The TRIAD process is an investment approach we use at Tremblay Financial Services that diversifies your investment portfolio into three categories: safe, income, and growth.

· Safe investments are low-risk and focused on protection of principal with upside market potential.

· Income investments are assets that regularly distribute income into your portfolio.

· Growth refers to “reinvested income” from assets used to generate growth.

Essential fall strategies could include maximizing your retirement and HSA contributions, planning charitable gifts, tax-loss harvesting, and evaluating Roth conversions or business expenses. And of course, RMDs (required minimum distributions) must be taken from taxable retirement accounts by December 31 for those 73 or older.
