Trusted Wealth Guidance

Federal employees face a unique retirement and benefits structure that requires specialized planning. At Global Advisers, we help government professionals navigate the complexities of CSRS and FERS pensions, TSP strategies, and federal benefits integration to build durable, tax-efficient wealth.

Resources to Support your Career

Retirement planning under CSRS or FERS requires more than estimating your pension. We help you evaluate survivor options, coordinate Social Security, and optimize the timing of withdrawals and benefits.

We also assist with post-retirement income sequencing, ensuring your federal pension works in concert with TSP distributions and outside savings to support your lifestyle.

Federal Pension & Retirement Planning

  • Estimate retirement income from FERS or CSRS benefits alongside other household income
  • Evaluate retirement timing based on age, years of service, pension eligibility, and personal financial goals
  • Model survivor benefit elections and their effect on retirement income
  • Plan for the income period between federal retirement and other retirement benefits

Social Security & Retirement Income

  • Coordinate Social Security claiming decisions with FERS or CSRS pension income
  • Model retirement income from pensions, TSP distributions, Social Security, IRAs, and taxable investments
  • Evaluate the FERS annuity supplement for eligible employees retiring before age 62
  • Develop withdrawal sequencing strategies to support spending needs while managing taxes

Investments & Tax Planning

  • Build and manage investment portfolios outside the TSP around long-term financial goals
  • Coordinate taxable investments, IRAs, TSP assets, and pension income for greater tax efficiency
  • Evaluate Roth conversion opportunities and taxable retirement distributions as circumstances change
  • Incorporate charitable giving, capital gains, and other tax-aware strategies where appropriate

TSP Investment & Distribution Planning

  • Evaluate Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) allocations based on risk tolerance, time horizon, and retirement objectives
  • Coordinate Traditional and Roth TSP contributions with outside retirement and taxable accounts
  • Develop withdrawal strategies for TSP assets during retirement
  • Evaluate whether maintaining assets in the TSP or transferring eligible balances better supports the overall financial plan

Federal Health & Insurance Benefits

  • Incorporate FEHB coverage and expected healthcare costs into retirement planning
  • Review eligibility considerations for continuing FEHB coverage into retirement
  • Evaluate FEGLI coverage alongside individually owned life insurance and family protection needs
  • Coordinate federal benefits with other household insurance and retirement resources

Survivor, Estate & Wealth Transfer Planning

  • Coordinate survivor benefit elections with other income, insurance, and family resources
  • Review TSP and other account beneficiary designations as circumstances change
  • Coordinate federal retirement benefits and investment assets with the broader estate plan
  • Develop charitable giving and wealth-transfer strategies around family and legacy objectives
