Is your retirement ready to S.A.I.L?
Focused on You.
Grounded in Strategy.
Built for What’s Next.
We help successful families reduce risk, minitaxes, protect income, and retire with confidence — using a personalized framework we call S.A.I.L.
The Compass
Your Direction, your destination
Most retirees are sailing blind — unsure where they're headed or how to get there. The Compass is our deep discovery process. We help you clarify your goals, understand your financial landscape, and determine exactly where you’re going — before we move a single dollar.
The Anchor
Protect what you've built
Your retirement plan shouldn’t drift with the market. The Anchor is our tax and income protection strategy — built to steady your financial future. We use proven tactics like Roth conversions, IRMAA avoidance, and RMD smoothing to keep your plan from capsizing.
The SAIL
Your retirement plan, simplified
Once your direction is clear and your anchor is secure, we implement your complete S.A.I.L. strategy — a step-by-step framework that makes sure nothing gets missed.

The Rule of 100

Volatility isn’t your friend anymore—especially when you need consistent income.
Our Unique Process
What exactly does S.A.I.L mean?
S.A.I.L. is more than a catchy acronym — it’s the foundation of every plan we build.
Most retirees think retirement is about hitting a number. But the truth is:
Retirement is about staying financially steady through decades of economic change, tax law shifts, and unexpected life events.
Our S.A.I.L. Process ensures your plan isn’t just designed to survive — but to thrive.
Breakdown:
S — Secure
“Protect what you can’t afford to lose.”
We help you allocate your assets in a way that aligns with your goals, timeline, and risk tolerance.
This means:
Stress-testing your portfolio for volatility
Reducing unnecessary risk near retirement
Incorporating stable, income-producing assets
A — Anchor
“Your tax-smart foundation.”
Taxes are the #1 silent killer of retirement income.
We use powerful tools like Roth conversions, RMD smoothing, and IRMAA reduction strategies to help:
Minimize taxes now and later
Avoid the widow’s tax penalty
Eliminate Medicare surcharges and bracket creep
This isn’t tax prep. This is tax strategy — and it’s often worth six figures.
I — Income
“Income is the outcome.”
A retirement plan without a year-by-year income strategy is like sailing without a map.
We help you:
Strategically time Social Security
Layer income sources to reduce volatility
Build a withdrawal plan that balances growth, liquidity, and confidence
L — Legacy
“Leave more than money.”
We’ll help you structure your assets to pass on wealth intentionally — with clarity and tax-efficiency.
Ensure beneficiaries are protected
Avoid probate surprises
Transfer wealth in a way that honors your values

WE PROUDLY PARTNER WITH BISON WEALTH:
Why We Partnered with Bison
We wanted to stay true to our Texas roots as a locally owned and operated Registered Investment Adviser but at the same time we felt our clients
deserved more than a local firm could deliver to them, alone.
We chose to partner with Bison, a world-class Turnkey Asset Management Platform (TAMP), because we believe our clients deserve
the same level of planning, protection, and opportunity that billionaires receive. This gives us the power and resources of a ten-billion-dollar family office
behind us.
Bison was founded with a vision to help families Plan, Protect, and Prosper—the same core pillars that guide our philosophy. Backed by the Terry and Kim Pegula Family Office (East Asset Management) and co-founded with operating partner Teton Capital Partners, Bison is far more than just another investment platform. It’s the financial infrastructure built by and for elite-level wealth management.
Terry Pegula’s rise from petroleum engineer to billionaire entrepreneur and professional sports team owner brought with it access to the highest tiers of financial strategy and planning. That level of access, insight, and capability is now available to you—through our partnership with Bison.
By integrating Bison’s institutional-grade platform, we’re able to deliver:
Access to best-in-class investment models and institutional money managers
Tax-efficient strategies that adapt as laws and markets change
Streamlined financial technology that simplifies your experience
Family-office level planning capabilities—without the gatekeeping
This isn’t just a platform. It’s a philosophy—one built for resilience, opportunity, and legacy.
