401k planning made easy

Most 401k accounts face three problems. Target date funds sacrifice growth for perceived stability. Just leaving your money in an index fund exposes you to potential large downside risk during periods of market turmoil. Just earning interest will not keep up with inflation. We offer a smarter way!

Avoiding target date funds for 401k planning

Better than target date funds

Target-date funds shift allocations based on your birth year, not current market conditions. You ride every downturn with no defensive mechanism. You also risk being on the sidelines when the market is in an established uptrend.

Drawdown Protection

The closer you are to drawing down your savings, the more a deep market decline costs you. Recovering from a 50% loss requires a 100% gain — time you may not have.

Emotional Decisions Fill the Void

Without a rules-based framework, investors either panic-sell at the bottom or hold through losses they can’t afford. Both outcomes destroy long-term wealth.
