- Assess your risk tolerance and develop an asset allocation strategy
- Manage your tax liability by projecting the effect of income taxes and developing a tax-deferral and/or tax-reduction strategy

Why a Registered Investment Advisor?
Retirement Income
You’ve worked hard to create your nest egg, and now it’s time to think about making your money work for you—but where to begin?
You deserve well-thought-out recommendations based on solid analysis of your specific financial circumstances. At Samalin Investment Counsel, we provide just that, through retirement income planning and investment management services designed to minimize the stress associated with life’s many uncertainties.
Our overriding goal is to secure, and then grow, your retirement funds for consistent cash flow—taking into consideration the unknowns related to health and longevity risks. We’ll partner with you, and offer skillful guidance, as you move toward this new stage of life. Along the way, all of our recommendations are designed to match your cash flow needs with your balance sheet, while also taking into account your risk preferences.
Here’s how it works:
You determine how much (or how little) risk you choose to take. We guide the process with you.
We recommend a forward-looking model based on your choices.
Our rebalance methodology keeps your goals on track.
After all, it’s your retirement and it’s your capital. You owe it to yourself and your family to take good care of your finances at this important time in your life.
Capital Event Management
You might be expecting a lump sum of capital from an inheritance, divorce, business or equity sale, or personal injury settlement. Our opinion is that you are well served by measuring twice and cutting once for a positive outcome. Often, there is a risk of mishandling capital events—but at Samalin, we are experienced in helping our clients manage these types of newfound financial responsibility.

Capital events have significant meaning, both emotionally and financially. You owe it to yourself to review your options with a well-seasoned team, a process that can serve you well for years to come.
Second Opinion
Perhaps you look at your investment program and wonder if the financial path you chose is the right one. You’re not alone. We offer a complimentary second-professional viewpoint and we’ll ask you:
- Are you taking too much risk? Perhaps too little?
- Are the fees you are paying, both disclosed and not disclosed, appropriate?
- How are you performing compared to your peers?
- Can you confirm that your goals are well defined and on target?
- We can discretely and appropriately answer these questions and a myriad of others
- Let’s confirm that you are on the right path
Second Opinion
Advice on multi-generational
financial matters
We know that your financial interests and concerns may span across the generations of your family and that you require investments and cash flow to meet an array of changing needs (both predictable and unpredictable).
As a parent, you may seek investment tools that will provide effectively for your children, their college tuition, weddings, and more. Or perhaps you are helping older parents with their own financial matters, or supplementing their funds with yours–for medical care and other necessities. Our team is experienced in the full scope of these cross-generational financial considerations, and we’ll help you navigate them with confidence and success.
