Go deeper into Sequence of Returns with our new StepUp series
Peter Wouters has developed a special series of StepUp Newletters to accompany his recent TRIIPSS webinar “Sequence of Returns Risk and Retirement Income Strategies”. In the opening segment, “The Risk of Longevity”, he will review some of the top investor concerns as they approach retirement and some key risks that impact how long savings and income streams may last. In part 2, “Rate of Return and Impact on Accumulation vs. Withdrawal Periods”, he looks at how the order of rates of return may lead to disorder in terms of how long money and income may last during the retirement years. In part 3, “When did you get on the rate of return cycle?”, he answers that important question: Does it matter when the pattern of return starts and someone is drawing an income? | ||||
