The plan addresses sequence-of-returns risk, healthcare cost projections, RMD timing, and tax-efficient withdrawal sequencing so you keep more of what you've saved.

Portfolio Risk Analysis in Nederland, TX
Most people approaching retirement have no idea how much risk their portfolio actually carries. They know their account balance — but not whether a 20% market drop would derail their income plan.
Richard Placette II uses the Riskalyze platform to assign a Risk Number to your current portfolio — a score from 1 to 99 that quantifies your exposure to market volatility. He then compares it to your personal risk tolerance score to identify any mismatch.
If your portfolio is carrying more risk than you're comfortable with — or less risk than your timeline requires — that gap needs to be addressed before you retire, not after the next market correction.

Richard Placette II works with contractors, tradespeople, healthcare professionals, and small business owners throughout Southeast Texas to build retirement plans that work around irregular income, maximize tax-deferred contributions, and create a clear path from business ownership to retirement income.
