A little business mixed with paradise 🌺🚁

We’re proud to recognize two of our Partners who recently attended an exclusive Top Producers meeting in Hawaii. This incredible experience brought together high-performing professionals from across the country for collaboration, learning, and celebration.

From insightful meetings to unforgettable helicopter views of Hawaii’s coastline, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes, the trip was both inspiring and well deserved.

Most importantly, this recognition reflects the dedication these advisors bring to their clients every single day. Congratulations Ken & Josh on an amazing achievement — and thank you for continuing to represent excellence at the highest level.

KED’s sold-out Swing Toward Hope Golf Tournament raised $70,000+ to support youth and families impacted by addiction.

Thanks to sponsors like BearingStone Wealth and the generosity of donors and participants, these funds will fuel KED’s free prevention, education, and recovery services.

A powerful reminder of what community can achieve together. 💚

We’re proud to support our community in meaningful ways. BearingStone Wealth recently co-sponsored an event for the Family Justice Center of Erie County, raising over $38,000 to fund the creation of a new children’s room at the Center. This special space will provide comfort, safety, and a sense of normalcy for children whose families are seeking support during incredibly difficult times. It’s more than just a room - it’s a safe haven filled with hope. Thanks to Karen Meltser (we will tag Karen in the post) for all of her help and Park Country Club (we will tag Park Country Club in the post) and Jason Frese (we will tag Jason in the post) for the amazing venue and exquisitely executed party. Together, we’re building more than financial futures—we’re helping build a stronger, safer community. 👉 Learn more about the Family Justice Center and their incredible work: https://fjcsafe.org ://s3.amazonaws.com/static.contentres.com/media/SocialPostImage/variantSize/16af9677-0d1a-4c14-a758-c9de29361db9.jpganning

Weekend adventure alert!
Josh and Ken, swapped suits for rods and hit the waters of Florida in search of the legendary tarpon—and they weren’t disappointed. Ken hooked a 6-foot, 150-plus pound monster, and with some serious teamwork (and a little sweat), Josh jumped in to help reel it in.
From boardrooms to the boat deck, these two know what it takes to get the job done. Here's to chasing big wins - and even bigger fish - together.

One common mistake people can make when naming beneficiaries is to name someone who is "unavailable," such as a minor or a family member with special needs. To avoid issues of unavailability, consider naming a trust as the beneficiary, instead of the individual.
