Welcome to the
Retirement Finance Institute

We are an affiliate of The Sisu Advantage, a nonprofit education organization that provides data-informed insights and strategies for addressing various issues facing individuals, families, organizations, or societies.

Financing a retirement is one such issue.  It was a lurking issue for many before the pandemic, and now most families have more reasons to worry about it.

The Retirement Finance Institute was created to help you develop that skillset, and to guide you in applying these skills to achieve your retirement goals.  Finance textbooks focus on accumulating wealth, yet retirement is as much about strategic decumulation of wealth in the face of the ultimate uncertainty, longevity -- how long funding must last for you and your loved ones.

We have the interest, knowledge and expertise to help you along the way.
