Dr. Wade Pfau, program director of the Retirement Income Certified Professional® designation and a Professor of Retirement Income at The American College of Financial Services joins the Jackson National Life team for a discussion on tax-efficient retirement planning and important considerations for advisors.
“There is short-term cost for long-term efficiency,” explains Pfau on the mindset around effective retirement planning strategies. However, over time, a tax-efficient retirement planning strategy can have a significant impact on building sustainable wealth. Creating a tax-efficient retirement plan has a lot of complexities and requires a deep understanding of the progressive tax system, taxable verses non taxable accounts, preferential income sources and tax diversification.
While each client’s situation is somewhat unique, Pfau suggests that the most important consideration for advisors is “When should taxes be paid to generate the most after-tax spending and legacy for a given asset base?” Jackson, one of the nation’s leading annuities providers, centers its business around creating longterm financial freedom and helping advisors navigate the complexities of retirement planning.
The firm’s consultants specialize in advanced planning, investment management, and tax management strategies for individuals and families and can provide assistance with aggregation of annuities and identifying tax inefficiencies.
