As you transition into retirement, your investment strategy should evolve. We adjust your portfolio to focus on capital preservation, income generation, and long-term sustainability.
How Our Retirement Planning Process Works
At Babin Wealth Management, we’ve developed a step-by-step retirement planning process designed to give you clarity and peace of mind:
- Discovery & Retirement Goal Setting: We begin by learning about your retirement vision. What does financial freedom look like to you? We discuss your ideal lifestyle, priorities, family needs, and long-term objectives.
- Data Gathering & Financial Analysis: We review your full financial picture—retirement accounts, investments, pensions, income sources, expenses, debts, and tax situation—to assess where you are today and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Tailored Retirement Roadmap Presentation: Next, we create a personalized retirement plan, showing you the trajectory you’re on and how our recommended strategies can help you achieve your goals. This roadmap includes detailed projections, tax strategies, withdrawal sequencing, and estate planning integration.
- Implementation & Strategy Execution: Once you’re confident in your plan, we assist with implementing every component—adjusting investments, coordinating rollovers, managing withdrawals, and collaborating with estate and tax professionals.
- Ongoing Monitoring & Annual Reviews: Your retirement journey doesn’t end at retirement—it continues to evolve. We meet with you regularly to review your plan, monitor performance, and adjust for life changes, tax law updates, or new financial opportunities.
