Overview

At Excelsior we believe retirement shouldn’t feel like a question mark. It should feel like a plan. Whether you’re five years away from retiring or still early in your career, the right retirement strategy ensures you can step away from work on your terms—with the lifestyle you’ve envisioned. With over 35 years in experience we helped countless clients reach their retirement goals.

As a fiduciary wealth advisor in South Florida, we specialize in guiding clients through the complexities of retirement planning with one focus: your long-term financial freedom.

Why Retirement Planning Matters
Retirement is not just about “having enough.” It’s about creating choices. Without a clear plan, many retirees end up relying too heavily on Social Security or spending down their savings too quickly. With the right retirement roadmap in place, you can:

Turn decades of saving into sustainable income.
- Minimize taxes so you keep more of what you’ve earned.
- Invest with confidence—through both market ups and downs.
- Protect your family and legacy for future generations.

A retirement plan gives you clarity today and confidence tomorrow.

Our Fiduciary Approach to Retirement Planning

Unlike many advisors tied to product quotas or commissions, we are fiduciaries. That means:
- Your interests come first. Always.
- No hidden agendas. Our recommendations are designed around your goals, not sales targets.
- Personalized strategies. Retirement isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are our plans.

We take the time to understand your vision for retirement—whether that’s traveling the world, starting a second career, or simply enjoying time with family. Then we design a plan that supports it.

Retirement Accounts & Income Strategies

A successful retirement strategy balances multiple income sources. Here’s how we help you structure yours:
Individual Retirement Accounts
Employer-Sponsored Plans

401(k) – Pre-tax savings, often with employer matching.

403(b) – Similar benefits for educators and nonprofit employees.

457(b) & Thrift Savings Plans – Flexible options for public employees and military personnel.

Self-Employed & Small Business Options
Guaranteed Income Products
Advanced Retirement Planning Considerations

We don’t just pick accounts—we design strategies around the bigger picture:

Withdrawal Planning – Which accounts to draw from first for maximum tax efficiency.

Social Security Optimization – When and how to claim benefits for the highest lifetime payout.

Tax Strategies – Roth conversions, Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) planning, and the latest SECURE Act 2.0 rules.

Risk Management – Protecting against inflation, health care costs, and market downturns.

401 (K)
IRA
Fixed Annuities
DST

Frequently Asked Questions

01.
Am I paying too much in fees?

In our experience it is likely that you’re paying much higher fees than you even know. Our fee analysis tool
will tell you how much you are paying, and how much we are able to save you.

02.
How much risk should I be taking?

Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong answer. The better question would be “Are my
investments performing in line with the level or risk that I am taking?” We can compare your current
portfolio’s risk to the performance and tell you where there may be some pitfalls.

03.
What should I look for in a Financial Advisor?

Make sure your Advisor operates as a fiduciary, ask how they make their investment selections, what their
fees are, and how much access you have to speak with them.

04.
Are there investments or strategies available to me that I am unaware of?

Many of the portfolios we analyze are outdated, tax-inefficient, and lack many investments that were once
only available to high net-worth individuals but are now available to all retail clients.

05.
Should I work with an Advisor?

While there are certainly individuals who enjoy investing themselves, investing is a full-time job if you
want to do it correctly. We find that even those who spent their entire lives investing themselves choose to
hire an Advisor during their retirement so they can relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Vanguard
released a study stating that working with an Advisor can add 3% per year in performance due to the
Advisor’s ability to guide clients through their stated plan.

06.
Why would I rollover my 401k to an IRA?

IRA’s are much easier to tailor the investments to exactly the risk you want. In an IRA you can have
Stocks, Bonds, Low-Cost ETF’s, Direct Private Equity and Private Credit, Annuities, and CD’s.

You’ve worked hard to earn your money. Now it’s time to make sure your money works hard for you in retirement.
