Sustar Financial Group

Sustar Financial Group http://www.sustarfinancial.com Sustar Financial Group has been assisting retirees with their wealth protection planning for over three decades.

Retirement planning starts with the accumulation phase. During this time of your life you are accumulating and growing your investments. When you reach pre-retirement and retirement you reach Phase 2. This is the distribution phase of your life – the wealth protection planning and distribution phase. It’s been compared to the climb down the mountain after you’ve reached the top. (See the Mt Everest Video on our home page). Phase 2 takes a totally different approach and process to financial planning then Phase 1. If you use the same techniques and strategies in Phase 2 that you used in Phase 1 (which many advisors do) you could cause yourself unnecessary grief. Although we can, and do, work with those in Phase 1, Sustar Financial Group specializes in Phase 2 planning and all of the distinct strategies that Phase 2 planning requires. Things we don’t do:

We do not recommend putting your money all in annuities or in any one product for that matter. There are many firms that are licensed only in Life and Health Insurance that can only sell you annuities. There are other firms who can only recommend mutual funds. In most cases, we find that one product alone is not the best course of action. In contrast, we attempt to preserve your retirement wealth while providing you with a lifetime stream of income using a blended, personalized combination of many different products that could include many different types of products – including annuities where needed. We do not create “cookie-cutter” financial plans – using the same investments and products for everyone. When you walk through our door we see you as a unique individual. Like a fingerprint, no two are exactly alike. So why should your financial plan look just like somebody else’s? We create a personalized plan designed exclusively for you - addressing your needs, goals, and desires.
