'Slash Your Retirement Risk: How to Make Your Money Last with a Simple, Safe, and Secure Investment Plan'

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ Chris Cook, president and founder of Dayton-Ohio based Beacon Capital Management, Inc., an SEC registered investment advisor with more than $2.5 billion under management, has released his first book "Slash Your Retirement Risk: How to Make Your Money Last with a Simple, Safe, and Secure Investment Plan."

The book, published by Career Press, is now available for purchase at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and other retailers.

"For generations of American investors, buy-and-hold strategies used to be the norm. It was simple, investors put their money in blue chip stocks or other growth equities then watched their assets continue to grow," stated Cook. "This traditional investment strategy no longer works and fails today's investors on multiple levels. My goal in writing this book is to guide readers through a step-by-step process to help them reach their financial goals and achieve the 'New ROI'reliability of income."

"Slash Your Retirement Risk: How to Make Your Money Last with a Simple, Safe, and Secure Investment Plan" outlines a new way of thinking focused on total returns accounting for interest rates, dividends, distributions, capital gains, taxes and fees. And, rather than the typical approach to portfolio management focusing solely on returns and ignoring dramatic market downswings that can decimate portfoliosCook shows investors how to grab gains as equities grow, but also provide a softer landing, by building in protections for the market's inevitable downturns.

The running theme throughout the book is a question on the minds of those saving for retirement: how do I save enough money so that I never run out of it during my lifetime? That is the primary question Cook works to answer and offers insight and strategies to all kinds of investors; whether you work with a financial advisor or you prefer a DIY approach, the book provides the tools needed to build the nest egg needed to live a safe, secure retirement.

This book shows how your retirement portfolio can capitalize on opportunities for growth while weathering the inevitable economic ups and down. Through this strategy you can achieve reliable returns and suffer fewer sleepless nights worrying about whether your money will last as long as you do," added Cook.
