Retirees and Pre-Retirees

Services Offered:

  • In retirement, cash FLOW is paramount. Developing an income plan to convert assets into a sustainable income stream is essential, coordinating withdrawals from your investment portfolio with other sources like Social Security, pensions, and annuities. Generalized advice, like The 4% Rule, may not be ideal for your situation. We will work together on a strategy to avoid financial pitfalls: overspending and depleting funds too quickly, or underspending and leaving substantial assets behind. Our goal is your financial independence and comfort in retirement.

  • Taxes are a major retirement expense. At Sage Wealth Group, we help minimize your tax burden through smart strategies. We will explore tax-efficient withdrawal methods and consider Roth conversions for potential tax-free withdrawals. Additionally, tax-loss harvesting can offset capital gains and lower taxable income. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive plan that meets your financial needs and ensures a secure, tax-efficient retirement.

  • Our investment philosophy is grounded in Nobel Prize-winning research and extensive empirical evidence accumulated over decades. We utilize a low-cost, total market approach that encompasses investments across all key asset classes, spanning both developed and emerging markets. Whenever feasible, we focus on securities in areas of the market that have demonstrated superior expected returns according to research. Our strategy emphasizes a long-term, disciplined approach, avoiding attempts to time the markets or predict short-term outcomes. This methodical approach enhances the likelihood of achieving your financial objectives. We take care of rebalancing your accounts and managing cash flow needs, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

  • At Sage Wealth Group, we offer comprehensive services for financial planning and risk management. We start with a thorough review of your insurance policies—life, health, auto, and homeowner's—ensuring they meet your financial goals and provide sufficient coverage. We also examine your estate documents, like wills and trusts, to align your estate plan with your wishes and minimize tax liabilities. Lastly, we will ensure a plan for long term care.
