R4 Investments: Four Phases of Investment Planning

The initial phase of our structured process includes:

  • First, inventory all investment, financial, real estate and business assets

  • Next, R4 will back test* and analyze the assets at an aggregated and individual account level basis with a
    focus on:

    • Performance, fees, and risk (i.e. concentration/diversification, inflation, cyclical positioning, interest
      rate exposure)

  • Lastly, these findings and reports are shared with you

The second phase includes:

  • Working with you to “drill down” on the existing consumption pattern and to forecast the post-retirement
    consumption needs

  • Working with you to learn about your investment/financial philosophy, risk tolerance and to further “drill
    down” on all assets and accounts

The third phase includes:

  • Engaging with you with the goal of helping to eliminate the unnecessary risks that were identified in the prior
    phases

  • Using your input, R4 will develop a model portfolio to determine if it is possible to align the priorities and
    objectives:

    • R4 has successfully created a model portfolio if the projected cash-flow equals or exceeds the desired
      cash-flow given the client’s risk profile

  • The difference between your current portfolio and the model portfolio will be the basis for any investment
    recommendation

The fourth phase includes:

  • Quarterly investment reviews (in-person preferably)

  • Availability to R4
