families and individuals we serve, from radically transparent education and meeting processes to a true partnership in their planning and guidance.

Prosperity Advisers is a Registered Investment Adviser. An RIA is legally bound to work in your best interest. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, registered investment advisers are held to a fiduciary standard of care. By law, they must ensure that each investment recommendation they make is in your best interest.

That is why we founded Prosperity Advisers, LLC. Daniel Barram and Austin Benoff are our Investment Adviser Representatives. Larry Swedroe and Joe Zidle are our Investment Strategists.

Joe Zidle
INVESTMENT STRATEGIST

Our investment approach is strengthened by the perspectives of seasoned Investment Strategists Larry Swedroe and Joe Zidle.

Together, they bring complementary expertise in evidence-based investing, macroeconomic research, asset allocation, and market strategy. Their research and insights help Prosperity Advisers evaluate opportunities and risks through multiple lenses, challenge conventional market thinking, and maintain a disciplined approach to portfolio decisions.

This depth of investment expertise supports our advisers in building strategies designed around each client's long-term objectives rather than short-term market noise.

Private Markets and Personalized Strategy

In today's ever-changing and sometimes volatile market we believe that the outdated "equity to bond" asset allocations may no longer be enough to achieve client goals. The investment landscape has changed. Private markets are accessible to qualified investors and offer investment opportunities most firms are not yet talking about. We believe that Private Markets may help clients achieve enhanced financial outcomes.

Whether your investment goal is preserving principal, maximizing income, or accumulating capital, our investment team will design a strategy to help achieve your long-term investment goals.

Tax-Aware Investing for Business Owners

For many of the business owners we work with, the majority of their net worth is tied up in one place: the business itself. That concentration of risk is something most of us would never accept in a portfolio, yet it's exactly where many owners find themselves, after years of building something successful.

We believe tax-aware investing for business owners should not start the year you decide to sell. The decisions that shape whether or not a transition is tax-efficient, from entity structure, to retirement plan design, to how and when assets are gifted, are often made five or ten years before any sale takes place. The earlier we start that conversation, the more options remain on the table.

We are not your CPA or your attorney, and we do not provide tax or legal advice. What we do is work alongside them, making sure your investment strategy, your tax picture, and your legal structure are all moving in the same direction. Too often we see these pieces handled in isolation, not coordinated, and out of step with each other. Our role is to help you see the whole picture.

Planning for a Business Sale or Ownership Transition

Every business owner's exit looks different. For some, it's a full sale to an outside buyer. For others, it's a partial recapitalization, a transition to family, or a sale to the people who helped build the business alongside them. Whichever path fits your goals, we believe the investment and income planning behind it deserves the same care as the sale itself.

Long before a transition happens, we like to ask a simple question: what does the business need to be worth for you to live the retirement you have in mind? That answer often reveals how much runway is needed, and it shapes how we help you prepare, not just for the sale, but for what comes after it.

Because, for us, the sale itself is not the finish line. A large check does not mean much if it cannot generate the income you're used to. Our work is in helping you model what your proceeds need to produce, so the transition out of your business becomes the beginning of the next chapter, not a question mark.

A Team Approach to Your Business and Your Wealth

Whether your goal is preserving what you have built, planning tax-aware investment strategies around a future transition, or simply making sure your portfolio and your business decisions are working together, we want to be part of that conversation early.

We believe the biggest mistakes we see are rarely about the numbers themselves. They are about timing and coordination, decisions made without the full picture in view. That is exactly the gap we are here to close, working alongside your CPA and attorney so that when the time comes, you are ready.
