How we use
RISA.
Understanding how you’d like to source your income in retirement, before we choose a strategy.
In Loren’s words
A plan that fits
your style.
Loren ShermanFounder & Financial Advisor
The RISA® Profile, short for Retirement Income Style Awareness®, helps us understand how you’d prefer to source your income in retirement.
It’s a short assessment, about 15 to 30 minutes. It produces a report on your retirement income style, the retirement goals you worry about most, and strategy options that match your preferences.
It’s one of the tools behind your Retirement Risks Analysis, and it helps us start from a strategy that fits you.
What the profile looks at
Your style,
in plain view.
If you’re planning with a spouse or partner, you can each take your own RISA, so the strategy accounts for both of you.
- Your retirement income style, and the approach that suits it
- How much you’d like an advisor’s help, and how confident you feel managing retirement income yourself
- How concerned you are about four main retirement goals
- Four secondary factors that fine-tune your profile
