How the Cascades process works

unique_planning_head

It all starts with a unique planning philosophy


Our reports first solve for longevity risk, creating a sustainable income for your client. We use actuarial tables to determine mortality, and ensure income lasts well beyond the average age of death. Secondly we optimize your client’s projected cash flows by comparing three contrasting withdrawal strategies, determining which accounts should be drawn down first and which are better left last. Third, we focus on strategies to ease the administration of an estate for your client’s executors.
