Gain peace of mind while building & preserving your legacy
Savvly is now available to accredited investors and qualified purchasers.

Why Savvly
33% of today’s 65-year-olds can expect to live past 90.
66% of people run out of money before they reach 85. Even wealthy investors can outlive their savings if they aren’t prepared.
But less than 5% of portfolios have long life protection.
Savvly can help change that. It’s designed to provide investors with late life payouts when they need them the most.

Savvly helps give the best of both worlds: longevity protection typical of annuities with the upsides of the market.

What type of investor are you?

You earn more than $200k/year (or $300k/year with spouse), have a net worth over $1 million, or are an investment professional.

Case studies
How people have benefited from using Savvly in their investment strategy.
Savvly helped Fred retire early and spend more now
Fred, 57, wants to spend less time working and more time traveling. To hit his target income of $15,000 per month, he’ll need $4.5M*, but he currently has just $3.6M. This means he’ll need to work four more years before he can start living his retirement dreams**.
Fred allocates less than 10% of his portfolio to Savvly and selects a payout age of 85. This lets him retire today, since the lump-sum payout will have him covered later in life. Plus, with his Savvly payout, he would have over $6.4M left at age 85, so he can rest assured he can maintain his lifestyle and won’t expect to outlive his savings. With Savvly, Fred can put in his notice at work today and start planning his first adventure!

Savvly helped Dana leave her daughters a fortune
Dana recently sold her business for $10M, leaving her enough to retire comfortably. However, she wants to make sure she leaves as much as possible to her two daughters, while optimizing his tax efficiency.
Dana puts $300K into the Savvly longevity pool and selects a payout age of 90. Her Savvly investment would have grown to ~$3.8M in 35 years, but with her Savvly multiplier, it ended up being $10.8M!1 Plus, Dana had more than enough in other assets to hold those shares with unrealized gains until she passed away at 96. Those shares (now worth over $16.6M and still untaxed) were left to her children, at which point the tax basis stepped up from $300K to $16.6M.
Savvly helped Victor enhance his lifestyle now
Victor has built up wealth of $20M over his career and is ready to retire at 65 years old. He has a couple of wishlist items that add up to $5M. He wants to make these purchases, but knows he needs to protect his estate, too.
Victor’s adviser showed him that a small $500K investment in Savvly with a payout age of 90 can make this happen. By serving as a counterbalance to longevity and taking advantage of the fact that HNW individuals live longer, Victor could still make all of the purchases and investments he desires, sacrifice nothing, and still leave $12.6M to his children!4
