01

Ongoing Portfolio Management

Investment management considers retirement income sources, anticipated withdrawals, liquidity needs, tax considerations, and the portfolio’s long-term role within a client’s broader retirement circumstances.

02

Retirement Account and Rollover Evaluation

When appropriate, evaluate retirement account options following a job change or retirement. Considerations may include available investment options, fees and expenses, account features, distribution rules, services, tax considerations, and the client's overall circumstances.

03

Roth-Conversion Considerations

Evaluate potential Roth conversions as part of a client’s retirement-account investment strategy, considering account objectives, liquidity needs, expected tax impact, and coordination with the client’s tax adviser.

04

IRA and Taxable-Account Management

The Firm manages traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, rollover IRAs, taxable accounts, and, where appropriate, inherited IRA accounts.

Investment Approach

A long-term approach, without unnecessary complexity.

First Shelbourne uses diversified ETF model portfolios and focuses on aligning portfolio risk with each client's objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs, financial circumstances, and the role the assets are intended to serve. The approach is disciplined and long term rather than based on short-term market predictions or frequent trading.

A retirement-account rollover is not appropriate for every investor. Before recommending an account change, the Firm considers relevant plan features, available investment options, fees and expenses, services, withdrawal features, tax considerations, and the client’s overall financial circumstances.
