Withdrawals may be subject to income taxes, and prior to age 59 1/2 a 10% federal penalty tax may apply.

Goal Planning

A plan to turn your vision into reality

You have a detailed vision for what you want your life to be. To realize that vision, you’ll need a plan just as detailed. Your Raymond James advisor will work closely with you to understand your personal goals – when you want to retire, where you want to live, what type of home you want, what activities interest you, what sights you want to see. Careful consideration will be given to the variables involved and how to make the most of your resources. We have the tools and resources to develop a plan that gives you the chance to achieve your goals.

Personal Retirement Planning

Planning services to help your money work smarter

The retirement landscape is changing, with future generations of retirees facing longer lifespans and greater dependence on personal savings to secure a comfortable future. You’ll need income beyond your working years. But how much? And from what sources? At Raymond James, we can assist you in allocating your resources, with consideration given to tax implications that could make your money go farther. We can help manage your cash flow – now and well into tomorrow.

Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit nor protect against loss.

Education Savings Accounts

Planning services to help students aim higher

When it comes to the high cost of higher education, there are a variety of investment vehicles and loan options that can alleviate the financial burden. At Raymond James, our advisors can help you analyze the tax benefits, ownership structure, risk and contribution limits involved – even what to do with your leftover funds if your aspiring academic earns a scholarship.

Earnings in 529 plans are not subject to federal tax and in most cases state tax, as long as you use withdrawals for eligible college expenses, such as tuition and room and board. However, if you withdraw money from a 529 plan and do not use it on an eligible college expense, you generally will be subject to income tax and an additional 10% federal tax penalty on earnings.

An investor should consider, before investing, whether the investor’s or designated beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state’s qualified tuition program.
