Northwestern Mutual and Forbes launch the new Fact & Comment page

Forbes and Northwestern Mutual partner to launch a new page titled Fact & Comment on the Forbes.com Web site, offering expert insights from leaders in business and beyond.

Go to Fact & Comment page

Many people look back on their lives with regret; not for the things they have done, but for the things they have left undone. They find they are more successful than they thought they would be and saved less than they intended. They find themselves in situations that are more complex and less predictable than they anticipated.

That is where I come in. I take the time to get to know you and your preferences. I can help you anticipate and prepare for the best—and worst scenarios. The relationship I establish with you enables me to focus on your needs—what you want for your family and what you are currently doing.

My Mission

It is Brett Ketvertis' commitment and belief that who he is as a financial advisor has a substantial impact on the level of service and quality of the financial counsel Brett provides to clients. 

As a Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual, my mission is to engage with clients in a financial security-based process.  I strive to ask the tough questions to get to the core of a client's dreams and goals.  I then create a financial plan to allow a client to see how I can assist them in achieving their goals, and then recommend and implement the necessary steps to get there.  Throughout the process, I truly recommend what is in their best interest to further strengthen their trust in me.  I also hold clients accountable to follow through with what they say is important; whether it is something I can directly assist with or putting them in touch with the right advisors in areas that I cannot.

Northwestern Mutual Financial Network

We provide you with access to a nationwide network of representatives, advisors and specialists—people who have invested their time and developed their talents to become experts and they have the knowledge that comes only from experience.

What’s paramount is to have a flexible approach with complementary solutions. We strive to call on the full capabilities of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, providing our clients with financial services that allow them to feel assured that their intentions have been understood and their needs are being addressed.
