Investment Advisory Services Approach

Retirement Income Center's investment advisory services, unlike some investment management firms where it's a stand-alone service, is part of a conservative, comprehensive systematic approach that we use to plan, manage, and protect our clients' retirement income.

Our management services include two types of services:  (a) Income Management and (b) Asset Management. Investment advisory services is one of the two types of asset management services we make available to our clients, the other one being annuity services.

We often recommend a combination of income and asset management services to provide greater diversification and better risk management than is generally the case with stand-alone investment advisory services offered by most Registered Investment Advisors (RIA's).

We won't recommend an investment strategy, let alone individual investments, until we prepare a detailed analysis of your current financial situation. Once we have done this, the asset management portion of your portfolio that's recommended for investment advisory services is structured and managed using proven, conservative, tax- and inflation-sensitive invetment strategies.
