If you’re considering high-net-worth financial planning, you’ve probably already accumulated significant assets. While that’s a major milestone in itself, it’s not quite the end goal of your personal financial journey. Now it’s time to maximize and protect those assets to ensure a strong financial future for you and your family. The more wealth you’ve built, the more complex your financial needs probably are, and the more difficult it can become to handle them yourself. But how do you know when you’ve reached that point? Even if you have a solid grasp of personal finance, by working with a financial advisor you will be able to identify high-net-worth financial planning strategies you either haven’t pursued or haven’t thought of. If you’re still on the fence about whether to partner with a financial planner, consider these data points: ? Vanguard estimates that financial advisors add an average of 3% in net returns per year for clients. ? In a survey from Northwest Mutual, 66% of respondents with a financial advisor said they felt financially secure, compared with just 30% of those who didn’t have a financial advisor. ? 70% of respondents working with a financial advisor said they were happy with their life, compared with just 50% of respondents who didn’t work with a financial advisor. ? Another study from Northwestern Mutual found that financial advisors are the #1 most trusted source of financial advice, above spouses, family members, business news, and others. ? Research from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards found that 73% of those working with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER? professional felt prepared for a potential recession.

Preparing for #retirement is a top priority. Deferred compensation plans offer a convenient way to build your financial future. But which one is right for you: a non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan or the trusted 401(k)? Let's explore the key differences! ?? Security: Both plans keep your assets separate from your employer's, ensuring protection even in uncertain times. ?? Tax Savings: Both offer tax advantages, reducing your current tax liability. ?? Retirement Security: They enhance your retirement income, but you should consider other options first, such as maxing out your 401(k) or Roth IRA. ?? Customized Planning: Tailor your contributions to your needs and goals with both plans. ?? Employee Retention: Employers offering NQDC plans retain top talent and inspire loyalty. ?? Contribution Limits: NQDC plans often allow higher contributions than 401(k)s. ?? Early Withdrawal Penalties: Both plans may have penalties for early withdrawals, so plan carefully. #RetirementPlanning #FinancialPlanning #HolisticFinancialPlanning #FinancialWellbeing #ClientsFirst #WealthPlanning
