The Strategy Snapshot

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

ARE YOU...

  • Starting to think about retirement, but unsure where to begin?
  • Managing your investments, but unsure that your current asset allocation meets with your risk tolerance or overall “view of the world”.
  • Already retired and interested in principal preservation, guaranteed income and stability for the “safer” part of your portfolio.
  • Aware of how “sequence of returns” affects your long term distribution strategy, especially in today’s richly valued equity market and above average 5 year recent returns.
  • Mindful of the long term impact that rising inflation and volatile interest rates have on the bond portion of your portfolio.

WE MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE.

Explore tailored, “financial science” based strategies based on your life stage, longevity expectation and risk tolerance.

THE CONSULTANT DIFFERENCE

An unpaid second opinion is simply a sales call.


At incomes and legacies, our fee-based consultants never earn commissions or receive assets under management (AUM) fees. While the company may, in certain circumstances, receive a finder’s fee from the issuing company, your consultant personally never does. We never take control of your assets, but if you hire us, we’ll help YOU take control.

After all, it’s YOUR money!

The Real Challenge

Do these sound familiar?

I have a big 401k/457/403/TSP/IRA.

What are my options?

I’m worried about outliving my money and maintaining my purchasing power.

I want to enjoy my money now but I also want to leave a legacy, if possible.

I’ve got savings, investments and insurance products but want a paid consultant to look at  what I’ve done.

I have pension and social security questions that I need to resolve.

I recently sold my house or received an inheritance - where do I start factoring that into my overall plan.

We're helping independent, resourceful young Boomers and older Gen Xers bridge the gap between what they have and what they need to feel secure. You don't need a pension to build a plan; you just need a partner.
