The Quiet Risks Retirees Face
Retirement Is Not About Chasing Returns.
When paychecks stop, the rules change. Big swings in the market, unnecessary fees, and avoidable taxes can quietly erode the income you’re counting on for the next 25–30 years.
You may be wondering:
- What happens if the market drops early in my retirement?
- Are high fees quietly draining my nest egg every year?
- Am I overpaying in taxes on my retirement income?
- Is my advisor legally required to put my interests first?
- Will my money last, even if I live longer than expected?
These are planning problems, not guessing-game problems. They require discipline, structure, and a clear strategy—not speculation.
What Most Retirees Want Instead
- A clear, written retirement income plan
- Lower, transparent advisory fees
- Protection from unnecessary risk
- A tax-aware withdrawal strategy
- The confidence to enjoy retirement without second-guessing every headline
The ArcVest Approach
Calm, Evidence-Based Retirement Wealth Management
ArcVest is an independent, fiduciary Registered Investment Advisor focused on retirement income, not speculation. We use a disciplined, research-backed process to help you turn savings into sustainable income.
Evidence-Based Investing
We build globally diversified portfolios using low-cost index funds and factor-based strategies—not stock picking, market timing, or speculation.
- Strategic asset allocation
- Disciplined rebalancing
- Risk matched to your income needs
Tax-Aware Retirement Planning
We design your income strategy to reduce lifetime taxes, not just this year’s bill—so more of your money stays working for you.
- Tax-efficient withdrawal sequencing
- Roth conversion strategies when appropriate
- Coordination across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts
Transparent Fiduciary Advice
As a fiduciary, we are legally required to act in your best interest. No commissions. No proprietary products. No hidden incentives.
- Clear, written recommendations
- Simple, understandable explanations
- Fees that are easy to see and easy to compare
In 30–45 minutes, we’ll review your current plan and outline specific steps to strengthen your retirement income.
Retirement Income Planning
Turn Your Savings into a Reliable Paycheck.
The biggest risk in retirement is not a bad year in the market—it’s running out of money because of an uncoordinated plan. ArcVest helps you design a withdrawal strategy that supports your lifestyle while managing risk.
- Create sustainable withdrawal strategies tailored to your goals
- Manage sequence-of-returns risk so early market drops don’t derail your plan
- Coordinate Social Security timing with your portfolio withdrawals
- Plan for required minimum distributions (RMDs) before they create tax surprises
- Structure tax-efficient distributions across accounts and account types
You’ll see a clear, year-by-year picture of where your income will come from—and how long your money is projected to last under different scenarios.
What about sequence of returns risk?
We stress-test your plan against bad markets early in retirement and adjust withdrawals, cash reserves, and allocation so a rough decade doesn’t force you to change your lifestyle overnight.
Transparent, Low Advisory Fees
Lower Fees Help Protect Your Lifetime Retirement Income.
Typical advisors charge 1.00%–1.25% per year. ArcVest charges 0.40% up to $4M and 0.25% above. Over a 20–30 year retirement, that difference can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars staying in your account instead of leaving as fees.
During your Retirement Review, we’ll show you—in dollars and cents—how your current fees compare and what that could mean for your income 10, 20, and 30 years from now.

Questions Retirees Commonly Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see your question here, we’re happy to discuss it during your Retirement Review.
How is ArcVest different from other advisors?
ArcVest is an independent fiduciary Registered Investment Advisor focused on retirement income planning. We do not sell commissioned products, we don’t receive revenue-sharing from funds, and we primarily use low-cost index funds and evidence-based strategies. Our role is to design and manage a long-term plan for your retirement income, taxes, and investment risk—not to sell you products.
What happens if the market declines in retirement?
Market declines are a normal part of investing, especially over a 20–30 year retirement. The real risk is being forced to sell too much during a downturn. We address this with diversified portfolios, appropriate cash and bond buffers, disciplined rebalancing, and a withdrawal strategy that adjusts based on conditions. Before you retire, we stress-test your plan against severe downturns so you know in advance how we would respond.
How do you generate income without taking excessive risk?
We do not chase high yields or speculate on risky assets. Instead, we combine diversified stock exposure for long-term growth with high-quality bonds and cash reserves for stability. Income often comes from a combination of dividends, interest, and planned withdrawals from your portfolio in a tax-aware way. We set a withdrawal rate that is designed to be sustainable under conservative assumptions.
Are there any hidden fees?
Our advisory fees are straightforward: 0.40% per year on assets up to $4M and 0.25% above that. We do not earn commissions, we do not mark up products, and we do not receive compensation from the funds we use. You will also see the underlying fund expenses, which we intentionally keep low by using institutional-class index funds when available.
Do you sell products or earn commissions?
No. ArcVest does not sell annuities, insurance, or proprietary investment products, and we do not earn commissions. Our only compensation comes from the transparent advisory fee you see on your agreement and statements. This helps align our incentives with yours: we do better when you do better.
