Little Known RMD Strategy Allowed by the IRS
For investors with $1M+ in retirement accounts, the tax code allows specific strategies that can reduce your tax exposure once RMDs begin—but only if used before then.
The window is open for anyone within ten years of 73. A fiduciary advisor can review which may apply, at no cost.
Chesterfield Named a Top Missouri Retirement Destination
Chesterfield is earning national attention as an attractive place to retire. A recent Islands feature highlighted the city as Missouri’s only community to appear on GOBankingRates’ list of the 50 best retirement towns for the upper middle class.
The article points to Chesterfield’s combination of parks, recreation, community activities, public art, golf, and access to destinations such as the Monarch Levee Trail, Central Park, River’s Edge Park, Faust Park, and the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House.
Chesterfield’s continued growth also received attention, including redevelopment of the former Chesterfield Mall site into a mix of residential, commercial, and green space.
With plenty of opportunities to stay active, connect with the community, and enjoy the outdoors, Chesterfield continues to stand out as a desirable place to call home.

The American Red Cross of Missouri is asking eligible donors to give blood as it works to overcome an emergency blood shortage and help ensure patient care is not disrupted.
Blood donations are critical for emergency rooms, maternity care, cancer treatment, surgeries, and other lifesaving medical needs.
Those who are able to donate are encouraged to schedule an appointment and help support patients and families across the community.
