Clear Planning That Connects Your Full Financial Picture

What Our Retirement Planning Services Include
Retirement planning in St. Louis helps you coordinate the different parts of your financial life so they align with your long-term goals, risk tolerance, and changing needs. At JAG, we focus on building a plan that supports how you live today while also preparing you for retirement, with the versatility to adjust as life and markets evolve.
Comprehensive Financial Plan Development
Personalized financial plans are developed based on your current financial position and long-term objectives. Our main goal is to help you create a structured roadmap designed to guide decision-making and growth over time, not just at a single point.
Retirement Income Planning
We help you figure out how your money turns into income in retirement by helping you decide when to draw from which accounts, how to make it last, and how to adjust along the way. The focus is on creating a structured and consistent income approach over time.
Investment Strategy & Portfolio Alignment
Your investments should support your retirement, not work against it. Our strategies help align your portfolio with your timeline, comfort with risk, and income needs, while also making adjustments over time to keep everything on track.
Tax-Aware Planning
A solid financial plan for retirement should involve strategically managing withdrawals, investments, and account types to minimize lifetime tax liabilities. This may involve a variety of strategies, such as diversifying tax buckets, sequencing withdrawals to manage taxable income levels, performing Roth conversions, and utilizing tax-loss harvesting.
Employer Plan & IRA Rollover Guidance
If you are transitioning from an employer-sponsored retirement plan, we help you evaluate your available options — whether that includes staying in your current plan, rolling assets into a new plan, or moving them into an IRA. Each option is reviewed based on fees, investment choices, and long-term implications.
Risk Management Strategies
A strong retirement plan is one that accounts for various potential risks. To help you maintain an enduring financial approach, we’ll review risk management strategies with you to help address uncertainties as they arise.
Estate & Legacy Considerations
Planning for the transfer of wealth is an important component of retirement planning. We help align your financial strategy with your estate planning goals, charitable intentions, and legacy objectives.
Ongoing Monitoring & Plan Adjustments
Retirement planning is a unique, ongoing process that may evolve over time. We continuously monitor your plan and adjust as needed in response to market changes, life events, and evolving financial goals to help keep your strategy aligned over time.

Our Approach to Saint Louis Retirement Planning
Step 1: Understand your goals
We help you outline financial goals, such as when you want to retire, how you want to live, and what level of income you’ll need to support that lifestyle over time.

Step 3: Build a retirement income strategy
We’ll help structure how you’ll turn your savings into income by planning withdrawals, coordinating account types, and factoring in taxes and longevity.
Step 4: Ongoing adjustments
We refine your plan over time based on market conditions, changes in retirement timing, healthcare needs, and income requirements.
Why Retirement Planning Matters More Than Ever
Retirement today looks very different from previous generations. While planning for your retirement, emerging factors should be considered, such as:
It’s increasingly common for retirement to last 20–30 years or more. That extended timeline places greater pressure on your savings to not only last, but also to continue supporting your lifestyle over decades.
Market downturns early in retirement may have an outsized impact on your portfolio. Without a plan in place, withdrawing income during periods of volatility might reduce long-term sustainability.
The transition from saving to withdrawing over time presents a variety of new tax challenges. Managing distributions across various account types (such as pre-tax, Roth, and taxable accounts) often requires careful coordination to help avoid unnecessary tax burdens.
For many people, healthcare may be one of the most unpredictable expenses in retirement. Planning and managing expenses for insurance, out-of-pocket costs, and potential long-term care is foundational for protecting your financial stability.
Even moderate inflation may potentially erode purchasing power over time — especially for retirees relying on fixed or semi-fixed income sources. A strong plan accounts for maintaining income that can adapt over time.
