If You Are Approaching or Transitioning Into Retirement...

GSI can help answer some of the most pressing retirement income questions such as:

When

Can I realistically retire?

What

Is the best strategy for generating retirement income?

How

Much can I afford to withdraw each year and still make my money last?

Which

Tax strategy supports higher spending potential?

Where

Should I invest my money?


A good financial advisor is particularly valuable when an investor transitions from the accumulation mode to the distribution mode at retirement.

  • Coordinating a working career of accumulation into a stream of retirement income that will last throughout retirement is a major challenge and needs the experience of a financial advisor who has developed a specialization in retirement income planning.
  • Not only do investments need to be carefully managed, but distributions must likewise be managed in conjunction with pensions and social security benefits.
  • All these sources of retirement income must be coordinated with each other to maximize income and to minimize taxation throughout retirement. The goal is to create a stream of tax efficient, inflation – beating income that will last for decades.

What GSI Can Do for You

As you approach retirement your focus shifts from accumulating saving for retirement to planning for distribution of retirement income.
