Retirement Planning
Your Retirement, Your Way. Let's Plan for It, Together.
Retirement. It’s more than just an end to your working years; it’s the beginning of a new chapter, one you’ve worked hard to write. At Waterford Advisors, we believe that with smart, proactive planning, you can step into retirement with confidence, knowing you have the resources to live the life you envision. We’re here to help you map out that future, ensuring your financial strategy aligns perfectly with your retirement dreams.
Building Your Foundation, Securing Your Future
Successful retirement planning involves two distinct, equally important phases. First, there’s the accumulation phase – these are your working years, where the focus is on diligently growing your nest egg. We partner with you to build a robust savings and investment strategy tailored to your goals and timeline.
Then comes the distribution phase – this is retirement itself. Shifting from saving to spending requires a completely different mindset and portfolio strategy. It’s no longer just about growth, but about creating a sustainable income stream that supports your lifestyle for the long haul, allowing you to enjoy what you’ve built without the fear of outliving your resources.
Navigating the Landscape of Retirement Income
Designing a portfolio for your retirement years (the distribution phase) is a specialized skill. It’s different from how you saved. We focus on:
Managing Key Risks
Factors like the timing of market returns (sequence of return risk), the rising cost of living (inflation risk), your unique spending needs, and how long your retirement might last (longevity risk) all come into play. We don’t just acknowledge these risks; we build strategies to actively address them.
Optimizing Your Income
It’s not just about how much you have, but how you access it. We provide ongoing counsel on structuring your distribution portfolio and guide you on the most effective ways to receive your income, always keeping tax efficiency in mind.
Flexibility for Life's Changes
Retirement isn’t static. Your needs and desires may evolve. Our planning process includes regular reviews and adjustments to ensure your strategy remains aligned with your life, wherever it may lead.
