    History
    After graduating from Georgetown University with a degree in Nursing, Patti worked in the oncology unit as an ICU nurse before channeling her compassion for others to work as a financial planner. Her intellectual capacity is as boundless as her energy, and in 1990 Patti founded
    Key Financial, Inc. while also raising four children. Like most startup businesses, it was small—just Patti and a part time employee that worked out of a converted laundry room just off the kitchen. A combination of interpersonal skills and keen attention to detail has helped Key Financial grow to the award-winning firm it is today.

    • Using the Wrong Benchmark
      Don’t compare your return to a benchmark or try to beat the S&P 500. The return you need to meet your goals IS the benchmark. You meet them or you don’t…over time. If a portion of the portfolio is underperforming, understand why and whether it could be temporary. Rebalance and make course corrections to align it to the original plan design. Eventually, with some attention and tweaking from time to time, this process should bring returns to the expected level needed to meet your objectives. This is the only thing you should worry about.
    • Focusing on Returns Instead of Outcomes
      It is not uncommon for people to review their portfolio and ask: “What were the returns?” This is the wrong thing to focus on. What you want to know is, “Will this portfolio provide enough cash flow to cover all of my expenses until I die?” That is the only true metric of a successful strategy. If a portfolio is not covering all of your expenses, it is not doing its job, no matter how impressive the return.
