Lesa Collins

Envelope

Background & Family Life

For nearly three decades, Lesa has been married to the love of her life, Mark, forming a bond that has stood the test of time. They have three wonderful daughters, all now happily married, and she is blessed with seven grandchildren. Recently, Lesa celebrated the joy of becoming a great grandmother, a milestone that has brought immeasurable happiness to her life.

Lesa’s journey began in Dallas, where she and Mark first crossed paths, sparking a connection that led them to build a loving home in Canyon Creek, Richardson. Within this nurturing environment, Lesa has also embraced the role of a devoted dog mom to Molly Anne, a golden retriever who brings a smile to her face every day.

“Lesa Collins is a retirement planner with a heart full of compassion and a genuine dedication to serving others. She has a deep understanding of what it takes to guide RPOA clients through their retirement journey while providing them with excelling service and sage guidance.” – Ken Moraif

Business Philosophy

Lesa believes in the golden rule: treating others as she would want to be treated. She says this is her guiding principle that is at the core of her approach to both life and work. She strives to do her best for people with the hope that they will reciprocate the same care and consideration in return.

Lesa’s passion for assisting others stems from her personal experiences. Her mother’s battle with MS has given her firsthand knowledge of relying on caretakers during vulnerable moments in life. Lesa says this experience has inspired her to be a reliable and supportive figure for her clients, especially during their retirement years when they may be navigating a new chapter of life.

Lesa says working with people of retirement age has become her true calling and that the relationships she builds with her clients are the heartbeat of her profession. Lesa values communication and her goal is to speak with her clients in a way that resonates with them and is easily understood, making complex financial matters more approachable and less daunting.

Lesa endeavors to provide the best care and guidance with empathy and kindness to those who place their trust in her. She is driven by the belief that everyone deserves to have a caring and dependable advisor during their retirement journey. Through her work, she hopes to empower her clients to achieve financial peace of mind.

RPOA Advisors, Inc. (d/b/a Retirement Planners of America ) (“Retirement Planners of America”, “RPOA”) is an SEC registered investment adviser with a primary business location in Plano, Texas. Registration as an investment adviser is not an endorsement by securities regulators and does not imply that Retirement Planners of America has attained a certain level of skill, training, or ability. The “Invest and Protect Strategy” (the “Strategy”) refers to a strategy that Retirement Planners of America fundamentally employs for its clients. Retirement Planners of America previously employed a similar strategy that it referred to as the “buy, hold, and sell” strategy or “buy hold, and protect” strategy. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, current or prospective clients should not assume that the future performance of the Strategy, any specific investment, or any other investment strategy that Retirement Planners of America recommends will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. References to recommendations made under the Strategy that predate 2011; and statements such as and similar to: “we told our clients to be out of the market in 2007 and 2008,” “we told our clients to get back into the market in 2009,” and “clients that followed our advice were out of the market in 2008;” refer to strategies collectively employed and recommendations collectively made by Retirement Planners of America’s principals while employed at Eagle Strategies, LLC., and also at Cambridge Investment Research Advisors, Inc. Three of the five principals remain as principals today, including the Retirement Planners of America’s founder, Ken Moraif. Retirement Planners of America has been employing the Strategy since its inception in 2011. Therefore, any references to Retirement Planners of America’s performance or its investment advisory recommendations predating 2011 generally refer to recommendations made by Retirement Planners of America’s principals at the respective other firms described above. Like all investment strategies, the Strategy is not guaranteed. It is possible that it can incorrectly predict a bear market (generally accepted as a 20% drop in a market index), which has, in-fact, happened before at Retirement Planners of America and affected its clients accordingly. When the sell / “protect” portion of the Strategy is implemented, affected investors will incur transaction costs and taxable accounts will incur tax consequences. However, when implementing that portion of the Strategy, Retirement Planners of America believes that the benefit of avoiding bear markets outweighs the burden of these transaction costs and tax consequences.
