Retirement Risk Zone: The Most Critical Years of Your Financial Life

The Retirement Risk Zone is the 10 years before and 10 years after retirement—a crucial period that can determine whether your savings last a lifetime or run out too soon.

During this time, your retirement funds are most vulnerable to market downturns and poor timing of withdrawals. Even a few years of negative returns early in retirement can have a devastating impact on long-term financial security. Unlike younger investors, those in the Retirement Risk Zone don’t have the luxury of time to recover from losses.

Understanding the risks during this period is essential for making informed decisions about protecting and preserving wealth.

We are not affiliated with any educational or government agency, and do not provide investment, tax or legal advice. Always consult with your own qualified investment and tax/legal advisors. Insurance and annuity products are not suitable for everyone. They involve fees and charges, including possible surrender penalties. Optional benefits and riders may involve additional annual cost. Life insurance involves medical and often financial underwriting to qualify. Life insurance loans and withdrawals will reduce policy death benefits and cash values and may cause the policy to lapse or require additional premiums to keep the policy in-force. Annuity withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes, and potentially a 10% IRS penalty before age 59-1/2. Product feature and availability may vary by state. Fixed indexed life insurance and annuities are not investments in the market or index. The interest credited on your contract may be affected by the performance of an external index. However, your contract does not directly participate in the index or any equity or fixed interest investments. You are not buying shares in an index. Interest credits are subject to limits set by the issuing company, such as caps, spreads and/or participation rates.

Guarantees are backed by the financial strength of the issuing company.

We offer expert insurance solutions in form of the most basic individual protection plans to the most complex retirement & business protection plans for individuals as well as businesses.
