Your Path Into Retirement

1
Step 1 Data Gathering

Once you've decided to move forward, we'll request crucial documents such as your financial statements and the prior year's tax return. These documents are essential for a thorough financial analysis.

2
Step 2 What Does Retirement Look Like?

We'll start by asking questions (a lot of them) to understand your finances, concerns, and family objectives.

3
Step 3 Retirement Plan + Recommendations

We'll create an income plan and help you understand how money flows in retirement.

  • Answer the "Are We Going to Be OK" question
  • Retirement Income Plan
  • Tax Efficient Income

It's a lot to unpack, so it's ok if this takes two meetings.

Step 4 Investment Plan

Construct your ideal investment portfolio, focusing on diversification, taxes, and expenses.

  • Investment Income
  • Asset Allocation
  • Investment Selection
  • Asset Location

Step 5 Enhance Your Plan

Your retirement plan is mostly complete; now we'll help you refine it.

  • Tax Planning
  • Estate Planning
  • Risk Management

We won't act on everything at once. So, we'll prepare written recommendations and next steps.

Step 6 In Retirement
  • Ongoing Investment Management
  • Semi-Annual Reviews

After You Retire

After you retire, we help you navigate the complexities that come with:

Fees

There are two paths to becoming a client.

One Time Retirement Plan: a 6 to 12 month engagement covering steps 1 through 5 above. Afterward, you can choose to continue long term (step 6) by transferring your investable assets to us.

Retirement Plan + Investment Management: you transfer your investable assets to begin the relationship. We invest your portfolio based on how we see your situation, then refine it as your plan develops.

One Time Retirement Plan

Flat-Fee: $3,000 – $4,500

  • Fees vary with complexity
  • Divided into monthly or quarterly payments
  • Payable by EFT or check
  • Fixed scope, agreed in advance

We'll provide an investment analysis and recommendations, but trading and implementation are up to you.

Fees are negotiable. The fixed fee will be agreed upon before the start of any work.

Retirement Plan + Investment Management

Account Value Annual Max Advisory Fee
$0 – $500,000 1.15%
$500,001 – $1,000,000 0.85%
$1,000,001 – $2,000,000 0.75%
$2,000,001+ 0.65%

The annual investment management fee is paid quarterly in advance based on the value of Client's account(s).
