Retire with Confidence
A Smarter Approach to Growing, Protecting, and Enhancing Your Wealth
Your retirement strategy should do more than just sustain you—it should give you financial security and peace of mind for life.
Capture market growth without the risk of losses
Secure a reliable income that lasts a lifetime
Protect your wealth from inflation, taxes, and market downturns
Your future deserves a plan designed for success.
Investing in Retirement Requires a New Mindset
As you enter this next stage, the landscape changes drastically. These risks can no longer be overlooked:
The Unpredictable Nature of the Stock Market
The Persistent Threat of Inflation
The Burden of Taxes
Conventional planning methods simply don’t account for the full picture. And in retirement, the stakes are higher than ever.
The Game Changes in Retirement
Without a strategy to address these challenges, you may face:
The Risk of Running Out of Money
The Risk of Losing Your Lifestyle
The Risk of Not Finishing Strong
Retirement isn’t just about making ends meet. It’s about protecting your lifestyle, ensuring your legacy, and finishing strong for the people and causes you care about most.
The Shift from Growth to Income
Everything you’ve been doing up until now gets reversed:
From Receiving a Steady Paycheck to Creating Your Own Paycheck
From Fixed Timelines to Unpredictable Horizons
From Market Volatility as a Growth Tool to Market Volatility as a Threat
Suddenly, the same tools and strategies you relied on during your working years may feel like a gamble.
Let’s Secure Your Retirement with Confidence
Your retirement isn’t just a phase—it’s your reward for decades of hard work. Together, we’ll create a strategy that ensures your income works as hard as you did, so you can embrace retirement with confidence and purpose.
In 2022, the Alliance was Elton's first and only nonprofit tour partner and the sole presenting partner of his blockbuster farewell tour across North America. That experience gave us the amazing opportunity to talk with thousands of fans at more than 65 live concerts and hear from millions of Elton followers online. Through that, one thing became abundantly clear - planning for the next chapter in life was on their minds and hugely important to them.
Much like Elton, many of his fans were closing one window but making plans to open a new one. Retirement, however you define it, was something people were excited about and looking forward to. But many were also unsure of how to prepare and how to pay for what could be many decades in retirement. They needed help in figuring that out.
That's why in 2023 we're continuing our partnership with Elton and his husband David Furnish to help you make a plan for your next chapter. And together, we're spreading the word about the importance of having enough protected income to have the financial freedom to follow your Yellow Brick Road to what's next.
Elton has long advocated for human dignity and economic equality for all. And in these volatile and uncertain economic times, where uncertainty reigns, he and David want you to know the importance of having a plan that gives you greater peace of mind and certainty. Because, as Elton says, "Secure tomorrows are something we all deserve."
We empathize with any anxiety the transition to retirement brings
Like you, we hear the noise created by the media and self-proclaimed experts.
Instead of getting caught up in the noise, we focus on a crucial element often missing
from retirement strategies: an approach that aligns your retirement income with your
retirement lifestyle.
The common approach? Withdraw 4% of your assets in your first year of retirement, adjusting for inflation afterward.
But let’s be honest
And it is just common sense.
Retirement requires more than just a plan to "get by." It demands a comprehensive income strategy to navigate the challenges ahead.

Elton John’s message on having the financial freedom to pursue
your bucket list
The legendary, number one male recording artist of all time talks about making a plan for the future that includes protected income to cover basic expenses, so you have the freedom to pursue your bucket list.
If you have big plans for your next chapter, now is the time to meet with your financial professional to talk about your options. It starts by figuring out what you want your future to look like – your goals, needs and wants, and living with purpose. Knowing these things and having a plan in writing will help you decide how you’re going to pay for them and live the life you want. Your advisor can help you make a financial plan that includes protected income from an annuity so that you can have peace of mind knowing that your basics are covered and you can tackle that bucket list with confidence.
