The path to retirement requires careful navigation and planning. Are you ready? Take ownership of your future now to make your golden years shine!
All roads lead to retirement and saving for this major life event starts as soon as you’re working. With tax incentives that we get from the IRS for saving for your own retirement, it’s easy. It’s cheaper too, if you invest in some solid stock funds and let the global economic growth build your assets over your lifetime. As people near retirement, they almost intuitively want to move to safe and conservative investments. I get it, but I always have to remind clients that at age 65, you could be 20 or 30 years away from your long-term goals. Investments in money market savings and CDs have never kept pace with inflation and taxes. In fact, every 20 years, our money’s worth about half as much or has about half of the purchasing power. Luckily, there are products that offer principal protection and potential growth from market indexes. A good financial advisor can help you invest, accumulate, consolidate and eventually plan for the distribution of your retirement assets to you.
A robo advisor uses algorithms to choose your investments for you, then closely monitors, adjusts, and rebalances your investments automatically. Since robo advisors use fewer humans than brokerage firms, they generally have lower fees, require a smaller minimum initial investment, and they choose from a more limited selection of investment options. A financial advisor consults with you about your goals, creates a customized investment plan, then actively manages your investments for you. A financial advisor has access to more investment options compared to a robo advisor, and they often offer guidance around estate planning, taxes5, and insurance. Working with a financial advisor generally requires reserves and a higher minimum investment
The minimum investment for our Robo Advisor Program is $5,000.
A robo advisor is ideal for someone who wants investment guidance for a lower fee. Robo advisors can put your money to work without your hands needing to be on the wheel. A robo advisor can save you from needing to sift through online investing advice and will ultimately save you time by managing your investments for you. A Robo advisor may also be good for someone who lacks the time or expertise to manage their finances, yet wants to build wealth for the future.
Our Robo Advisor leverages Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios® and is offered through our broker/dealer, CUSO Financial Services, L.P.

Generally, brokerage accounts allow you to select your own stocks and securities, and there’s a chance your portfolio may become imbalanced, which can expose you to larger losses. A robo advisor will diversify your portfolio through ETFs and indexed funds, so that in case you do have a loss, it’s not significant. Thanks to rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting, you’ll also drop investments that aren‘t doing well.
