 Donald E. Oates | CLU, ChFC, RTRP

  • Chartered Life Underwriter
  • Chartered Financial Consultant
  • Registered Tax Return Preparer
  • Registered Investment Advisor Agent
  • President of Whitehouse Financial Group
  • President of Lombard Agency, Inc. 

I have the distinction of being the first independent registered investment broker affiliated with Lombard Securities Incorporated. Having been in the financial planning business for the past 38 years, my current clients’ assets total over thirty million dollars.
 
Graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, in December of 1980, from the College of Business & Economics, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, I obtained an in-depth knowledge of insurance and investments. I realize now the value of an education and why parents should start saving early for college expenses. After college, I worked for the Internal Revenue Service, where I acquired extensive knowledge of the IRS tax code. Since financial planning involves many areas and disciplines that need to be incorporated, I feel this experience only enhanced my ability to give my clients further insight as to how to meet their financial objectives. To further my education, I obtained a Second Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting, in May of 1995, from the College of Business & Economics, Towson State University, Towson, MD.  Annually reviewing client accounts gives me the opportunity to show my clients how they can take advantage of tax saving strategies and increase their investment returns.  
  
My financial planning practice is broad-based including: financial planning for individuals and small businesses; recommendations of mutual funds, variable annuities, individual stocks & bonds, Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP/IRAs, Simple IRAs, Simple 401(K)s, Traditional 401(K)s, Section 125 plans; and various insurance plans, such as: universal life, substandard life, whole life, interest-sensitive life, term life, long-term care, home health care, fixed annuities, individual and group health insurance, Medicare supplement plans, and disability income insurance.  Specializing in pension rollovers and senior care issues. 
  
I meet all of my clients face to face, usually at their home to make it more convenient for them. I need to know where you are now, what your investment objectives are, and then I will be able to make recommendations for you. I am a strong believer in the results that can be achieved by knowing you, instead of guessing what you should have. I am eligible to transact investment business in all 50 States, but I am currently registered in the following States:
