We are Chris Szulc, Art Mocabee and Craig Taylor. Welcome to our site.

As financial professionals with AXA Advisors, LLC, and active members of the Greater Hartford, Connecticut communities, we focus on the financial planning process as an organized way to collect and analyze information on a client's total financial situation; to identify and establish specific financial goals; and to formulate, implement a comprehensive plan to work toward those goals.

To stay on top of our field and to further develop our professional skills, we regularly attend industry training and certification programs. Chris has over 20 years experience in the financial services industry and Art has over 30 years in the industry. We began working together in 1998. Craig Taylor joined the practice in February of 2007.

Chris graduated from the United Stated Merchant Marine Academy with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering and held a number of positions in engineering management before entering the financial services industry in 1987.

Art graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education and taught in the Bristol, CT. school system before entering the financial services industry in 1976.

Craig graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science. Craig worked in State and Federal Government and was elected to the CT House of Representatives from Bristol 1985 to 1993. He entered the financial services industry in 2007.

Our education, experience and professional affiliations have fostered our practical approach to offering financial advice and planning services to our clients. Rather than just recommending a hodgepodge of unrelated products, first we consider your specific financial goals and investment objectives. Working together, we can help you to formulate a strategy to address those goals. Then, if it is suitable, as registered representatives of AXA Advisors, LLC and agents of AXA Network, LLC, we can recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.

Chris lives in Avon, CT with his wife Carol. Art and his wife Nancy are residents of Bristol, CT and Craig lives in Canton, CT with his wife Nancy and son Ryan.

Protection from a Range of Liability Claims

It's projected that American companies will face $183 billion in tort costs in 2011, and $152 billion of that will land on the books of small businesses. Fortunately, there are several forms of business liability insurance that can help offset these unforeseen costs.

HOT TOPIC: Current Economic Conditions and the Prospect for Inflation

Inflation jumped up to 3.2% in April. That’s still below the 50-year average but it may be little consolation for anyone who has been to a gas station or a grocery store recently.

Tax Law Keeps S Corporations Attractive

S corporations are more common than C corporations and partnerships, perhaps because they are not subject to the corporate tax. Instead, profits and losses flow directly to shareholders, who are currently taxed at lower individual income tax rates. Read why reorganizing as an S corporation may be a smart move.

Evaluating Life Insurance Needs

It's a good idea for people to evaluate their life insurance coverage to help ensure it keeps pace with their needs. Not only do major life events affect the amount of coverage that may be needed, but inflation can reduce the purchasing power of the death benefit and a greater benefit may be needed to cover estate taxes and other debts.
