Retirement Planning

Do you want to retire early?

Do you want to be able to stop working in your 60s (or 50s) and continue enjoying life?

Retirement planning may not be on your mind right now. You are building your career and already contributing to your 401(k). However, the earlier you start strategizing, the easier it would be to reach your retirement goals. Think about the power of compound interest! You may also be missing out on legal tax loopholes that can lower your tax burden and investment opportunities that can increase your wealth.

Here at District Capital, we can help you strategize on the best way to save for retirement and maximize your money, depending on your unique situation.

Our 8-Step Retirement Planning Process

STEP 1

Set Your Retirement Goals

Do you enjoy your job and will likely retire at the “normal” retirement age of say 65? Or are you tired of working and would like to retire as early as possible?

STEP 2

Get The Baseline

How much have you saved so far in your 401(k)? How much are you currently contributing to your retirement accounts? Do you have an old 401(k) floating around somewhere?

We will collate and examine your existing retirement accounts. As a client, you will also get access to our financial planning software so you can see all your retirement assets in one place, and watch them grow.

STEP 3

Run Retirement Projections

We will run a retirement projection to see how much you’re on track, assuming you don’t make any changes.

In order to improve your retirement picture, we will then give recommendations on asset location, asset allocation, and retirement savings rate contributions.

STEP 4

Give Recommendations On Asset Location

Many forget this key important step. Asset Location refers to what type of retirement vehicle is best for you to save for retirement. It is a key factor in lowering your tax burden and how much of your wealth you get to keep.

Should you contribute to a regular pre-tax 401(k) or to a Roth 401(k)? Should you contribute to a Roth IRA or a Traditional IRA? Should you keep your money in cash, or invest in a taxable brokerage account? Are you taking advantage of other investment accounts like Health Savings Accounts or 529s?

If you’re a small business owner or receive a 1099 as a consultant, we can consider retirement vehicles specific to your situation. This may include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, solo 401(k), or an actual 401(k).

The objective is for you to have as much money as possible in tax-advantaged accounts, so you can grow and keep more of your money.

STEP 5

Give Recommendations On Asset Allocation

How confident are you that your 401(k) and other retirement accounts are invested optimally? How your funds are invested is one of the primary drivers of retirement portfolio performance.

At District Capital, we regularly assess current market conditions and consider which of these combinations of assets would be best to invest in client retirement accounts:

U.S. stocks
International developed market stocks
Emerging market stocks
Small-company stocks
U.S. core bonds
U.S. core bonds (short-duration)
Emerging market bonds
Other investments

STEP 6

Give Recommendations On Retirement Savings Contribution

Even if you’re already maxing out your 401(k), we can accelerate your retirement goal timeline by increasing your investments in other retirement vehicles. This may include an IRA, taxable brokerage accounts, after-tax 401(k) (if available via your employer plan), health savings accounts, and other investment vehicles.

STEP 7

Periodic Rebalancing

Market conditions constantly change. We will advise you on the periodic rebalancing of your retirement portfolios to take advantage of market changes.

STEP 8

Fine-Tune

Retirement plans evolve over time, just as our lives do. Life throws us curve balls. Laws change. We will fine-tune your retirement plan as the world around us changes and your life unfolds.
