CASE STUDY
As retirement approached, this family became increasingly concerned about market volatility and wanted a strategy that could provide greater confidence, stability, and retirement income predictability.
After decades of diligent saving, this family had accumulated a substantial portion of their retirement assets inside market-based accounts.
While they remained focused on long-term growth, they became increasingly concerned about how future market downturns could impact retirement income, portfolio withdrawals, and overall financial security.
Their objective was to reduce retirement market risk while maintaining a strategy designed to support long-term retirement goals.
Following a comprehensive review of retirement goals, income needs, and risk tolerance, several planning opportunities emerged.
One area explored involved repositioning a portion of retirement assets into strategies designed to provide protection from market losses while still maintaining growth potential.
The focus was not to eliminate market exposure entirely, but rather to create greater balance between growth, protection, and retirement income stability.
The family created a more balanced retirement allocation designed to help reduce the impact of future market downturns.
By incorporating strategies focused on retirement income planning, they gained greater confidence regarding future retirement cash flow.
Most importantly, the family felt more comfortable entering retirement knowing a portion of their assets had protection characteristics designed to help navigate uncertain market environments.
“For pre-retirees, the closer retirement gets, the more important it is to focus on protecting their retirement income streams; shifting gears from purely growing assets.
The most common question pre-retirees and retirees ask their advisor is “how do I make sure I don’t run out of money in retirement?”
The answer is finding the right balance between growth, preservation, and reliable retirement income.”
