When is Your Journey Complete?

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. For those who attempt to climb it, reaching the top is only half the journey. They still have to make it down.

On the way down, the trek is more dangerous—oxygen, energy, and equipment must all be used differently to complete the journey safely.

Planning for retirement is a similar adventure. Throughout your life, as you work your way to the top, you are determined to reach a goal and retire on your terms. Once that day comes, that journey looks very different—your income, spending and personal needs all change.

Even experienced climbers will hire a Sherpa to guide them to the top of the mountain—and back down again. They have done it many, many times—they know the best way.

We consider ourselves financial Sherpas.

We help folks climb and get down the retirement mountain ensuring you have enough financial resources to live out your retirement comfortably and securely.

The Retirement Risk Assessment

The risks in retirement are different for everyone. Your existing financial position, your exposure to the markets, how you want to live and many other factors can expose you to risks you may not expect. Through our retirement risk assessment, we can see many of these dangers coming and adjust our strategies accordingly to limit or eliminate these hazards all together.

As part of our risk assessment, we will explore your:

  • Sequence of Returns
  • Market Risk
  • Longevity Risk
  • Medical Expense Risk
  • Incapacity Risk
  • Tax Risk
  • Asset Allocation Risk
Learn how we assess and manage these retirement risks

We are Independent Advisors

You know the companies you see on TV that say “Talk to us about retirement”? Advisors who work for these are called captive agents. They are bound by their employers to sell their products and services, even if it’s not in the best interest of their clients.

We are independent advisors who don’t have to worry about company products, services or quotas. We’re able to contract with whichever carrier is right for your specific needs.

Our only obligation is to our clients.

Learn why working with an independent advisor is so important.

Let’s Chat

Our goal is to eliminate your financial illiteracy. In a one-on-one strategy session, we’ll discuss where you are, where you want to go, how to get there, and what we need to look out for along the way.
