Reid Abedeen
Investment Advisor Representative
Reid Abedeen is the managing partner at Safeguard Investment Advisory Group, LLC. As an investment advisor, Reid has helped retirees for over 18 years with issues such as insurance, long-term care planning, financial services, asset protection and many other areas.
Upon receiving his degree in business administration, he began the first leg of his career in the banking industry. Always looking for ways to help the client, Reid realized that institutions were limited in the personal assistance that they could offer families. Believing that the client and their family should come first, he decided to go on his own in order to give the proper help and guidance that many families need in determining their retirement goals.
As an investment advisor, Reid’s primary focus is to get a complete picture and understanding of what the client is looking to achieve personally and financially as well as estate planning for their heirs. Additionally, a plan of action does not mean forcing ideas on a client, but assuring the plan they have in place is sound and on track to meet those goals and objectives. Reid believes every individual should be well-informed about retirement options, and he shares his knowledge and experience as a regular contributor to Kiplinger.
Reid holds California life-only and accident and health licenses (#0C78700), holds a Series 65 license and is and is registered as an Investment Advisor Representative with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

Dennis P. Notchick, CFP®
Investment Advisor & Certified Financial Planner
Dennis started his financial career at Bernstein Global Wealth Management in Houston. As a senior associate, he helped managed 200+ client relationships invested in global stocks, bonds and hedge funds, with assets under management of $1.3 billion. As a result of the stock market crash of 2008, Dennis learned the importance of advanced risk, income and estate tax planning, strategies that were critical to his clients’ long-term success.
Dennis worked closely with trust and estate attorneys on advanced estate planning strategies such as GRATs (grantor retained annuity trusts) and ILITs (irrevocable life insurance trusts) to help clients save thousands of dollars in estate and gift taxes.
In 2009, Dennis attended Rice University in Houston for the educational portion of the Certified Financial Planner program and was certified in May 2010. After obtaining his certification, Dennis had the opportunity to work with TD Life Services consulting individuals and families with life insurance planning, which included tax-free income and retirement planning, and potential “hybrid” long-term care planning.
Dennis was then recruited to Altegris Investments, where he helped his clients utilize low-correlation hedge fund strategies to help diversify and lower portfolio correlation to the broader indexes. Dennis enjoyed working in the niche arena of hedge funds but wanted to handle more aspects of the financial “big picture” and also become independent in order to provide the best value and client service available. It was that desire that prompted Dennis to launch Clearsight Planning.
In June 2015, Dennis joined Safeguard Investment Advisory Group, where he now has the unique opportunity to offer his clients the service of an independent firm in partnership with an established and well-respected financial entity.
Dennis holds California life-only and accident and health licenses (#0H74541), Is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and is registered as an Investment Advisor Representative with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
