Retirement Planning

Comprehensive Retirement Planning starts with asking four critical questions:

1. Cashflow Needs In Retirement: Do you know how much you’ll need to spend in retirement to maintain your current lifestyle?
2. Savings Assessment: Are you saving enough to maintain this lifestyle in retirement?
3. Tax Optimization: Are you managing your tax liability in the most effective manner not only for today, but also during retirement?
4. Investment Risk Management: How much risk should you be taking with your investments to achieve your financial goals?


As a seasoned financial advisor, Taylan specializes in helping individuals navigate the complexities of what and how they envision their retirement. Taylan works through these questions to quantify your future retirement needs and goals, and then determine the best strategy towards achieving your goal, which is the foundation of your retirement planning strategy. Let’s embark on this journey together towards financial security and prosperity.

    Understanding Various Savings Vehicles
    Having enough income to comfortably cover all necessary expenses is a key to a successful retirement. Sources of retirement income will vary and typically include Social Security, retirement accounts and/or pension payments, as well as other sources such as investments, rental income or an inheritance. I will work with you to help itemize your projected expenses in retirement and identify potential sources of retirement income.

    Risks to Your Retirement
    Once I have taken the time to determine what kind of retirement you would like to achieve, I will work with you to take a closer look at the risks that might be standing between your retirement goals. Some of these risks may be obvious, such as market risk and the rising cost of health care, but there are others that may need to be explored. I will utilize our experience to assist you with identifying these factors.

    Impact of Taxes
    The strategies you use when drawing down your retirement savings can have a significant impact on how much you'll pay in taxes and may help you keep more of the returns. Each retiree's situation is different but establishing a tax management strategy for your investments can help you retain more of your investment returns.

The Gold Standard

Tab Image
At the famous luxury hotel chain The Ritz Carlton, every employee is held to the highest standard in client-facing roles. Here at The Talbot Group, we operate under the same mentality of providing top-notch care to our clients. We value our clients the same way they value their investments, and are always excited to take a step beyond the normal course of advisor-client interactions. Here are some of the principles we uphold:
1. Treat every client with the same level of care and respect.
Clients come to us with their most complex financial and personal concerns. However, we often find that their greatest need is to be heard, understood, and communicated with in a manner that fits within their view of the world. We firmly believe in delivering this level of service to each client.
2. Each client is to receive consistent check-ins and touchpoints.
With ongoing communication at the core of our client relationships, we are committed to keeping you abreast of any changing market conditions and delivering performance metrics, ultimately making certain that your plan continues to align with your goals and your timeline. We will keep a high degree of communication with you to ensure that your concerns and requests are being addressed in a timely manner.
3. Every financial decision is important.
A dollar is a dollar, whether it is saved, earned, or gained through investment. So, every single financial decision should align with your overall strategy – AND, if there is a way to save a dollar, it’s one less dollar that you need to earn. That’s why we tell our clients that we want to be their first call when they are making any decision involving money.
4. Developing honesty and trust is vital to advisor-client relationships.
We are privileged to hear stories about our clients' relationships with their families, their career and lifestyle aspirations, and their deepest concerns for the future. We are often among the first points of contact when our clients experience turmoil in their lives. It is our responsibility to act with extreme caution when handling sensitive information and treat clients fairly when conflicting interests arise.
