EDUCATION FUNDING

Our version of Retirement and Distribution Planning is built on a foundation of principles to ensure you have the best opportunity for a successful retirement.

Goal-Focused

Prudent investment advice is goal-focused and planning driven; distinguished from market-focused and current events driven.

Debt-Free

All debts should be paid off by retirement.

Cash Flow Planning

The cash flow of the financial plan should dictate your portfolio allocation and optimal distribution strategy.

Maximize Social Security

Retirees should maximize their Social Security benefits as an integral part of their distribution strategy.

Disciplined Approach

Market timing is not part of a disciplined, goal-focused investment plan.

Tax Strategies

Optimize tax savings throughout retirement through proactive intra-year tax management (tax coupon for the future) and leveraging low tax rates on income and capital gains*.

Recreate Paycheck

Retirement paychecks increase client confidence by providing permission to spend.

Retiree Mindset

The retirement distribution plan should account for an increasing awareness of market volatility and the significant impact of taxes paid from your portfolio.

Diversify

Portfolios should be diversified not only by asset classes but also by tax characteristics.
