This class teaches about the key determinants in retirement portfolio success and failure.
 
How money is withdrawn is the most important factor in portfolio survival, while asset allocation policy often is not as important a factor as you might think.
 
The impact of required minimum distributions on portfolio survival, another key determinant in retirement portfolio success, is analyzed in depth.
 
After attending this class, you'll be able to answer these crucial questions: 
 
• If portfolio returns in the future are lower than they’ve been historically, how will it impact retirees?
• What is the impact on retirement income of changing from a 20% equity allocation to a 50% equity allocation to an 80% equity allocation?
• How often will RMDs wipe out a retirement portfolio?
• What is the impact on annual income in retirement if I reduce my retirement portfolio expenses from 150 bps to 100 bps?
• What would a 60/40 retirement portfolio have performed like if historical bond returns were 50% lower?
• What would a 60/40 retirement portfolio have performed like if historical stock returns were 50% lower?
• Can withdrawals from a retirement portfolio actually keep up with inflation?
 
You'll also learn about:
  • the importance of including diverse asset classes in portfolio construction
  • how to manage a broad group of asset classes in a low-expense portfolio using multiple ETFs or funds
  • how to illustrate key portfolio management concepts to clients
  • return and risk statistics of a core portfolio invested for the long run

  • Institutional Investment Plan Trustees

Thank you Craig for another good overview of the 60-40 portfolio as it relates to the 4% withdrawal rate and the use of RMD as an alternate methodology for retirement withdrawals. I appreciate the fact that you continue to tie the research together with the spreadsheet as it's useful to discuss with skeptical clients who worry about future returns. Thank you.

Very practical application for real-life client use. It would be helpful to see scenarios with more asset classes like international stocks, but I realize that would shorten the starting point significantly to the 1970's.
