Good Economic Data-What Will The Fed Do?

The 2- and 10- year bond curve remain inverted, and rising. How will the Fed react to good economic data? Analysts now wait to see how many rate increases are in store for the rest of 2023. Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano and Derek Felske discuss.

Does The New RMD Age Affect Your Retirement Planning?

Last week, we asked Axiom readers if the SECURE Act 2.0’s new Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age affected their financial planning. As usual, our readers showed insight and savvy – 65% indicated the change wouldn’t affect their plan.

Here’s what Eric Strom, CFP®, EA has to say about the new RMD age:

“The backing up of 72 to 73 is only a minor change. But if you zoom out and consider that it used to be 70 1/2 and will eventually be 75 (under current law), that is a significant change – but only for the 20% of people who are only taking the minimum required distributions. For those people the backing up gives more flexibility to do creative tax planning after retirement.”

If you have any questions about your Required Minimum Distribution, please reach out to your Wealth Manager or Client Service Manager!

There’s No Time Limit On HSA Reimbursements

If you pay for any medical expenses and have an HSA, you can wait until a time of your choosing to be reimbursed. Deferring reimbursements in this manner can allow contributions to an HSA to grow tax-free, like contributions to an IRA.

If you’d like to find out if an HSA makes sense for you and your plan, talk to your Wealth Manager or Client Service Manager.
