Safe Money Retirement Solutions
Protect your retirement savings for the long run.
HELPING RETIREES WITH SAFE MONEY SOLUTIONS
Each client has unique needs so no two situations are alike. For instance, one person’s idea of a risky investment may differ from another’s. Also, the details of your family, goals, budget, and lifestyle all play into which solutions may be best for you. However, at Marathon Group Financial, we help all of our clients keep at least some of their money safe. We believe this protection is a critical piece in your overall retirement plan.
In fact, our group has 3 main mission statements in terms of our work with clients.
Simplicity
Works
Rate of return expectations should be reasonable
Protecting money is the foundation
What are safe money retirement solutions?
Generally, when you near retirement, you begin to think about safeguarding the money you have in your savings. As we all know, stock market value changes can create a loss in your account. When that happens, sometimes people wonder if their retirement can bound back. Certainly, it can feel like an emotional roller coaster. That’s what it is key to look for ways to protect a portion of your assets.
Marathon Group Financial understands this balance between safety and potential growth. For instance, when appropriate, we offer fixed index annuities (FIAs). With these products, you may see a potential rate of return, but you also can protect your principal. So, no matter what happens in the market, you can have a part of your retirement savings safe. For some retirees, FIAs may be a low-risk way to protect their retirement income and savings.

WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY MONEY ?
The stock market can be a valuable part of a retirement strategy for some people. This is particularly true if you are still in the growing phase of wealth. Indeed, risk tolerance is an important factor. How much risk are you comfortable with? More importantly, do you understand all your risks? In 2008 and again in 2020, the market saw quite a drop in value. With this uncertainty, some retirees are looking for more secure places to put their money. Fixed index annuities may be part of the solution for those who wish to keep some money safe from the swings of the market.
Although each situation differs, some types of fixed or fixed index annuities may be worth a look. With an FIA, an insurance company makes a contract with the annuity owner. As one of the conditions, the company agrees to protect your principal. With other conservative accounts, such as CDs or traditional savings, your money is insured by the FDIC (up to $250,000). However, rates with these types of accounts are typically much lower than other places you may place your money. In addition, you must pay tax on any interest you earn. On the other hand, FIAs are usually tax-deferred in their potential growth. Taxes are paid when money is taken out. In addition, an FIA might be able to provide you with a lifelong income. Again, be sure to reach out to find out if this option applies to your retirement circumstances.
Of course, you are the one in charge of your retirement. At Marathon Group Financial, we aim to give you all the information you need to make the right decision for yourself. Call us to set up a meeting. Or, sign up for an upcoming educational event to find out more.
