Our 3 Core Principles
Here’s a bit more on our 3 core principles when it comes to financial planning for retirement.
As stated previously, we put safety first. During your working years, you may have been a bit more comfortable with risk. Investments in the stock market certainly come with their ups and downs. However, if you’re approaching, or already in, retirement, your goals may have changed. You may be looking to keep your principal in a more secure place. We can work with you to find a good place for it, based on your risk tolerance. As we’ve talked about previously, insurance products are an option to consider.
Many people think that safety and reasonable returns are mutually exclusive options. However, this is not necessarily the case. In addition to finding the product that provides you with the most safety, we’ll also select one for you that gets you reasonable rates of return.** You won’t need to spend so much time worrying about running out of money, if you have a financial vehicle that offers a guaranteed* lifetime stream of income.
Despite what you may think, financial planning for retirement doesn’t have to be complex. You don’t have to spend so much of your time worrying about your money, and you don’t have to be confused about it, either. You can count on us to keep you updated and respond to your questions. If you don’t understand something, we’ll take the time to explain it. Lastly, we’re not the type of firm to just sell you something and walk away. Instead, we’ll reach out to you to make sure your plan is still working and you’re still confident in it.
