About Stephen Husten

The greatest financial risk of our time is how to provide for a retirement which lasts for 30 years or longer. I focus my practice on strategies that help my clients feel comfortable that they will not run out of money in retirement. I also focus on protection against market losses, health care costs, adequate liquidity, and estate planning decisions before and during retirement.I enjoy performing music, playing hockey, cycling, and spending time with loved ones. I currently reside in the east metro with Patti, my significant other and good friend since the age of 12. I have two children I love dearly and of whom I am very proud.Stephen Husten is authorized to conduct life insurance and securities business in Minnesota and may be licensed in other states.

Experience

1. Financial Advisor

   Midwest Secure Retirement

   Jun 2017 — Present · Minneapolis, MN, US

   As part of Midwest Secure Retirement (MSR), I employ an approach that gives you a personalized road map that helps balance financial growth and risk. By focusing on the income your assets must generate in retirement, we can tactically align growth potential and risk reduction.I grew up in a military family and lived in many states before settling in St. Paul. I started my career as a financial advisor at IDS Financial services in 1991, where I spent 14 years working with families and small businesses. I earned my ChFC® designation in 2001. In 2005, I was offered a position at Woodbury Financial Services and sold my practice. This led to leadership positions at Woodbury Financial, Ameriprise Financial, and Portico Benefits Services. My heart led me back to working with clients, and in 2017 I joined Midwest Secure Retirement.
