Risk Management Checklist
Let’s take a moment to review your current protection portfolio — the foundation of every solid financial plan:
-
Term Life Insurance — Protect your loved ones from the financial impact of lost income due to premature death.
-
Disability Income Insurance — Safeguard your earnings if illness or injury prevents you from working.
-
Long-Term Care Insurance — Preserve your assets, maintain your independence, and ensure access to quality care in your later years.
-
Health Insurance — Protect yourself and your family from unexpected and high medical expenses.
-
Permanent (Cash Value) Life Insurance — Build tax-advantaged savings, protect against market volatility, and strengthen your retirement and legacy planning.
Wealth Accumulation and Investment Strategies
Building wealth isn’t just about investing — it’s about having a coordinated strategy that balances growth, protection, and tax efficiency.
Let’s assess where you currently stand:
-
Emergency Fund — Ensure you have 3–6 months of essential living expenses set aside to handle unexpected events without derailing your financial goals.
-
Short-Term Goals — Plan ahead for upcoming milestones such as your child’s education, a home purchase, or other major life events by aligning your savings and investment timelines.
-
Retirement Plans — Maximize your employer-sponsored benefits — including 401(k), 403(b), or TSP accounts — and take full advantage of matching contributions and tax-deferred growth.
-
Old Accounts — Locate and consolidate old retirement plans from previous employers to gain better control, investment flexibility, and potential cost savings.
-
Balanced Strategy — Design a savings approach that protects your assets during market downturns, captures growth during bull markets, and minimizes tax exposure over time.


Distribution Strategies and Legacy Planning
Wealth isn’t truly complete until it’s protected, distributed wisely, and passed on with intention.
Here’s what to consider as you plan your legacy:
-
Retirement Account Rules — Understand the penalties, Rule of 55, Section 72(q), and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). If you hold retirement accounts such as a 401(k), 403(b), or TSP and aren’t familiar with these rules, now’s the time to learn.
-
Personal Pension Options — Explore income-guaranteed solutions such as annuities — Fixed, Indexed, or Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) — available in both deferred and immediate (income) structures.
-
Balanced Distribution Strategy — A comprehensive plan blends market growth potential, downside protection, tax-efficient income, and longevity planning — so your money lasts as long as you do.
-
Generational Continuity — Transfer wealth effectively with strategies such as life insurance to offset estate or inheritance taxes, updated beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, and properly structured wills and trusts.
-
Philanthropic & Business Legacy — Create lasting impact through charitable giving, family foundations, or business succession planning to carry your mission beyond your lifetime.
-
Tax Coordination — Align when and how your assets are distributed to maximize after-tax income and preserve wealth across generations.
