QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Better decisions often begin with better questions.

You do not need to become a financial expert before meeting with one. But understanding what to ask can help you evaluate your own financial life — and the professionals helping you make important decisions.

01
QUESTIONS ABOUT

Your Financial Life

? How much income will I actually need in retirement? +
Why it matters: Retirement is not simply about reaching a certain account balance. It is about creating enough sustainable income to support the life you actually want to live.
? What happens if markets decline at the wrong time? +
Why it matters: Market declines can affect a plan differently when withdrawals are being taken. Understanding how your strategy may respond during difficult markets is an important part of retirement planning.
? Am I holding the right amount of cash? +
Why it matters: Too little liquidity can create unnecessary pressure when life changes. Too much cash may reduce the long-term growth potential of your overall financial picture.
? Should I be paying taxes now or later? +
Why it matters: The timing and source of future income can affect taxes throughout retirement. Having different types of accounts may create more flexibility when income is needed.
? Are all the pieces of my financial life actually coordinated? +
Why it matters: Investments, retirement income, protection, taxes, cash flow, and legacy decisions can affect one another. A strong strategy considers how those pieces work together.
? If something happened to me, would my family know what to do? +
Why it matters: A financial strategy should not depend entirely on one person remembering every account, policy, beneficiary, or important financial decision.
? What am I missing? +
Why it matters: Sometimes the greatest value of financial planning is identifying a risk, opportunity, or decision you did not know you needed to consider.
02
QUESTIONS ABOUT

Your Financial Professional

? How are you compensated? +
Why it matters: Financial professionals may receive advisory fees, planning fees, commissions, ongoing compensation, salary, incentives, or a combination depending on the services being provided.
? Will your compensation change depending on what I choose? +
Why it matters: Different services and financial solutions may involve different compensation structures. Understanding those differences helps provide context before you make a decision.
? In what capacity are you working with me? +
Why it matters: A professional may provide investment advisory services, insurance services, or other financial services, and the nature of the relationship can differ depending on the service being provided.
? Are you independent? +
Why it matters: Understanding whether a professional can evaluate solutions from multiple providers or primarily works within a particular platform gives you useful context about how options may be selected.
? What licenses or credentials do you hold? +
Why it matters: Licenses and professional credentials help explain the types of financial services a professional is qualified or permitted to provide.
? How do you decide what to recommend? +
Why it matters: You should understand whether recommendations begin with your goals, circumstances, needs, and financial picture rather than simply beginning with a particular product.
? What happens after we implement the strategy? +
Why it matters: Financial lives change. Understanding how your professional reviews, monitors, and adapts your strategy helps clarify what the ongoing relationship actually includes.

A note about compensation

Different compensation structures are not automatically better or worse. What matters is understanding how your financial professional is paid, what services you are receiving, what potential conflicts may exist, and whether the recommendations are appropriate for your circumstances.

THE L.I.G.H.T. FRAMEWORK

Five questions. One financial life.

The L.I.G.H.T. Framework helps organize the major parts of your financial life so decisions can be viewed together — not in isolation.

L - Liquid
LIQUID

What can you access now?

Cash reserves, emergency funds, and accessible resources help create flexibility when life changes or opportunities appear.

I - Income
INCOME

What keeps life moving?

Income planning considers how today's resources — and tomorrow's — may support your lifestyle, retirement, and changing needs.

G - Growth
GROWTH

What keeps tomorrow expanding?

Growth helps long-term assets continue working toward future goals, inflation, opportunity, and the life you are still building.

H - Hedge and Protection
HEDGE / PROTECTION

What protects the progress?

Protection planning considers the risks that could interrupt income, reduce assets, or place financial pressure on the people you love.

T - Transfer of Wealth
TRANSFER OF WEALTH

What happens after you?

Beneficiaries, legacy priorities, estate considerations, and how your wealth may continue serving the people and purposes that matter.

L.I.G.H.T.

Your financial life is connected. Your strategy should be too.

A decision in one area can affect every other part of the plan. That is why Champion starts with the whole picture.
