Financial and Retirement Planning

As the population ages, the emphasis in financial planning may shift from planning for premature death, to planning for living too long. Life expectancy has increased dramatically in the last century, making plans to retire for ten to fifteen years is now obsolete. Due to many advances in the field of medical science, the current retirement period is closer to 25 years.

In retirement planning there are three phases: accumulation, consolidation, distribution. the accumulation of assets occurs during the individual’s working years; usually it is between 30 to 55. In the second phase of consolidation, the client repositions the investment portfolio to more conservative allocations that will be subject to less fluctuation in value. The third phase is the distribution period. This is where the retiree starts collecting from private investments, social security, personal investments and various retirement plans. In each phase there is interaction between inflation, taxes and current interest rates, which affects the outcome of how much a client can accumulate and what income the total assets accumulated will produce.

Insurance Planning

Insurance planning and risk management is one of the core components of the financial planning process. Insurance is a financial tool that transfers the risk of financial loss from one party, the insured, to another party, the insurance carrier. When there is an insurance claim, the insurer restores the economic loss, in whole or in part. A solid plan often times includes insurance to cover property (personal property, real estate, automobile, etc.), liability (negligence, torts, etc.), and personal risk (death, disability, poor health, etc.).

For many, life insurance is among the more important types of coverage for individuals and families to have. There are three key questions when considering life insurance as part of your financial plan — how much do you need, how long should the coverage be in place, and what is doable from a cash-flow perspective.

As every client knows, life is full of uncertainties and unpredictable events. Insurance is a vehicle to provide assurance for you and your loved ones. Insurance planning is an important part of any sound financial plan. In its simple terms, is no more than leveraging the risk associated with the uncertainties and unpredictable events and prepare for the expenses that those types of events can cause.

Proper and effective insurance planning can help a client to evaluate various options from the many insurance companies and ensure that you are adequately covered for insurable risks, ie: life, health, disability, long-term care, and property/casualty.

You work hard to bring home a paycheck, provide food and shelter and accumulate wealth. It is not in the best interest to you and your family to leave these important issues to chance. Whatever the insurance needs is, making sure that you’re adequately insured can save you from financial ruin in the event of an unfortunate accident. Make sure that you’re covering the most important aspects of your life while spending money only on the insurance that you really need.

Insurance planning can help maintain the client’s family and loved ones standard of living in the event of death or disability and not burden them with the high cost of final expenses.
