My name is Benjamin Borden. I specialize in helping my clients financially prepare for retirement with the proper use of annuities. I help clients all over the country find ways to generate more retirement income and see how to securely protect their money during these turbulent times.

Despite the current volatility in the market, there are still strategies that you can put in place right now to ensure that you do not run out of income and keep your money securely protected from future market downturns.

While most financial advisors are more than happy to provide you with investment tips and growth opportunities for your portfolio, few financial professionals know how to convert your savings into a long-term sustainable income (and protect your money) so that you can spend with confidence when you retire.

I bring over 30 years of experience within the financial planning arena with me. I started out at New England securities in Boston, MA, and from there I worked at various New York Stock Exchange Brokerage firms throughout the East Coast. Through this experience, I have navigated the stock market highs of the internet boom in the late 1990s, the subsequent “dot com crash” in 2002, the Financial Crisis of 2008, and the current economic downturn. I am well-tuned and well-trained for the needs of protecting and growing a client’s assets during retirement through any market climate.

Retirement income planning is a very specialized area and often can require a completely different advisor than a retiree may have had for many years. Most financial advisors can help accumulate wealth, that’s easy, but when it comes to distributing that wealth and all that entails, over not just one’s life but quite possibly two lives, it’s a whole different matter.

I reside in Beaufort, SC with my wife Kimberly and my 3 fur babies: a Chocolate Lab named Sam, a Golden Retriever named Franklin and our newest baby, a Mini Golden Doodle named Winston. Living on Habersham creek and the Broad River, we love piling the crew in our golf cart and driving around the neighborhood looking for all our special friends…. alligators, roseate spoonbills, brown pelicans, and occasionally we catch a glimpse of dolphins and manatees in the creek.

While I am currently living in South Carolina, through our advanced technology systems, it is possible for me to meet “face-to-face” virtually online with my clients, as well as share computer screens so that we are all on the same page. I can show you firsthand how various income strategies may work for you and your specific goals.

I do my best to take the mystery out of annuities by answering some of the most asked questions in a simple, personalized way. All my meetings are conducted over the phone and virtually, which means you do not need to leave your home or have to visit me in my office.

Feel free to reach out to me when you are looking for retirement planning guidance and annuity recommendations. I will be glad to help you reach your retirement goals.

Sincerely, Benjamin Borden
