Understanding the Impacts of Inflation on Retirement with Chris Del Col

One thing that we have been discussing a lot with our clients recently is, inflation. As we retire and we think we have so much money to live on and all of a sudden, our cost of living becomes higher and higher. What should we be doing to shore up our financial plan and our portfolio? What are some things that we should be thinking about? In today’s show, we want to take time to better understand inflation. Our next guest is an Investment Consultant with our team, Guidance Point Advisors. In his 27 years in the financial services industry, he’s provided capital market expertise to some of the world’s largest money management institutions. Over the course of his career, he's transacted in multiple types of fixed income securities, and securitized US treasuries, agencies, corporates, and municipals. Prior to joining Guidance Point Advisors, he spent fifteen (15) years at Goldman Sachs, six (6) years as a director at Deutsche Bank, and six (6) years as a managing director at Nomura Securities.
