Not Sure if You’re Ready for a Lifetime Wealth Blueprint?

Ask yourself these questions about your current retirement portfolio:

  • Do I understand how to invest for retirement income in volatile markets?
  • How much risk is baked into my current portfolio?
  • What happens to my portfolio during an extended 2008-style downturn?
  • What happens to my income if markets drop and my portfolio has to recover?
  • What happens to my lifestyle if my portfolio can’t generate the income I need?
