Pieroth Plan
We can help you prepare for the future with a Pieroth plan designed especially for you. A good Pieroth plan is a blueprint that lets you save, spend, invest, manage risk and approach your wants and needs with confidence.
Financial Plan Evaluation
How does your financial plan stack up? We can help you evaluate if you're on track to meet your goals and help with budgeting for the future you want.
Assessing Your Financial Plan
1) Does your financial plan provide an investment strategy to help you reach your financial goals and objectives? The overall success of your financial plan is partly dependent on an appropriate investment recommendation,
based on your financial goals and objectives. At Pieroth, we take into account every information you provide us to help build an in-depth understanding of the objectives for your investments. Using tools like portfolio simulations
and historical modeling, we can provide an investment recommendation we believe is most likely to help you reach your goals. This recommendation provides the foundation for your future financial success and may help you avoid
running out of money in retirement.
2) Is your financial plan helping to ensure you leave the legacy you want? Many investors find their investment time horizon may last beyond their lifetime, giving them the opportunity to use their Holdings to support
someone or something important to them. While supplementary to an appropriate investment recommendation, planning for a legacy is a common desire for many of our clients. At Pieroth, we provide education and resources to help
you invest and prepare for your retirement and legacy goals.
Retirement Income
Think Big When Planning Your Retirement Income
There is more to retirement planning than “saving more" Or "working longer.
When thinking about retirement planning, an important consideration for investors is how much income they'll be able to generate. It can be scary to think about giving up a paycheck and trusting that your Holdings will
last the rest of your life, or perhaps even beyond. Knowing your retirement investments have the ability to provide enough income to cover at least a significant portion of your expenses is a key to keeping you from outliving
your retirement funds. However, there is significantly more to successful retirement income planning than just looking for how to generate the most income. It's important to understand holistically what you want to get from
your retirement, how you approach managing your finances, and which sector you choose if you want to create a retirement plan that can support your goals.
Defining Your Retirement Goals
While you could embark on your retirement planning without first defining your retirement goals, it's easy for this approach to backfire. It's tempting to simply seek the highest returns, assuming that by amassing as
much as you can, you'll be able to figure out what you want to do once you're retired. Unfortunately, this can lead you to build pitfalls into your plan-such as taking unnecessary risk or chasing "hot" investments that can
work against you on the long run.
Different goals require drastically different sums to accomplish
For some investors, plans may be aimed solely at maintaining their current lifestyle throughout their sunset years. For others, the goal may be to leave a legacy, requiring a plan that can produce income well past retirement's
end. Being able to define what you want is the first step in being able to estimate your cost of living, which is necessary when you begin planning the income you'll need for a successful retirement.
Understanding Your Spending
While estimates based on your goals are important as a basis for your planning, you should also calculate the demands of your expenses as you approach retirement to help ensure a smooth transition. These can help you
understand how well your planning for larger goals meshes with how you'll be extracting funds, and what type of adjustments you can make if you find you're ahead or behind your plan.
This will mean looking at your current costs of living - for example, you'll certainly want to include:
* Your monthly grocery bill
* Your monthly energy and utilities bill
* Your debts (car loans, credit cards, mortgage)
* Your tax liabilities
* Your insurance and medical costs
* Discretionary spending (movies, TV, books, meals out, travel, etc.)
Remember that some of your costs may change immediately after retirement. For example, if you're no longer commuting to work, you may well see spending on gas drop. As such, it can be helpful to look at expenses
again a few months into your retirement to see how your estimates matched.
In an ideal world, you would be lucky enough to have sufficient retirement income to cover the costs you do have with some room to spare. If so, it may be easier to treat yourself to some of retirement's non-essential
rewards, such as fine wines, a boat, exotic vacations, or a classic automobile, as you're continuing to see your funds grow, However, it's wise not to get too comfortable even in this position, as you may find your spending
in retirement grow more and more with time.
How Your Save Impacts How You Can Spend
The sector you choose to save for retirement can impact the income you are able to take from your investment. Depending on your time horizon, cash flow needs and other factors impacting your situation, these decisions
can impact your retirement savings strategy.
This means that when you are planning how to generate retirement income, you should always look at the time horizon.

Investment Philosophy
The principles that guide all of our investment decisions.
Supply and Demand Determine All Prices
Like anything traded in a market economy, stocks prices are driven by supply and demand. Demand factors reign in the near term. They can wiggle for any reason-sentiment, political factors or fundamentals. Longer term,
though, supply factors dominate.
Market Cycles Can Be Forecast, Their Short-Term Wiggles can too
While we don't believe consistently timing daily, weekly or monthly market moves is possible, we do believe cyclical changes are foreseeable. Often, such changes are driven by events the vast majority of investors either
overlook or interpret incorrectly: disconnects between fundamental reality and the investing public's perception of reality. Successful forecasting requires assessing both. Stocks are forward-looking, yet most investors' feelings
are heavily influenced by the recent past. Bull markets tend to begin during recessions~-when people feel most bleak-and end during euphoric "booms."
No Investment Is Permanently Superior
Different sectors outperform at different times. For example, smaller stocks sometimes outperform larger (and vice versa), foreign and domestic trade off leadership, and dividend-paying stocks sometimes outperform non-dividend
paying. No style or class of security is permanently superior, leadership rotates irregularly. Our performance trends typically last over a foreseeable time frame, providing opportunities for investors to capitalize. Our view
stands in contrast with other firms who argue the inherent superiority of a certain size, style or type of investment.
