Retirement planning for educators, families, and professionals

Your rollover is more than a transfer.It is a retirement decision.

FortiGuard helps educators and other professionals understand what their pensions and retirement accounts can do next—and how they can work together to support the life and income they want.

A plan before paperwork.

Start with the decision—not a product or transfer form.

Educator retirement specialty

Your pension is only one part of your retirement story.

About 85% of the families FortiGuard serves are educators. We help connect pension decisions with 403(b), 457(b), IRA, Social Security, retirement timing, and the income needed throughout retirement.

After your consultation, you can receive a complimentary, personalized Genesis Retirement Blueprint that turns the conversation into a visual planning report.

The FortiGuard rollover path

Clarity before movement.

Moving retirement money can affect taxes, investment choices, fees, guarantees, beneficiaries and future income. We slow the decision down so the next step makes sense.

Start with a conversation
  1. 01

    Understand what you have

    We review the account, plan rules, costs, access needs, beneficiaries and the role this money should play in retirement.

  2. 02

    Compare the real choices

    Leave it, move it, consolidate it or reposition part of it. You see the tradeoffs before making a decision.

  3. 03

    Build around your income plan

    We coordinate the account with Social Security, pensions, liquidity, other savings and the income you want in retirement.

  4. 04

    Move it with care

    If a rollover is appropriate, we help coordinate the transfer and keep the process clear from paperwork through follow-up.
