Retirement Planning for Executives

In the years leading up to retirement from their successful careers, executives frequently seek assistance in navigating the complex details of their deferred compensation, stock options, restricted stock and private equity positions. We work with the employer’s executive compensation department to verify specific provisions and forecast future cash flows to help identify the most favorable elections for the client’s particular situation. We will also construct an investment portfolio which works in tandem with the company retirement benefits to ensure sufficient cash flow for the client’s lifestyle while minimizing taxes and supporting any other projects such as travel or charitable initiatives.

Life Transitions

Life transitions such as marriage, births, death and divorce can change one’s financial views and even alter one’s goals. They are often an occasion to benefit from support in re-identifying priorities and taking charge of personal finances. We may be called upon to assist in sorting out, organizing and understanding the new financial situation and investments. In some cases, this may also be an opportunity to simplify administration and reposition the investment portfolio to support the new lifestyle or family situation.

Second Opinions

Senior professionals and entrepreneurs tend to direct their primary focus to their careers and the management of their businesses and may not devote the same level of energy to their personal finances. Even when questions or doubts arise as to the performance of the portfolio or its ability to achieve specific goals such as retirement, it is often difficult to find the time to research the investments or an objective advisor.

We provide a complimentary Second Opinion which may include a review of investment performance, fees and expenses, flexibility, suitability to goals, and tax efficiency. The goal is to provide, from the investor’s perspective, an objective analysis of the investment portfolio’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Career Transitions

Experienced professionals who encounter opportunities for career advancement may need assistance in evaluating the financial implications. We help our clients with a variety of services such as evaluating the compensation package, determining the proper insurance coverage, or electing the most favorable options in the new benefits package. This may also be an occasion to streamline investments and manage the concentration of company stock in the portfolio.
