THE CORNERSTONES

USED TO BUILD YOUR ROCK SOLID RETIREMENT PLAN

In architecture, the “Cornerstone” is the first stone or stones set into place on which the building is constructed. In Christianity for example, Jesus is The Cornerstone. He is the foundation on which the entire Christian faith is built. Simply put, without Cornerstone(s), the “building” will inevitably come crashing down.

At CRS, we build personalized Rock-Solid Retirement Plans based on four cornerstones, each of which make a distinct contribution to the stability and longevity of your retirement.

Too often people come into our offices with either no plan at all, or one that is outdated, inefficient and ineffective. Their “retirement plan” is built on guesses, wishes and hoping for the best. In other words, their “retirement plan” is built on sand rather than the firm foundation that is created by the use of cornerstones.

On the following pages, we have laid out a brief description of the four cornerstones and the 5-step process we use to build your Rock-Solid Retirement Plan. Once complete, your plan can provide you with security, freedom, confidence, and peace of mind as you journey through retirement!

DEREK COLTON

PRESIDENT, INVESTMENT ADVISOR

Long-time radio & television host of the Sooner State Market Update, bestselling author, and President & Founder of Cornerstone Capital Management, Derek Colton enjoys helping clients from all walks of life to protect and grow their hard-earned retirement money.

Derek likes to “brag” that as a layman, he made every investing mistake known to man-some of them many times. As a young man, those costly mistakes encouraged Derek to educate himself on the intricacies of the financial markets and the pros and cons of various financial products and investment strategies. 

As a result of what he learned in the process, Derek was inspired to help others avoid the investing blunders he made early on. These experiences were ultimately the genesis of Cornerstone Capital Management, a retirement and investment planning firm. This gave Derek the opportunity to use his experience to assist his clients in the planning of, sustaining, and enjoying a secure retirement. 

Some of the strategies Derek employs allow for participation in market gains without the risks of market loses. A risk some of his clients would rather do without.

Derek, his wife of 40 years, Penny, their 5 daughters (yes, 5 daughters!), 3 sons-in-law and 7 grandchildren (and counting), all make their home in the Oklahoma City area, where Derek and Penny are active members of Henderson Hills Baptist Church.
