Services Designed for Union Members
Helping Members Get More From Their Retirement Savings
401(k) Savings Plan Investment Review
We review and analyze Union members’ 401(k) contributions and investment allocation. We’ll compile a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations for improving asset allocation and their portfolio’s overall performance. Then, we’ll be present for every subsequent step as we guide your members through important financial decisions.
Retirement Income Planning
To adequately plan for retirement, Union members need to know how much money they need in order to retire confidently. Pereira Wealth Management’s Financial Planners will help your retiring members determine how much need along with their projected income based on their pension, disbursement options, and liquidation strategies.
IRA 72(t) Income Distribution Analysis (SEPP)
We can help Union members find effective tax strategies relevant to their situation, such as enabling them to withdraw their retirement funds without incurring the typical 10% penalty. We look for appropriate tax strategies to help members keep more of what they’ve earned and saved, such as taking substantially equal periodic payments (SEPP).
Explore Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA)
We offer Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) consultations and services for employees who hold company shares. This is a savings plan stock distribution option that can help enable members to take possession of their shares without rolling them over into an IRA. When suitable, this option can generate both long-term capital gain and tax advantages.
Pension Annuity
vs Lump Sum
The distribution method that members choose for withdrawing from their pension fund can have a profound impact on their finances. We help Local Union members understand the benefits and drawbacks of annuity and lump sum pension payments. They’ll be empowered to make informed, confident financial decisions in support of their goals for retirement.
Investment Portfolio Review Analysis
We offer a careful review and analysis of Union members' investment portfolios, after which, we’ll provide a detailed report and help them understand how those investments are performing. Then, we’ll discuss ways to help enhance their portfolio performance by optimizing their strategy of asset allocation among cash, bonds, and stock.
