Western International Securities Advisor Featured in Worth Magazine
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2015 -- Marlin Smith, and his team of wealth managers, was recently featured in Worth Magazine’s Leading Wealth Advisors section.
Mr. Smith’s profile included his essay, “How can I keep my retirement funds intact if there is another downturn?” In it, Smith writes that taking withdrawals from retirement accounts only exacerbate the effect of poor market performance in down years. Withdrawals during downturns in the initial years of retirement are especially devastating, even with the usual volatility and downturns. Traditionally, diversification may help smooth over some of those down years.
Marlin went on to suggest that one strategy for protecting against market volatility is to include cash-value life insurance within retirement plans. Most advisors use a mixture of equity and fixed income as a diversification tool for portfolios. However, timing tax-free withdrawals and loans from the cash value in a life insurance policy may help investors avoid locking in losses in their primary retirement accounts. This gives individuals time to recover.
Don Bizub, CEO of Western International Securities, commented that “Marlin’s essay provides an innovative approach to helping clients protect their retirement funds during difficult times.”
