Wealth Strategy

Wealth strategy plays an important role in safeguarding your family's wealth, avoiding unnecessary taxes, and ensuring that your legacy will continue. Your PNC Wealth Strategist will work with your attorney, tax advisor or accountant, and PNC Fiduciary Advisor, to design sophisticated, customized plans that can help you achieve a careful balance of control and flexibility, shaping your family's future while responding to its changing needs. We can assist you with:

One of your primary concerns may be accumulating sufficient assets to live a fulfilling and comfortable retirement. And, planning for the non-financial aspects and unknown contingencies that may arise during retirement is also important. Whether you are near retirement, many years away, or living it now, PNC Private Bank can assess your retirement goals, provide objective guidance, monitor and review your progress, and assist with a variety of retirement-related concerns:

• Retirement income solutions
• Social security planning
• IRA and 401(k) rollovers

Applying our extensive experience helping families save adequately to meet education costs, your Wealth Strategist will help you estimate your family members' current and future education costs. We will evaluate tax-efficient savings options and suggest planning, trust, investments and insurance strategies to help make education goals a reality.

Protecting your wealth is as important as growing it. Appropriate insurance coverage is an integral part of any financial plan. As a risk management option, insurance can replace lost income due to disability or death, provide needed funds for estate taxes or help pay for long-term care, or help ensure continuity of business interests. A comprehensive insurance review can:

• Help determine if your family or your business is appropriately covered
• Identify coverage gaps and recommend new coverage where indicated
• Reveal the need for updated beneficiary selections
• Suggest future funding patterns based on longevity and likely performance
• Modify existing coverage for cost effectiveness and maximum Return on Investment

Charitable giving is frequently emphasized as a top priority by our clients. Whether you want to support a specific organization or focus on a community need, PNC Wealth Strategists can help you develop philanthropic goals and strategies to help integrate charitable giving into your overall financial plan. Philanthropic strategies include:

The age-old wealth strategy playbook has been based on the classic assumption that a family is comprised of a husband and wife, the average 2.2 children, and that often-coveted white picket fence. PNC Private Bank understands that today’s modern family takes on various forms. Demographic data suggests that as many as 4 out of 5 families no longer fit the traditional idea of the nuclear family. Each form that a family can take calls for its own unique wealth planning strategies.
