Slice Through the Confusion

How are you telling your clients to distribute from their accounts during retirement? Have you considered the effects of taxation? Should pre-tax accounts be distributed before after-tax accounts? And how about capital gains accounts?

The patent pending Tax Wise Distribution Strategy slices through the confusion, clarifying the issues. It helps advisors develop a strategy for their clients with pre-tax, after-tax and capital gains accounts.

Not only will a good distribution strategy help clients close to or in retirement, it will also benefit those in the accumulation phase better plan for distributions.

Much more can be said, but read about our retirement income distribution strategy.

Success TRAK Story
Hal Harrison, who works in both the 401(k) and 403(b), keeps it pretty simple when he states "I think any advisor who doesn't use TRAK is crazy." He saw a 267% (that's not a typo—two hundred and sixty seven percent!) increase in deferrals when he used TRAK to educate clients about their retirement. Read his Success TRAK story here.
