The Four Approaches to Managing Retirement Income Risk | BREAKOUT
Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA, RICP | Professor, The American College for Financial Services
Sequence-of-returns risk amplifies the impacts of investment volatility when taking distributions from a volatile investment portfolio in retirement. There are four techniques for managing this sequence risk: reduce the spending rate, adjust spending to portfolio performance, reduce portfolio volatility in the early retirement years, and draw from a buffer asset outside the portfolio to support spending when the portfolio is underperforming. I provide examples for how each of these risk management techniques can be implemented in practice to create the potential for greater retirement efficiency in terms of supporting the retirement financial goals with the available asset base. Practical implementations to managing sequence risk we consider include delaying Social Security, using annuities with lifetime spending protections, employing a rising equity glidepath in retirement, using a time segmentation or bucketing strategy, or creating a “buffer asset” with a reverse mortgage or whole life insurance.
Up until now, there has been cursory discussion on the topic of behavior and investors. This presentation will cover several common influencers of investor behavior. Attendees will learn how emotions and cognitive shortcuts encourage investors to act contrary to their long-term goals. Several “coaching” concepts will be taught, and attendees will learn what they can do to help their clients make more thoughtful, deliberate decisions despite the urges to do the contrary.
