Why On-going Support Matters
A Retirement Plan is only as strong as its implementation. Studies show that regular updates and accountability are key to long-term success. That's why we offer:
Quarterly Retirement Plan Snapshots
We go beyond standard investment statements - tying your portfolio directly to your Retirement Plan goals and strategy. Together, at a glance, we'll be able to track your progress and detect areas that may need adjustment.
Example Snapshot:
Example Snapshot:

Each quarterly snapshot includes:
- Your projected Retirement Income ratio and the sources providing that income
- Expected withdrawal rate from your portfolio
- Probability of success
- How your portfolio risk aligns with your Risk Tolerance
Quarterly Conversations
We are a boutique firm, intentionally limiting our client load to ensure meaningful conversational engagement with you. Each quarter, we will:
- Review life changes and the impact on your Retirement Plan
- Discuss your Retirement Snapshot
- Review the "Observations, Risks, and Recommendations" from your Initial Plan
- Highlight a key section of your Plan for deeper insight
Your Client Service Calendar keeps everything on track, personalized to your needs. Simplified example of a Client Service Calendar:

Annual Rebalancing
Each year, we revisit your Retirement Plan projections, risk tolerance, and investment asset mix. We will then rebalance your portfolio as needed. We will also update your "Observations, Risks, and Recommendations" summary to reflect any changes, ensuring your Retirement Plan remains relevant to your current situation.
Transparent, Low-Cost Flat-Fee Structure
Our tiered flat-fee structure includes both Planning fees and Advisory Investment Management fees. We think you will find these to be among the lowest in the industry, and always delivered by a qualified fiduciary professional. The tiered pricing structure reflects the general complexity of your Plan.
No commissions. No referral fees. Just qualified advice and on-going support
