Advanced Time Segmentation

Turn Your Retirement Savings Into A Plan For Income

Retirement changes the job of your money. Advanced Time Segmentation, or ATS, organizes your assets according to when you may need them, creating a structured approach to current income, future spending, and long-term growth. The goal is to help support the lifestyle you have planned for while giving portions of your portfolio more time to remain invested.

Put Every Part Of Your Portfolio To Work

Each segment of an ATS strategy has a purpose and a time horizon. By matching different investments with different stages of retirement, the strategy can help meet near-term income needs while keeping future goals in view.

We begin by understanding what you actually need each month to live comfortably. From there, ATS organizes your assets into segments for lifetime income, fixed income, balanced investments, long-term growth, and income and growth. Each segment has a defined role and time horizon, helping you see how today’s spending needs connect to income later in retirement. Your strategy can also account for pensions, Social Security, other income sources, risk tolerance, and personal goals. As your life and financial needs change, the segments can be reviewed and adjusted as part of your broader retirement plan.

How We Use Advanced Time Segmentation

How We Use Advanced Time Segmentation

Near-term assets are positioned to support planned withdrawals. Intermediate investments are intended to help replenish that income over the following years, while longer-term assets remain invested for future income needs and growth. As each segment approaches its intended time horizon, assets can be moved forward through the strategy. We review the structure over time and adjust it for spending, inflation, market performance, and changes in your retirement goals.

How The ATS Segments Work Together

ATS coordinates five portfolio segments with different roles, investment approaches, and time horizons. Together, they are designed to support current withdrawals, help replenish future income, and give growth-oriented assets more time to remain invested through market cycles.
