AXA Advisors

Ilyas Akbar

Welcome to my web site.

As a financial professional for AXA Advisors, LLC, I assist individuals and businesses in the development and implementation of strategies to help meet their long-term financial objectives.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting at Syracuse University and hold a professional designation as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).*  Prior to joining AXA Advisors I was in public accounting with KPMG LLP.

My educational background, and professional experience has driven me to use a systematic approach in working with my clients to determine their financial goals and investment objectives. The next step is to create a strategy to address these goals and objectives. Then as a registered representative of AXA Advisors, LLC, I will recommend the appropriate products and services to execute the strategy. My goal is to empower my clients with the information they require to make sound financial decisions.

In my spare time I like to travel, exercise, and spend time with my family. In addition I mentor two high school students, and serve on the advisory board of the Empowered Mentee Family, a not-for-profit organization.

Take a moment to browse through some of the features of my web site, which includes helpful financial calculators and newsletters on a variety of topics.

Thank you for visiting my web site and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Retirement Is No Reason for a Portfolio to Stop Working

New research has revealed that nearly 90% of retirement income results from investment returns that are generated after the funds are socked away. This highlights the need to remain diligent when it comes to managing and monitoring investments during the retirement years.

Recapping Market Capitalization

The blurring of lines between large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies is an indication that it may be time to evaluate whether your portfolio holdings have shifted toward or away from your investment objectives.

Defend Your Retirement from Inflation

Over long periods, inflation can pose a significant threat to quality of life for retirees, primarily because it reduces the purchasing power of their retirement incomes.
