What most people don’t realize is that retiring isn’t just a goal, it’s a challenge. But with the help of RetireRight

Pittsburgh, a team of independent wealth managers, you and your loved ones can navigate the potential minefield of retirement planning and avoid making material financial mistakes.

“Retirement isn’t just a change of life, it’s a psychological shift,” said Christopher Cannon, CFP®, AIF® Wealth Management Advisor. “People truly flip the switch from the accumulation phase of their working lives to the distribution phase, where they have to create income streams for themselves. Along with that, they have to take into account strategies to combat inflation, decide when to switch on their Social Security benefits, and how they’re going to provide for their health care.”

On top of that, retirees also have the formidable task of trying to sort out their estate planning needs – whether they want to leave money for family or an educational or religious institution; how they intend to protect certain assets from and prepare for the possibility of nursing home costs; and how to financially protect a surviving spouse.

“Our goal is to be our clients’ chief financial officer,” Cannon said. “We’re the quarterback for the team, which includes coordinating accountants, attorneys and other professionals involved in your financial well being. We offer comprehensive financial planning, tax efficient income strategies, investment management, long term care planning and more, beyond that of just portfolio management. We define effective wealth management as both a holistic and individualized

process around which comprehensive financial planning serves as the foundation. These are the unique services needed by more affluent clients, and that’s an expertise and specialty that we bring to the market.”

With being an independent wealth management firm, RetireRight Pittsburgh holds itself to a higher fiduciary standard. They are not tied to any bank. They have no proprietary products. Every action they take for their clients is in that client’s best interests. There are no cookie-

cutter solutions for RetireRight Pittsburgh, because each client has a unique situation to be addressed, and different goals to attain.

The value of having a wealth manager’s guiding hand steering your portfolio over the average 30 years that most people enjoy during retirement is hard to calculate. However, recent national studies

have shown that the return to investors for using a wealth manager’s services averages around 3 percent year over year, a considerable amount for individuals who have sizable assets to consider.

“We manage numerous retirement plans in various industries,” he said. “The major concern for plan sponsors is fiduciary education. We sign on as co-fiduciaries and help plan sponsors navigate this regulatory

maze that exists. Companies want two things – to offer a quality benefits package that is attractive to their employees and to avoid litigation – to avoid getting fined after Department of Labor audits, or sued by disgruntled employees. We help our retirement plan clients improve retirement outcomes for their participants in companies ranging from 50 to 1,000 employees.”
