A fulfilling retirement doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of intentional planning. Whether you're five years out or already retired, having a clear financial roadmap can provide the freedom and confidence to enjoy the next chapter of life. At Axon Capital Management, we take a comprehensive approach to retirement planning that considers your lifestyle goals, income needs, healthcare costs, and tax strategy.
Income & Cash Flow Projections: Understand how much you’ll need to retire comfortably and where your income will come from.
Investment Allocation for Retirement: Align your portfolio with your timeline and risk tolerance to support a lasting, inflation-adjusted income.
Social Security & Pension Optimization: Navigate the best time to claim benefits and how to integrate them into your retirement income strategy.
Withdrawal & Tax Strategy: Coordinate withdrawals across accounts (401(k), IRA, brokerage) to minimize taxes and maximize income.
Retirement planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we don’t treat it that way. We tailor each plan to your personal situation and priorities. Let’s build a future that works on your terms.

Comprehensive financial planning brings together your income, investments, equity compensation, taxes, and long-term goals into a single, coordinated strategy. We help clients make better decisions today while keeping future tradeoffs, risks, and opportunities in view.
Investment management is about building and maintaining portfolios that align with your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance—not chasing market trends. We focus on disciplined portfolio construction, diversification, and ongoing oversight to support long-term outcomes.
Retirement planning goes beyond saving enough—it’s about creating a sustainable income strategy you can rely on. We help clients plan the transition from earning a paycheck to drawing from investments, while managing risk, taxes, and flexibility over time.
Tax planning looks ahead, not just backward. We coordinate investment decisions, equity compensation, and income strategies to reduce unnecessary taxes over time and help clients avoid surprises as their financial picture becomes more complex.
