The above depicts a possible prioritization of financial decisions and should not be construed as personalized investment advice. You should always speak with a financial professional about your unique financial circumstances and needs before making any investment in securities.

Each client’s investment objectives and situations vary, and no two clients may experience the same performance results or other outcomes as the other.

Why we do it
  • We understand what you’re working toward.

    In exchange for working at one of the biggest tech companies in the world, you give up your time and a lot of your personal life. You believe in your work, and that’s why you give it your all. But a sacrifice of that scale needs a pay off.

  • Hiking Balance

    We know you deserve a better balance.

    Get outside for a hike. Read instead of checking work emails. Spend more quality time with your parents. When every moving part of your finances is handled by Mariner Wealth Advisors, it’s easier to live a balanced life and give equal attention to what matters.

  • We want you to make the most of your time at Apple.

    While the high stakes, fast-paced work environment will lead to some of your most rewarding work, your future plans may look different. Take advantage of every opportunity you’re given for as long as you stay with Apple.
