Retirement Planning & Insurance for Cortez Residents
Cortez is one of the last working fishing villages in Florida — a tight-knit community just east of the bridge to Anna Maria Island. Most of the folks we meet here are long-time Floridians, multi-generational families, and a growing number of retirees who wanted somewhere quieter than the beach but still close to the water.
Advanced Capital Management has served Manatee County since 1986. We help Cortez-area residents with annuities, 401(k) and IRA rollovers, life insurance, and retirement income planning. We meet in person when it's helpful, and over phone or Zoom when it's not.
If you live in or near Cortez and want a no-pressure second opinion on your retirement, call (727) 542-7659 for a free 20-minute benefits review.

Learn MoreWhy Cortez Residents Trust ACM
A lot of Cortez families have small business or fishing-industry income — that often means self-directed IRAs, SEP-IRAs, or solo 401(k)s that haven't been reviewed in years. We help business-owner retirees roll those balances into annuities or IRAs that produce guaranteed income.
Property values in Cortez and surrounding Manatee County have climbed sharply over the past decade. For long-time owners that's a real legacy planning opportunity — we coordinate with estate attorneys to use trusts, IUL, and beneficiary planning to keep that wealth in the family.
Cortez residents also tend to be very price-conscious about fees and surrender charges — they want to know exactly what they're paying and what they're getting. We lay out every cost in writing before any recommendation.
Common Retirement Questions from Cortez Clients
"I sold my boat / my business — now what?"
A lump sum from a business sale or major asset sale needs careful tax and income planning. We help structure the proceeds across MYGAs, fixed index annuities, and Roth conversions to balance income, taxes, and growth.
"My old advisor put me in something I don't understand"
Variable annuities and complex products often come with high fees and confusing riders. We do a free contract review and translate exactly what you own, what it costs, and whether better options exist.
"I want guaranteed income but not lose access to my money"
MYGAs (multi-year guaranteed annuities) and fixed index annuities with income riders both offer guaranteed elements while preserving principal access. We compare them side by side for your situation.
"I want to take care of my grandkids when I'm gone"
IUL policies, properly titled annuities with stretch provisions, and beneficiary IRAs can transfer wealth efficiently and tax-favorably to the next generation.
