Retirement Planning

A successful retirement plan contains three elements:

  • proper plan design
  • appropriate investment options
  • affordable contributions.

Proper plan design includes taking maximum advantage of all tax benefits and contribution limits, distribution planning and appropriate beneficiary designations. Investment options should be suitable and reflect the risk-tolerance of all participants. Contributions must be affordable and regular.

Plan design options include:

  • IRA  Individual Retirement Account 
  • SEP  Simplified Employee Pension (excellent choice for self-employed)
  • SIMPLE IRA  Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (for small business plans)
  • 401(k)
  • 403(b) (for employees of non-profit corporations)
  • TSA Tax Sheletered Annuity (for non-profit employees)
  • Profit Sharing Plans
  • Defined Benefit Plans
  • Defined Contribution Plans (Money Purchase Plans)
  • ROTH IRA
  • Non-Qualified Retirement Plans and Deferred Compensation

 

Investment options may include:

  • Mutual Funds
  • Brokerage Accounts (for individual participants to self-manage assets)
  • Tactical Asset Allocation (third-party discretionary managed accounts)
  • Direct Investments (such as Real Estate or Equipment Leasing partnerships)
  • CDs and other fixed income investments
