We will help you analyze your retirement resources and progress. We may recommend portfolio changes, depending on your proximity to retirement. We will help you determine your need for investment income in retirement to supplement your other retirement income sources, such as social security and pension plans you may have through an employer.

It’s critical to optimize the availability of an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan. Depending on your employer, this may be a 403 (b) (a retirement plan offered by public schools and certain charities) or a 457 (a retirement plan offered by state and local governments and some non-profit organizations). No matter which employer sponsored plan you have, we can help. We will help you analyze your current contribution level and investment options, and answer your questions about traditional versus Roth accounts. When the time comes for you to begin considering withdrawing from your retirement funds, we can also help you determine draw-down strategies.

As we age, we often need additional assistance to live comfortably and safely. In some cases, that safety net may include provisions for long-term care. You may have questions about long-term health care insurance, including the cost, how much you need, and even how it works. We will explain the coverage, costs and timing and help you find and secure a plan that works for you.

You have worked hard to accumulate assets, and you want to ensure that your intended beneficiaries get their designated portion. We will advise you on necessary tax planning* and other measures you can take to maximize the assets you leave to your family and loved ones.

*For a comprehensive review of your personal situation, always consult with a tax or legal advisor. Neither Cetera Advisor Networks LLC nor any of its representatives may give legal or tax advice.

Life insurance* can be a key component to your overall financial strategy, especially as it can help protect your family against the loss income in the event of your death or the death of a spouse. We will conduct a comprehensive review of any current policies you own and evaluate your need for additional or alternative insurance products to safeguard the financial well-being of your family.

*The cost and availability of life insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Before implementing a strategy involving life insurance, it would be prudent to make sure that you are insurable by having the policy approved. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of life insurance. Policies commonly have mortality and expense charges. In addition, if a policy is surrendered prematurely, there may be surrender charges and income tax implications.

One critical task for us is to determine whether your current risk exposure matches your personal risk tolerance. Risk appetite depends on numerous factors and varies by individual preference and circumstances. It’s also vital to ensure that your portfolio choices* are working toward meeting your current and future income needs within those risk parameters.

*All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful.

Like many parents, you may be wondering how much to save for your children’s education. It’s challenging to know how much is enough, and where is the optimal place to keep those funds as they grow. We can help you devise a plan to prepare for the financial obligations of college for your children.
