Retirement Financial Advisor – Customized for You
Retirement is a welcome and exciting stage of your life. The what and how of your retirement is an exploring process that reflects you – even identifies you. No one else is going to follow your path. From this uniqueness, we feel that there is no cookie-cutter approach to financially planning for your upcoming years.
Our philosophy is to customize every step, every process of the retirement funding plan and the execution of that plan. Our San Rafael and Novato retirement financial advisors are very skilled and resourceful in designing your unique plan. This, of course, includes selecting investment strategies that fit your specific needs, time line and risk tolerance.
Your Retirement Future — Exploring the Details
Determining your detailed definition of retirement is the first step your MWA advisor takes with you. This is an exploring time for you to sketch out in as much detail as possible your retirement vision. During this session we take careful note of all that you want to do or achieve. This can include life passions, travel, further education or service goals, family time and much more.
This session is collaborative. We listen and ask clarifying questions, and note your goals and interests. We contribute with needs you may not have thought of. Then we discuss the most comprehensive, well-researched strategies on retirement funding available now that will best perform for you.
Planning Retirement
with a Holistic View
Our approach to your retirement is based on a deep understanding of your financial life. Not only do we take into account other important financial goals you may have in addition to retirement, such as paying for a child’s education, or buying a vacation home, we also account for the changing and evolving needs in retirement.
Retirement Savings & Spending
Saving is the single most important factor in planning for retirement. The earlier you start, the better you can benefit from compounding, and maximize the amount you save over time. We work with you to review and optimize your savings and spending rates, to help you align with how much you will need in retirement.
Investment Management
Maximizing the benefits of your employer–sponsored plans such as 401(k), 403(b) or 457, and tapping into other tax-advantaged plans such as IRAs and business retirement plans is one of the best ways to accumulate retirement savings. By undertaking a review of your tax-advantaged and your taxable portfolio, we help you allocate your assets in the most effective manner.
Planning for Longevity
While no one knows how long they’ll live, if you’re in good health, have longevity in your family and live a healthy lifestyle, there’s an excellent chance that you or your spouse could live to 90 or beyond. Together we can help you plan for these added years. Talk to our retirement advisors for San Rafael through Novato today.
