AXA Advisors

Retirement Planning Specialist

My name is Jim Bertucci. Welcome to my Web site.

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

Since the beginning of my career in 1988, I have regularly attended industry training and certification programs, to stay on top of my field and develop my professional skills. This includes completing the curriculum and passing the rigorous exams for the:

 

  • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM (CFP®)
  • Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) professional designation of the American College
  • Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) professional designation of the American College
  • FINRA registrations: Series 6, Series 7, Series 63 and Series 65
  • Wharton certificate in Retirement Planning

My academic achievements also include a Bachelor of Science in Business from Northern Illinois University.

My education, experience and professional affiliations have fostered my practical approach to offering financial advice and planning services to my clients. Rather than just recommending a hodgepodge of unrelated products, first I’ll consider your specific financial goals and investment objectives. Next, by working together, we can formulate a strategy to help you work toward your goals. Then, as a registered representative of AXA Advisors, LLC, and an agent of AXA Network and its subsidiaries, I’ll recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.

Maintaining a strong sense of community and a solid professional foundation are very important to me. My community activities and professional affiliations include:

  • Board Director and past President, Arlington Heights Dollars for Scholars
  • Board Director and past President, Arlington Heights Crime Stoppers
  • Member of the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce and past Vice President and Board Director
  • Member of the Arlington Heights Rotary Noon Club, and past Board Director 
  • Past President and past Board Director, Arlington Heights Board of Library Trustees
  • Member of the Arlington Heights Historical Society and past Vice President and Board Director
  • Member of the Financial Planning Association
  • Charter member of P.A.C.E. (Professional Association in Continuing Education)

My wife Carol and I live in Arlington Heights with our two children.
