    Many retirement planning guides focus on finances, but we believe a satisfying retirement goes beyond how much money you have saved. It’s also about how you intend to use your savings.

    This message is provided for informational purposes only, reflects our general views on investing and should not be relied upon as recommendations or financial planning advice. We encourage you to seek personalized advice from qualified professionals, including (without limitation) tax professionals, regarding all personal finance issues. While we can counsel on tax efficiency and general tax considerations, Motley Fool Wealth Management ("MFWM") does not (and is not permitted to) provide tax or legal advice. Clients who need such advice should consult tax and legal professionals. This article may not be relied upon as personalized financial planning or tax advice.

    Motley Fool Wealth Management is an SEC registered investment advisor with a fiduciary duty that requires it to act in the best interests of clients and to place the interests of clients before its own. HOWEVER, REGISTRATION AS AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR DOES NOT IMPLY ANY LEVEL OF SKILL OR TRAINING. Access to Motley Fool Wealth Management is only available to MFWM clients pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement and acceptance of our Client Relationship Summary and Brochure (Form ADV, Parts 2A and 2B). You are encouraged to read these documents carefully. All investments involve risk and may lose money. Motley Fool Wealth Management does not guarantee the results of any of its advice or account management.

    During discussions with our Wealth Advisors, they may provide advice with respect to 401(k) and IRA rollovers into accounts that are managed by Motley Fool Wealth Management. Such recommendations pose potential conflicts of interest in that rolling retirement savings into a MFWM managed account will generate ongoing asset-based fees for Motley Fool Wealth Management that it would not otherwise receive.
