Savvly exists because living a long life should be a reward, not a punishment.

This is our why.
Talk to our team

When it comes to growing wealth and securing their retirement, millions of Americans fear that they won't have enough.

They are correct. There is no solution to this problem.
Until now.

We created a first-of-its-kind financial technology that gives:

Consumers
A financial confidence in their future that frees them up to spend more now.
Employers
A way to retain their best, reward the faithful, and make room for young new stars.
Financial Advisors
A way to retain clients, and magnify their relevance.

To do this, Savvly has invented the opposite of life insurance: a security you own that pays you for living a long life, not for dying.

We feel certain this will give Americans the financial confidence to spend more now and retire earlier, without running out of money.

These are our rules

Human Outcomes, even over Financial Efficiency

We will spend more per customer than a purely optimized system would. We will prioritize peace of mind over margin. Because we're not optimizing for efficiency; we're optimizing so our clients sleep better.

Integrity, even over Innovation

We will kill a clever feature if it creates confusion. We will not use behavioral tricks to boost conversion. If innovation compromises trust, innovation loses.

Transparency, even over Comfort

We will tell you things you don't want to hear. We will show you the math even when it's ugly. We will not hide behind jargon or optimism. You deserve the truth, always.

Long-term Thinking, even over Short-term Optics

We will make decisions that look shaky in the next quarter, but right in the next decade. We will not optimize for press releases. We're building for the long haul.

These are our founders

The problem they saw...

When Dario Fusato and Tony Derossi arrived in the U.S. from Italy, they noticed a disturbing paradox. They saw a great nation of people who did everything right—they worked hard, they saved diligently, and they followed the rules.

But the rules had changed.

They realized that the American financial system was built on a 20th-century assumption: that you retire at 65 and pass away by 75. But in a world where living to 95 is becoming the norm, the "safe" path had become a trap. The reward for a healthy life was the risk of poverty in your final decades.

How they built the solution

Many fintech startups try to move fast and break things. When dealing with people's life savings, that is dangerous. So, they chose the hard road.

They didn't try to bypass the regulators; They sat down with them. They spent years in the trenches with the SEC and financial leaders to architect a completely new asset class.

It wasn't the fastest way to build a company. But it was the only way to build a solution that can be safe enough for your future.

Why they built Savvly

Dario and Tony are here to close the gap between your life expectancy and your bank account. They aren't out to replace your 401(k); they are here to finish the job it started.They are here to reward you for living a long life.

These are our collaborators and partners

Most of the industry treats longevity as a niche statistic. We treat it as an emergency. We partner exclusively with the innovators who are brave enough to admit that the old retirement models are broken. We are here to rewrite the math for the 100-year life.

These are some of our
most asked questions

Why do I need this?
The math of retirement is broken. Standard 401(k)s are designed to last until you are 85. But you are statistically likely to live past 90. Savvly is protection against living too long. We provide the paycheck for the decades your 401(k) wasn't built to cover.
Does Savvly replace my 401(k)?
No. Keep your 401(k); it’s great for your 60s and 70s. Savvly is designed exclusively for your 80s, 90s, and beyond. Think of us as the 'Late-Stage Booster' for your existing portfolio.
Is this legal and safe?
We didn't take shortcuts. We spent years working directly with the SEC to build a compliant, transparent framework. In a world of financial 'hacks' and crypto crazes, we chose the hard path of regulation because your longevity is too important to gamble with.
Is this just for rich people?
It used to be. Historically, 'longevity hedging' was a luxury product for the ultra-wealthy. We believe that is wrong. We built Savvly to be employer-funded so that financial dignity in old age is a standard benefit, not a luxury good.
