YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL FOR LIFE

My name is Arun Lai. Welcome to my Web site. Please allow me to introduce myself . . .



As a financial professional of AXA Advisors LLC, and an active member of the community, I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures.



I provide financial products and services to individuals and small businesses, including asset allocation strategies, retirement funding, and estate planning strategies, annuity products, life insurance products, and mutual funds. Securities products and services are offered through AXA Advisors, LLC.



To stay on top of my field and develop my professional skills, I regularly attend industry training and certification programs. I have passed the exams for and hold the FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 registrations. Additionally, I am a Retirement Planning Specialist with AXA Advisors, based upon receipt of a Certificate in Retirement Planning from the Wharton School, University of Pennylvania.  I have also earned my Ohio Life, Health, and Variable Products Insurance licenses.



I am a graduate of The Doon School in India, and my academic achievements include a Bachelor of Arts degree from Delhi University.



My education, experience and professional association have fostered my practical approach to offering financial products and planning services to my clients. Rather than just recommending a hodgepodge of unrelated products, first I’ll consider your specific financial goals. Then, if it is suitable, as a registered representative of AXA Advisors, LLC and an insurance agent of AXA Network LLC, I’ll recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.



With over 30 years of business experience in Cincinnati, I have developed and maintained strong and honest relationships with clients, proven by a low attrition rate and high retention of repeat clients. Additionally, I have built and nurtured solid relationships with hundreds of high-level clients throughout the Greater Cincinnati business community.



Maintaining a strong sense of community and a solid professional foundation are very important to me. I am the Past President of the Covington Rotary Club, Charter President of the Exchange Club of N.E. Cincinnati, and the Past Chair of the Central Clinic Board of Directors. Founded in 1923 by United Way, this non-profit agency helps care for the underprivileged and indigent population of Cincinnati. Additionally, I currently serve as a member of the Ronald McDonald House Planned Giving Council, as a Board Member and Treasurer of the N.E. Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, and as a Board Member and Vice Chairman of the Masonic Learning Center for Children Inc. These learning centers have been created specifically for the purpose of providing free specialized training and tutoring to children who suffer from Dyslexia, and provides them with the skills and confidence they need to approach learning with eagerness and without fear.



My wife Beverly, son Chethan and I reside in Loveland, Ohio.



Thanks for visiting.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

Only 35% of Americans have a will, yet it's a relatively simple legal document that every adult should have, regardless of wealth or age. Dying without a will can lead to unwanted outcomes and potential problems for heirs. This article discusses the importance of a will and other estate conservation documents.

Investing in the Future

Due to the fiscal struggles of state governments, in-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities rose dramatically for the 2011-12 school year. The cost of private institutions also continues to increase. This article presents information on the cost of a college education and how a 529 plan may be a helpful savings vehicle.

New Opportunity Under the Federal Gift Tax

The 2010 Tax Relief Act raised the lifetime gift-tax exclusion to $5 million. This means it could be a good time to make the most of tax-free gift transfers. If so, it's important to understand the annual and lifetime gift exemption limits, as well as which gifts might not be subject to them.
