Designing a Retirement Income Plan

Investing in Your Future

Whether you're planning for retirement or another specific financial goal, it's essential that your assets be invested as wisely and effectively as possible.

Beyond our helpful cover story on retirement income planning, this issue explores various ways that your Regions can guide you no matter what stage of life you're in. In NextGen (“Building Your Wealth,” page 7) we provide tips for how adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s can create an investment strategy geared to long-term growth. In Legacy (“After the Break,” page 16), we explain how people going through a divorce can manage the financial aspects of it. And in Your Business (“Borrow Right,” page 14), Joe DiNicolantonio, head of Regions Business Banking, looks at the various considerations and options business owners have when getting a loan.

We wrap up this issue with a fascinating Spotlight interview with Harold Sirkin, managing director and senior partner at The Boston Consulting Group (“Made in the U.S.A.,” page 18). Sirkin offers his thought-provoking perspective on the growth potential for U.S. manufacturing and what it means for U.S. business leaders and entrepreneurs.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition of Insights and find it both interesting and informative.
