New Resources: Investment Review & Roth 401(k) Contributions

August 10, 2020
Resource Additions, Announcements

We’re excited to announce two new resources this month to help you be more diligent in the planning process.  Details are below:

New Checklist: What Issues Should I Consider When Reviewing My Investments?

This checklist helps guide your conversations with clients (or prospective clients) when reviewing their investment portfolios. Whether you are advising novice or experienced investors, it is critical to review their investment portfolios as part of the financial planning process. Particularly during times of uncertainty and volatility, a portfolio review can help you and your clients evaluate and confirm their strategy, ensuring alignment with their financial goals.

New Flowchart: Should I Contribute To My Roth 401(k)?

Roth 401(k)s have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional 401(k)s, allowing participants to make after-tax salary deferrals to their employer plans. Many clients may have the opportunity to contribute to a designated Roth account in their 401(k), but are uncertain about the best savings strategy for their personal circumstances. This flowchart helps you guide your clients through a series of considerations that will inform their decision whether to contribute to a Roth 401(k).

If you are a member, review these new resources in our membership and:

  • Proactively reach out to current clients for planning opportunities
  • Proactively reach out to prospective clients as a touchpoint
  • Deluxe members create your own custom branded resources and share on your blog and newsletter
  • Deluxe members incorporate your custom branded resources into your marketing (learn more here)
  • Premier members can complete interactive versions of the checklists and integrate with Redtail (learn more here)

If you are not a member, you can view a sample checklist or sample flowchart and get a membership here. Then, take the steps listed above for our current members! 

See our Summary Resources Guide, which shows all the resources. 

As always, we welcome feedback from advisors who are having these conversations with their clients. How can we improve these resources? We want to hear from you. And if you have an idea for a resource, let us know.

To diligent planning,

The fpPathfinder Team

What Customers Are Saying About Us

Hundreds of other advisors are actively using fpPathfinder. Read what those lovely people have to say about us.
“Having been trained in a CPA firm, checklists were how everything was done, I was amazed to learn how little checklists were utilized in FP [Financial Planning]. I had created my own but FP Pathfinder has outdone me in creating current issue lists and updates. This is a must for any advisor. ”
— Advisor from California
“The resources available are beneficial internally and for clients. The checklists help advisors think outside the box of their knowledge and experience covering a multitude of planning areas. The flowcharts are well laid out visuals for the clients with possible scenarios identified and clear paths to take. fpPathfinders does a nice job updating the resources regularly and communicating to their customer base as well.”
— An advisor in Minnesota
“Your software and platform are awesome and super helpful to me and my clients”
— Clinton, an Advisor in New York
“ fpPathfinder is great. It's perfect for supplemental content to enhance our marketing efforts.”
— Ray, an advisor in California
“Love the Redtail integration - it’s been instrumental in my prep for my client reviews. I’m finding my self being over-prepared because of the robust lists which is great.”
— Don, and advisor in California
“Checklists don't make the planner smarter or more skilled, but do help to ensure that the planner maximizes the knowledge and skill he/she already has.”
— Michael Kitces, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief at Kitces.com
“This is one of my best subscriptions I pay for!”
— Sean, an advisor in California
