A Simplified Approach.
It shouldn’t be a complicated process to plan for your income strategy for retirement.
Keep Your Principal Safe
We prioritize the protection of your principal. You should have a retirement income that lasts a lifetime.
Planning for a successful retirement can be done in several ways. One way is to take a more conservative approach. Historically, savings accounts are low-interest accounts. In general, certificates of deposit (CDs) offer higher rates than savings accounts, but not enough to entice most people. Savings bonds are generally considered very safe. Yet, saving bonds continue to be heavily impacted by current interest rates. Low-interest rates are common as well. Though many of the choices available may not be satisfactory.
Many retirees choose higher interest rate options over savings accounts, CDs, and bonds with lower interest rates. They find higher interest rates more attractive than conservative options. However, you still need to protect your money. The goal is to earn more money than inflation without taking any risks associated with stocks.
We work with you to help you choose an income strategy for retirement that protects your principal.
Reasonable Rate of Return
In many instances, an interest rate that is too low is typically insufficient for retirees. Money may be safe, but your income might not cover all your expenses. Retirement strategies like these aren’t the most suitable option for many clients.
