What Are You Paying?
What Are You Getting?
Get a complimentary second opinion on your retirement strategy.
We’ll review your investments, fees, retirement income, taxes, Social Security and Medicare — and tell you what we think may be getting overlooked.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY PAYING?
A 1% advisory fee sounds simple.
But what about fund expenses? Platform fees? Insurance or annuity costs? Transaction expenses? And perhaps more importantly:
What are you receiving in return?
If you’re paying for comprehensive wealth management, your relationship should involve considerably more than picking investments and sending quarterly statements.

Here’s What We’ll Review
-
YOUR TOTAL COSTS
We’ll help identify the advisory fees, investment expenses and other costs we can find so you have a clearer picture of what you’re actually paying.
-
YOUR INVESTMENTS
We’ll look at your allocation, diversification, risk, expenses and whether the portfolio appears designed around your retirement needs.
-
YOUR RETIREMENT INCOME
Where will your income come from? Which accounts should you use first? How much should remain outside the stock market?
-
YOUR TAX STRATEGY
We’ll look for opportunities involving Roth conversions, capital gains, withdrawal sequencing and other tax-planning considerations.
-
SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE
We’ll look at how these decisions fit into the rest of your retirement strategy — rather than treating them as separate decisions.
-
YOUR OVERALL FINANCIAL PLAN
Most importantly, we’ll look at whether all of these pieces are actually working together.
