National Retirement Planning
111 Wealth Group, LLC
In a market that never sleeps, “standard” isn’t a strategy—it’s a plateau. Dan Pecoraro founded 111 Wealth Group with a clear philosophy: wealth management requires more than just a spreadsheet; it requires the backbone to navigate volatility with conviction. Dan describes himself as “a fierce risk aversion and income planning champion” because he possesses the sharp, calculated edge necessary to challenge the status quo and hunt for opportunities that makes retirement more predictable and less volatile. By blending a relentless work ethic with a disciplined approach to insurance and tactical asset management, Dan serves as a vigilant advocate for his clients’ futures. He doesn’t just manage wealth; he defends it with the strength of a bull and the precision of a seasoned strategist.
Our Process
The Six Pillars of Your Financial Future
Six Fundamental Financial Planning Considerations
Six key financial planning considerations can impact your financial goals now and in the future. The question is not if these will affect your finances, but to what degree. We evaluate your sentiment toward each consideration and quantify the potential effects on your assets over time. This allows us to build customized strategies to help you achieve your financial objectives for retirement.
Longevity
Outliving financial assets as the result of a longer life.
Inflation
Reduction in real purchasing power as the result of increasing cost of living.
Mortality
Loss of financial assets as the result of a partner’s or spouse’s death.
Liquidity
Limited access to assets to meet life’s unexpected financial needs.
Market
Unexpected reduction in the value of financial assets at the time of withdrawal.
Taxes
Decreasing income and assets and/or the impairment of legacy assets from increasing taxes.
It’s Time To Get On Track
Our Path To Retirement
We follow a five-step process to create your financial plan. The Wonderful Benefit of our five step process is that it applies to any financial decision or concern you have. It helps you make informed decisions about your money based on facts and an experienced team of professionals to help guide you along the way. We take the time to thoroughly explore your needs no matter the stage of life you are in to help provide a custom tailored solution that we continue to monitor and adjust until the end of time.
Retirement Income Planning
Through our retirement planning process, we will review your current income situation and show you your potential income in retirement. We’ll work with you to create a sustainable income that will last for your life. We’ll help you understand your social security options and maximize the benefits for your situation. If you have a pension, we will guide you through the options available and help you make the right choice. We’ll help prepare you for other considerations such as a premature death of a spouse, inflation or taxation.
Inflation Protection
We develop proactive strategies to shield your purchasing power from the rising costs of living. By incorporating growth-oriented assets and cost-of-living adjustments into your financial plan, we ensure your portfolio keeps pace with a changing economy. Our goal is to mitigate “inflation drag,” protecting the real value of your assets so that your standard of living remains stable and secure over the long term.

Wealth Management
We will work with you to understand your risk tolerance while listening to you and understanding what your financial goals are. By being an Investment Advisor Representative that works through an independent Registered Investment Advisor, we are not tied in with a large “wire house” institution, which means we can offer a universe of funds and equities to create cost-efficient and high-quality portfolios. At Zander Financial, we invest your funds in an institutional-style investment strategy.

Tax Planning Strategies
Taxes are one of the single largest expenses we have, yet we spend so little time considering ways we can keep Uncle Sam out of our pockets. At Zander Financial, we take an integrated approach to financial planning, one that includes tax minimization strategies, and we have the right professionals to help. Every financial move you make has tax implications, so having a comprehensive retirement plan with tax-smart investment strategies is vital. Remember, it’s not only what you make but what you keep!

Legacy & Estate Planning
We believe the fastest way to erode away your life’s work is to not have an estate plan in place. An estate plan shelters your assets and provides for your family in the event you are no longer around to provide for them yourself. By working collaboratively with estate planning attorneys, we can help maximize the amount that your loved ones will inherit, help control how the money is to be given, and minimize the taxes that are paid.

Social Security Optimization
We help you navigate the complexities of Social Security to ensure you claim every dollar you are entitled to. By analyzing various filing strategies and timing options, we determine the optimal window to begin benefits based on your health, longevity, and overall financial plan. Our goal is to maximize your lifetime cumulative income, turning a complicated government program into a powerful, predictable foundation for your retirement.

Tax-Free Retirement Income Planning
We design strategies to minimize the tax burden on your retirement distributions, allowing you to keep more of what you’ve earned. By utilizing tax-favored vehicles and strategic asset conversions, we aim to build a tax-free income stream that provides maximum flexibility and longevity. This approach not only enhances your current lifestyle but ensures your hard-earned assets are passed to your loved ones and charities in the most efficient and impactful manner possible.
