Holistic Retirement Planning**
Holistic retirement planning is a comprehensive process that involves defining goals and appropriate strategies for:
- Accumulation, which sets a specific dollar target, to be reached on a specific date, that will fund an independent retirement
- Distribution at a rate, escalated annually to offset inflation, below the earnings of the remaining capital
- Legacy, which is the inevitable result of withdrawing less than the capital is earning over the investor’s retired life
The goal of holistic retirement planning is to result in a retiree’s invested net worth being at its zenith close to the time of death. This becomes Craig and his team’s conception of wealth: that, like a river, it widens and deepens as it flows down through the generations. It is their privilege to steward their clients through this process and to keep them on track through decades of fears and fads.
