    Retirement Planning

    We understand the unique needs and challenges investors face who are retired or about to retire. It’s important to understand how you will structure your retirement income, how long your income will last, and which sources of income you should tap into first to manage taxes and manage income potential.

    Through comprehensive planning, we can help you prioritize your goals and develop a strategy that seeks to preserve and grow your retirement assets. Whether you are in the accumulation phase or have already retired, a comprehensive strategy is critical to helping you:

    • Manage retirement income needs, desires and expenses
    • Maintain lifestyle choices and priorities
    • Ensure that long-term goals and aspirations are funded for travel, healthcare, estate planning, charitable giving and other goals

    We can assist you with the following retirement plans and services*:

    • Traditional IRAs
    • Roth IRAs
    • 401(k) Rollover Education
    • SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) IRA
    • SEP-IRA (Simplified Employee Pension)
    • Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans

    Education Planning

    Whether you’re paying tuition costs now or saving for a future goal, it’s important to determine if your education strategy is compatible with managing your retirement income and related financial objectives. Tax considerations and retirement income needs must be weighed and evaluated before choosing a specific strategy. It’s important to remember that while education expenses can be funded through borrowing, retirement expenses cannot.

    529 College Savings Plans

    529 College Savings Plans can be a good choice for many families seeking to set aside funds for future education expenses on a tax-deferred basis. As independent advisors, we are under no pressure to recommend specific education savings programs or proprietary products of any type. Our only concern is which program is suitable for your needs.

    Prior to investing in a 529 Plan investors should consider whether the investor's or designated beneficiary's home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state's qualified tuition program. Withdrawals used for qualified expenses are federally tax free. Tax treatment at the state level may vary. Please consult with your tax advisor before investing.
