New Covisum® White Paper Suggests that the Concept of the Retirement Nest Egg is Dead


Cover of The Extinction of the Nest Egg white paper

Cover of The Extinction of the Nest Egg white paper

Retirement planning is less about helping clients save and manage a single nest egg and more about helping them crack the right egg at the right time.

While historically, a sum of money saved for the future was described as a “nest egg,” the concept doesn’t accurately reflect retirement for a good portion of the U.S. population. For many, there are multiple options for saving for retirement: 401(k)s, 403(b)s, IRAs, fixed annuities, certificates of deposit and more. In addition, many working Americans receive some retirement income from Social Security or pensions.

“Retirement planning is less about helping clients save and manage a single nest egg and more about helping them crack the right egg at the right time,” said Joe Elsasser, CFP®, Founder and President of Covisum, the tech company that provides Social Security Timing®, Tax Clarity®, SmartRisk™, and Income InSight®.

In a new Covisum white paper, “The Extinction of the Nest Egg: How Successful Advisors Are Adopting a Carton Approach,” Elsasser explains how the current tax system, Social Security rules and other factors interact. The white paper reveals how advisors can identify and address the issues created by these interactions and how to deliver smart, sophisticated retirement income strategies that pull from many income streams, not just one.

“Many Americans believe that they have their retirement strategy figured out or that it’s as simple as getting their Social Security check and making 401(k) withdrawals. For some, it may be that simple, but it’s also likely that there are number factors they haven’t considered. For example, are they considering how much of their money is spendable versus how much is needed to pay taxes?” said Elsasser. “Unaware of the complex interactions between retirement income streams, they may not think they need a financial advisor, and they remain unaware of how additional help can deliver better outcomes.”

The latest financial technology can now integrate retirement considerations in a process that is easy for both the advisor and the client to understand. Graphs and charts can visually demonstrate that retirement decisions should not be made in a vacuum and show how the different decisions interact. With the right tools, advisors can even test the strategy against unexpected stress events like a down-market or an early death.

“Developed by thought leaders who understand the intricacies and interrelated nature of retirement considerations, technology can now integrate retirement considerations in a process that is simple for both the financial advisor and the client to understand,” Elsasser said. “Advisors can show how one decision can interact with a seemingly unrelated decision to either cost or save the retiree money, and they can show in dollars how much they can either earn or save clients.”

A good advisor with the right technology can be incredibly valuable to retirees by preventing unnecessary headaches caused by an unforeseen tax jump or a less-than-optimal Social Security claiming decision. Retirees can save thousands of dollars that otherwise would have gone to taxes by working with an advisor who adopts a carton approach to financial planning.

About Covisum

Covisum® is a financial tech company that finds significant gaps in financial understanding and builds software solutions to help advisors and financial institutions grow and improve lives through better retirement decisions. With our proven process, advisors are able to streamline their practices, offer actionable insights and utilize successful marketing tactics.

Moscow-City Skyscrapers Streamline Parking Access and Control with Secure RFID


Moscow-City

Moscow-City

The system’s two-step authentication means that only authorized equipment can handle the secure protocol and the data exchange with the UCODE DNA based tag. Without the required cryptographic secrets, other readers would query the tag in vain

FEIG ELECTRONIC, a leading global supplier of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and antennas with fifty years of industry experience, announces the deployment of the UCODE DNA RFID security and parking contactless identification solution in the Moscow International Business Center, known as Moscow-City, one of the world’s largest business district projects.

The management of Moscow-City not only selected long-range, passive UHF RFID to implement in its controlled parking areas, it also chose to implement UCODE DNA, the highest form of secure RAIN RFID technology, developed by NXP Semiconductors.    

“Underscoring NXP’s innovation and leadership in developing advanced RAIN RFID technologies, our UCODE DNA was chosen to be incorporated with the FEIG and ISBC implementation of the contactless identification system in the prestigious Moscow-City,” said Mahdi Mekic, marketing director for RAIN RFID with NXP Semiconductors. “This exciting project represents yet another successful deployment of NXP’s contactless portfolio, and showcases our continued ability to meet the high-security requirements of highly demanding applications without compromising user convenience.”

“UCODE DNA is considered the only identification technology to match the physical protection of a barrier with the cybersecurity necessary to truly protect entrances from unauthorized access,” said Manuel Haertlé, senior product manager for FEIG Electronic. “As a respected contactless payment technology company, FEIG applies security know-how from its payment terminals, which are fully certified according to the latest high-class security standards, into our RFID systems. FEIG vehicle access control RFID readers incorporate advanced secure key storage elements, supporting various methods for secure key injection.”

FEIG’s partner ISBC Group provided the knowledge and support for this successful implementation using FEIG’s long-range UHF RFID. The resulting system enables authorized vehicle entry into areas reserved for private residential use or corporate tenants, while also allowing the availability of temporary, fee-based visitor parking. Thanks to the cryptographic authentication of UCODE DNA, both the tag and reader must go through an authentication procedure before the reader will validate the data from the tag, which is transmitted wirelessly. This level of authentication is typically used in the most secure data communication networks.

“The system’s two-step authentication means that only authorized equipment can handle the secure protocol and the data exchange with the UCODE DNA based tag. Without the required cryptographic secrets, other readers would query the tag in vain, because the tag’s response cannot be interpreted or understood,” said Andrey Krasovskiy, director of the RFID department at ISBC Group. “On top of this, each data exchange in the authentication process is unique, so even if a malicious actor were to intercept the communication, the transmission is only good for a single exchange and the tag’s unique identity is protected from cloning.”

Established in 1992 and still growing, Moscow-City is the revitalization and transformation of an industrial riverfront into a new, modern, vibrant and upscale business and residential district. A mix of residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment facilities, it is located about four kilometers west of Red Square along the Moscow River. Twelve of the twenty-three planned facilities have already been completed, with seven currently under construction. Six skyscrapers in Moscow-City reach a height of at least 300 meters, including Europe’s tallest building, Federation Tower, which rises more than 100 stories.

Partnering with ISBC and deploying FEIG Electronic RFID solutions, the Moscow International Business Center is delivering security and access control to its city center today, as it grows into the city of tomorrow.

About FEIG ELECTRONIC

FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH, a leading global supplier of RFID readers and antennas is one of the few suppliers worldwide offering RFID readers and antennas for all standard operating frequencies: LF (125 kHz), HF (13.56 MHz), UHF (860-960 MHz).

Anitian, a DevSecOps company offering a cloud security compliance platform, today announced that it has successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit for their Compliance Automation SecOps and Managed Detection and Response services. Conducted by Frank, Rimmerman Co. LLP, a leading CPA firm, the audit affirms that Anitian’s information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security, availability, and confidentiality.
