Income Planning focuses on converting human capital and real assets to income at your specific life cycle stage, (young, middle age or older). Minimizing taxes and maximizing cash flow are important objectives in income planning.

At kANU, we incorporate our “Efficient Income Frontier”, to generate maximum income that is free of, or minimally subject to Federal, State, Capital Gains and Provisional Income Taxes. This involves the optimal allocation of assets into the proper income classes to minimize the effect of taxes while generating maximum cash flow to meet our client’s objectives.

At kANU Asset Management we work with clients to protect their assets. Estate planning is not just for those who are retired but instead should be an integral part of your financial plan. Estate planning includes:

• Creating a will
• Limiting estate taxes by setting up trust accounts in the name of beneficiaries
• Establishing a guardian for living dependents
• Naming an executor of the estate to oversee the terms of the will
• Creating/updating beneficiaries on plans such as life insurance, IRAs and 401(k)s
• Setting up funeral arrangements
• Establishing annual gifting to reduce the taxable estate
• Setting up a durable power of attorney (POA) to direct other assets and investments

kANU's goal driven process will cover all aspects of what is important to you as well as helping you discover all the ways to maximize tax efficiency and the complete effectiveness of passing on your estate to your heirs as you wish.

At kANU, significance begins with the impact our professionals have on our client’s lives. We connect with our clients on a deeper level to significantly improve their lives. Our goal is to eliminate money as an issue in their life, enabling them to pursue a life of significance, making an impact and leaving a meaningful legacy.
