The Income for Life Model® is an integrated system that financial consultants use to market, illustrate and monitor outcome-focused retirement income strategies while enhancing advisor-to-client communications. Investment Services at Sovereign/Santander's custom version of The Income for Life Model®, developed by Wealth2k, Inc., a leading provider of outcome-focused, retirement income platform, provides a formal and personal income strategy for each investor. The strategy serves as a "roadmap" that helps investors stay on track with their income goals.
