Retirement Services
Retirement planning made simple, so you can focus on living.
Retirement Income Planning Services
Retirement income planning focuses on how savings, investments, and other financial resources are used to support income needs over time.
At Apriem Advisors, retirement income planning is a core service that helps clients structure withdrawals, manage taxes, and coordinate investment strategy as part of a broader financial plan.
This service is designed to support long term sustainability and is typically delivered as part of an ongoing wealth management relationship.
What Retirement Income Planning Is Designed to Do
Retirement income planning is not about deciding when to retire. It is about designing a strategy for how income is generated, distributed, and managed once retirement assets begin to be used.
Retirement income planning is designed to help clients:
- coordinate withdrawals across different account types
- manage cash flow needs over time
- reduce unnecessary tax exposure
- align investment strategy with income needs
- support long term financial sustainability

Distribution Strategy and Withdrawal Planning
One of the primary components of retirement income planning is building a distribution strategy.
This includes evaluating:
- which accounts to draw from and when
- how taxable and tax deferred accounts interact
- required minimum distribution planning
- coordinating withdrawals with other income sources
- maintaining flexibility as spending needs change
A structured distribution strategy helps reduce risk and improve clarity around income planning.

Tax Planning as Part of Retirement Income Strategy
Taxes can significantly affect retirement income over time.
Retirement income planning often includes coordinating withdrawals with tax strategy, such as:
- managing taxable income levels
- evaluating Roth conversion opportunities
- planning for future tax brackets
- coordinating retirement income with charitable goals
- aligning income strategy with long term tax planning
Tax planning is coordinated with a client’s CPA when appropriate.

Investment Strategy Aligned With Income Needs
Investment strategy often changes once income distribution begins.
Retirement income planning includes aligning investment strategy with:
- expected withdrawal needs
- time horizon for assets
- risk tolerance and portfolio stability
- diversification and long term growth considerations
Investment strategies are reviewed regularly and adjusted as circumstances evolve.
Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.

Required Minimum Distribution Planning
Required minimum distributions can create tax and cash flow complexity.
Retirement income planning may include:
- evaluating RMD timing and impact
- coordinating RMDs with other income sources
- managing tax implications of required distributions
- planning for changes in RMD rules over time
Proper planning helps avoid surprises and supports long term income management.
