Grimes Financial Group, a fiduciary investment advisory firm in Columbus, Ohio, has launched The Retirement Blueprint, a structured approach to aligning retirement income strategy, investment management, tax efficiency, risk management, long-term care, and legacy planning within a single customized framework. The firm says this planning-led approach addresses the growing gap between standalone investing and fully coordinated retirement planning.
Why it matters
As individuals and families approach or enter retirement, financial decisions around income, investments, taxes, healthcare, and legacy planning often become more complex and intertwined. The Retirement Blueprint aims to provide a comprehensive framework to help Grimes Financial Group's clients navigate these evolving retirement and wealth planning needs.
The details
The Retirement Blueprint begins by establishing an income foundation to support retirement lifestyle needs, then integrates asset growth strategies, tax planning, aging-related costs, and legacy planning into a unified strategy. This approach evaluates financial tools based on their defined role within the overall plan rather than as standalone products. Key benefits include purpose-driven coordination of investments and insurance, greater income clarity, integrated risk management, tax-aware decision-making, long-term adaptability, and legacy alignment.
