The VFG Planning Process
Income Planning
To start the VFG Process, we evaluate your current income situation and expenses to ensure they are sustainable for your life. Next, we’ll make sure that we have maximized your social security, looked into your pension options and decisions, planned for a pre-mature death of a spouse, inflation, and other considerations that are critical for your income plan.
Investment Planning
Depending on your risk tolerance and risk capacity, we’ll create portfolios that are customized to your overall financial goals. By being an independent Registered Investment Advisor, we are not tied in with a large “wire house” institution, which means we can offer a universe of funds and equities to create cost-efficient and high quality portfolios.
Tax Planning
The main goal of our tax planning is to generate more tax diversification. This means that we’ll assess your current tax liability whether it is income taxes, capital gain taxes, or estate taxes and develop strategies to minimize the taxes you pay during your retirement, as well as when passing on your wealth to the next generation.
Healthcare Planning
Understanding the healthcare system can be overwhelming. Whether you are trying to retire before Medicare, on Medicare, or concerned about the high costs of Long-Term Care, we take the time to ensure that you know your options, and create a plan that matches your health and budget.
Legacy Planning
By working collaboratively with estate planning attorneys, we can help maximize the amount that your loved ones will inherit, help control how the money is to be given, and minimize the taxes that are paid.
Many pieces, one plan.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
