With a clear financial snapshot and defined goals, design a strategy that balances growth, risk, and tax efficiency. This plan should include allocation targets, savings cadence, account choices, and rebalancing rules.

Asset Allocation🔗

Set target percentages for equities, fixed income, and alternative assets informed by your risk tolerance and time horizon.

• Conservative: higher bond allocation for capital preservation.
• Moderate: balanced equity/bond mix for growth with stability.
• Aggressive: higher equity exposure for long-term growth.

Investment Selection🔗

Choose low-cost, diversified vehicles like ETFs and index funds. Use active managers selectively and prefer tax-efficient funds for taxable accounts.

Tax & Debt Considerations🔗

Optimize asset location between taxable and tax-advantaged accounts and prioritize paying down high-interest debt while contributing to retirement accounts.

Savings Plan🔗

Automate contributions to take advantage of dollar-cost averaging. Set milestones and adjust contributions as income or expenses change.
