The Power of Zero

Will Your Current Strategy Hold Up if Tax Rates Increase in the Years Ahead?

The financial landscape is shifting. With national debt at historic levels and the likelihood of rising tax rates in the future, thoughtful retirement planning has never been more important. Planning for tax efficiency today can help you protect more of your income tomorrow.

The Power of Zero approach focuses on helping individuals and families create retirement income strategies designed to reduce tax exposure and offer greater flexibility over time. It’s a method rooted in practical steps, not quick fixes — based on proven strategies that address real risks in an uncertain future.

At Fredericks Wealth Management, we use the Power of Zero framework to help clients assess their current tax exposure and identify opportunities to shift toward more tax-efficient income strategies.

Whether you’re just learning about Roth conversions or already moving assets, we’ll help evaluate your position and outline practical next steps. No pressure, no rush — just a clear understanding of where you are and where you could go.

Let’s check in and see how the Power of Zero may apply to your situation.

Why a Tax-Free Strategy Matters

Tax rates may change, but a strong, tax-conscious financial strategy can help you stay prepared. Without planning, rising taxes could impact your retirement savings, reduce your available income, and limit what you pass on to future generations.

Through the Power of Zero framework, you can:

  • Reposition savings into tax-advantaged accounts like Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s

  • Explore the strategic use of life insurance as a tax-free income tool

  • Balance taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free assets for added flexibility

  • Build a more resilient plan to navigate changing tax laws
