Investing for your retirement

Investing with purpose

We believe your dollars should be assigned to tasks. We integrate financial planning and investment management to determine income needs and invest with purpose.

Location

Our preferred custodian is Charles Schwab. If you have assets with a different custodian, Hilltop Planning will assist in transferring those assets to Schwab for you.

Philosophy

We believe in efficient markets, and are proponents of low-cost indexing over active management for longer-term needs. For shorter-term needs, we can match liabilities with historically less-risky asset classes.

Personalized Strategy

Investment strategies at Hilltop Planning are unique to each client’s withdrawal rate, risk-tolerance, liquidity needs, amount of auxiliary guaranteed income, health care plans, and discretionary income.

Cash Flow Management

Cash flow management is a critical component of each retiree’s plan and investment strategy. We will craft a cash-flow plan to suit client liquidity needs and comfort with buffer reserves.

tax efficiency

We believe investing can be achieved tax-consciously with tax planning top-of-mind. When possible, we believe evaluating asset allocation within the context of asset location can facilitate greater tax efficiency.
