How Much Money Do You Need to Retire Comfortably?
This is often the first question clients ask us, and despite the conventional wisdom that 4% is a sustainable withdrawal rate, we believe that the answer to this question depends on your personal circumstances. Understanding this requires a thoughtful conversation about you and your situation in order to craft a plan that may offer the best strategy for achieving your goals. Our state-of-the-art technology gives us the ability to model and illustrate potential outcomes and is part of an educational process that can demystify your retirement planning.
To more fully understand how we view the science of potentially sustainable cash flow, we encourage you to read about our patented DIESEL® (Dividends, Interest and Equity Select Liquidations) withdrawal strategy. DIESEL® is specifically designed to address the concern of "will I outlive my money?" by creating potentially sustainable income with growth potential, helping more fully assure your assets last throughout your retirement years.

*Under certain circumstances, clients may choose to be billed hourly for planning and evaluation services that exceed, in the judgment of the firm, what would be considered reasonable. These hourly rates vary based on the nature of the planning. We discourage clients from hourly planning as we believe that proper planning is an ongoing process NOT an event. We recommend a fee-based approach on the value of the assets managed. This arrangement encourages a continuum of planning and investment management and eliminates many conflicts of interest inherent in other compensation arrangements.
