A Refreshing Approach to Wealth Management

What Wealth Harvesting Means for You

The financial challenges you’ll face in planning and retirement are many and complicated — an ever changing financial landscape, the unknown longevity of your time in retirement, inflation and rising cost of living, and market uncertainty, to name a few. In fact, the road ahead is so unpredictable, that, even as you enter retirement, you probably feel that you can’t confidently spend your retirement money.

Our Harvesting Strategy

From planning to construction, management, and ongoing communication, we never forget that down markets will happen and preparation is the key to thriving through them. The harvesting strategy helps preserve your financial confidence through inevitable market volatility. 

The goal of our harvesting strategy is sustainable wealth management. Making your hard-earned wealth last as long as you domaybe even longer.  We apply a similar planning process to the systematic withdrawal strategies by constructing balanced portfolios of quality investments, diversified across a variety of securities. There are two distinct and important additional steps to our process:

1. Fund the retirement income gap—We let the amount allocated to short term bonds, funds, and money markets be guided by how much of your spending needs are funded by new money sources (your retirement income gap). We build your plan to fill this gap from reserves, without the need to sell stocks to do so. 

2. Invest old money to generate new money—We help keep that retirement income gap lower by avoiding investments that don’t pay dividends or interest. We gravitate towards companies who pay substantial dividends, have a history of raising them regularly, and have the fundamentals in place to continue those dividend payments and increases going forward. 



The harvesting strategy gets its name by its sell discipline. When the consumption balance gets low, we replenish these reserves with the portfolio investments that have appreciated. We feel that selling into strength on our schedule as your needs dictate is preferable to selling into potential declines as your resolve fades or your needs arise at inopportune times.

We think of it as living off the fruit of the tree, not the branches, trunk, or roots.

How Wealth Harvesting Works

How Wealth Harvesting Works

Our strategy is designed to help cultivate sustainability and longevity while providing for your needs. This approach is built on one key principle: spend “new money” (pensions, dividends, interest, earned income, etc.) and let “old money” stay invested. The primary goal is to help provide for your needs by harvesting the fruit of your investment portfolio without having to sell quality investments. That key principle informs our asset allocation and investment strategy. We look to position your portfolio in high quality dividend securities that generate a reasonable flow of new money each year. Our secondary goal is to help you find confidence so you won’t have the need or even be inclined to sell your quality long term investments into down markets.
