Helping Diligent Advisors Ensure They're On The Right Planning Path

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


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).
