Financial security is often a major objective in each of our lives. You try to do what's right for those you care about, but the wrong financial decision can often undermine the best of intentions. That's where Jim Houghton comes in.

For over 16 years, Jim's clients have chosen to work with him because he respects them and is committed to doing what is best for them in all circumstances.  What this means is that Jim helps his clients to connect with what they deeply care about and introduces them to a process that motivates them to take action. The benefit is that Jim's clients can have the confidence and security that comes with taking steps to accomplish their personal financial goals.

Let Jim Houghton help you achieve a secure financial future.

Jim has been actively helping clients in the Muscatine, Iowa area.

My Mission

The relationship a network representative establishes with a client speaks to the character and integrity of the representative and the value of the relationship to the client. James E. Houghton's mission as a Financial Advisor is to give you insight into how he helps his clients achieve a secure financial future.

"My passion is to develop many enduring relationships with people who want to prepare for their futures. For those that will enter this relationship, they can expect first class service and guidance for a lifetime and to be challenged to make decisions utilizing innovative solutions so that when events happen they will have pride and comfort knowing all has been accomplished.

To do this, I take time to listen to your wants and dreams in order to understand what it is you really value and desire to accomplish. I will then coordinate your current needs with innovative solutions to help you make decisions to accomplish your goals. Most important to you is that we will get back together often to make sure that your needs have not changed to ensure you are on track or make adjustments, if necessary. All of this with the purpose of allowing you the freedom to spend more time with your family, friends, or doing what it is you like best."
