Introducing the RISA: Our Retirement Income Style Assessment
Subscription clients get exclusive access to our Retirement Income Style Awareness (RISA) profiling tool.
Think of the RISA as a counseling session between you and your retirement income plan. The RISA leverages scientific, agnostic, and iterative processes, eliminating any doubts about the right retirement style for your unique situation.
Often, advisors are giving you advice based on their style, not yours. RISA changes that. The powerful insights provided by this exclusive service help us pinpoint your retirement preferences and style, matching those details with the timing of account withdrawals and nuanced tax management.
For more information, and access to your own RISA questionnaire, enroll in our webinar today.

Are you sure about your retirement income strategy?
You will have to make many decisions and answer many questions as you near retirement. Decisions regarding retirement, such as when to retire or claim Social Security benefits, are essential.

If you are unsure about this decision, we can help you find the answer in our free webinar, Sharpening Your Retirement Income Strategy.
