FAQ
Click on the question to find the answer:
Q. Do I have enough to retire? How much is enough?
One’s expectations, lifestyle, health, and goals all determine how much you will need to achieve a comfortable retirement. Our customized retirement report will break-down your projected retirement income and show you if you will have enough or what you specifically have to do to achieve your retirement dreams.
Q. What is Estate Planning?
“It’s simply the process of structuring your affairs to preserve your wealth and to transfer, in an orderly fashion, what’s left at the time of your death to those of your choosing – whether family, friends, partners, or charities.” – Tim Cestnick – Winning the Estate Planning Game.
Q. I have my investments at several institutions because I am afraid to have all my eggs in one basket, does this ensure that my portfolio is diversified?
No, diversifying by financial institution does not guarantee a diversified portfolio. We use a third-party portfolio analyzer that takes a snap shot of all your investment holdings at all institutions and gives you a complete report including over-lap, asset allocation, and geographical analysis to ensure proper diversification.
Q. Can you help me or my estate save taxes?
We will take a look at your current and estate tax projections. Our team along with your accountant will identify unique tax saving strategies. A special part of that team is our tax and estate planning specialist that can help analyze your tax situation at no additional cost to you.
Q. What is the best type of life insurance to buy?
There are three types of life insurance (Term, Participating (Whole Life) and Universal Life) and all three have their proper place in a financial plan. Depending on what stage of life you are at, and after assessing your needs we can help you determine which type of product or combination will be the most cost effective and appropriate.
Q. I already have an accountant and lawyer; do I have to change them to work with you?
No, our team consults with your professional advisors to ensure all aspects (tax, investment, insurance) of your financial plan are working together.
Q. Cost and Fees for RTR Advisory Group’s services and advice?
Every client situation is unique and requires different solutions and services. There are 3 different ways that we can be compensated: 1. Fee for service structure. 2. Compensated through the financial products that you purchase (commission). 3. A combination of both (fee for service/commission). We will discuss and disclose the best arrangement for you and your plan in our initial meeting.
