A Retirement Number That Really Matters

Most Americans work diligently and contribute towards retirement throughout their adult lives. They are looking forward to a fulfilling and secure retirement.

When to start taking Social Security Benefits is an extremely important decision with meaningful impact on their cash flows and retirement security. Proactive advice on Social Security Benefits is one way that leading Financial Advisors create value for their clients and their families.  

3 Considerations for Financial Advisors:

• American investors require more advice beyond investing -- they seek and value financial advice that aligns with the many stages of their lives 
• The timing of advice matters – being proactive and strategic about starting key discussions ahead of reaching important milestones builds trust and deepens relationships 
• You can prospect by Leading with Advice – do not assume that all your prospects are receiving the right type of advice at the right point in time
