Retirement & annuities

Getting to retirement, and making it last once you are there

Overview

Traditional and Roth IRAs and 401(k) rollovers while you are saving, and managed withdrawals or annuities once you draw an income. The two phases need different thinking, and we plan for both.

The withdrawal decision matters more than most people expect. We model the sustainable income from your savings and show you the probability of it lasting, rather than quoting a single comfortable number.

Why HBI

One relationship, one fee, in writing

Wealth clients deal with one named banker across banking, credit, investments and fiduciary matters. That person knows your full position and does not need to be briefed each time you call.

We charge a single annual fee stated in dollars, take no commission from product providers, and manage every portfolio to a mandate you have read and signed.

Good to know

How we look after you

Three commitments that apply to every wealth product, this one included.

Reported after fees

Performance is shown quarterly, net of every fee, against the benchmark in your mandate. Gross figures sit beside it so you can see what the fee costs.

Held in your name

Investments are registered to you with an independent custodian. They are not on our balance sheet and are not available to our creditors.

Reviewed on a schedule

Your mandate is reviewed every year and your will and structures every two, or sooner after a marriage, a death, a sale or a move abroad.

Questions

Questions clients actually ask

If yours is not here, a banker will answer it directly.

A Traditional IRA may give you a tax deduction now and is taxed on withdrawal. A Roth is funded with after-tax money and qualified withdrawals are tax-free. We model both against your expected tax bracket in retirement.

Managed withdrawals keep the savings and the risk with you; an annuity transfers both to the insurer in exchange for guaranteed income. Many retirees do best with a blend, and we model that explicitly.

Yes, by direct rollover into an IRA, which avoids tax withholding. It usually takes two to three weeks, and we compare the fees in your existing plan before recommending it.

It depends on your age, savings and other income. As a general guide, above 5% carries material shortfall risk over a thirty-year retirement. We model your specific position.
