We Want to Help: Find As Much or As Little Help As You Need with Your Retirement and Financial Plans

 At NewRetirement, we imagine a world where holistic financial advice is available to everyone.

Traditionally, financial advice cost a lot and it hasn’t always been clear if the recommendations were right for you. Our mission is to harness technology to make high quality and unbiased guidance available, affordable, and understandable to everyone. 

The Problems with Traditional Advisors

Traditional financial advice – advice from financial advisors – can sometimes be problematic. It can be:

Expensive: Most advisors use an Assets Under Management (AUM) model which can cost a lot and does not necessarily align the advisor with the client’s financial goals.

Biased: Very often advisors associated with a brokerage are more interested in selling you specific financial products rather than your particular goals.

Exclusive: Many advisors won’t take on clients who don’t have much in the way of savings.

Inconsistent: Each advisor runs their own playbook and it is hard to find a match in philosophies, temperament, and expertise. Furthermore,

Unavailable: There are actually not enough great advisors available to serve even those with enough wealth to warrant an advisor.

Untrustworthy: People don’t know where to start and who to trust.

Siloed: It is not uncommon for people to get help with their investments from their workplace or bank. And, you might get guidance on insurance from an agent. Tax advice comes from an accountant. And, you are on your own for budget, goals, withdrawals, debt, alternative investments, and other important financial topics. However, all of these financial silos impact each other. Whereas integrated or holistic planning improves outcomes.

The Solution? A Hybrid (Digital and Human) Approach to Financial Planning

NewRetirement is best known for the NewRetirement Planner, a digital platform that enables you to take financial wellness into your own hands. This 360 planning system enables you to go beyond savings and investments to build and maintain a holistic financial plan. We want to help you better with your time, taxes, income, insurance, debt, real estate, benefits, health, savings, investments, and more.

Supplement Digital Planning with Human Relationships

While we are very proud of our tools, we know that sometimes people just need to talk to someone, especially about matters as important as your money.

Did you know that we supplement our digital planning tools with human relationships?

We have a vision for collaborative planning where the best elements of digital experiences are brought together with both peer and professional human expertise.

The collaboration produces better financial outcomes.
