Find out why any amount of loss might become a permanent loss in a distribution portfolio, why efficient frontier, asset allocation, asset dedication, diversification, the concept of "long-term", Monte Carlo don't and can't work in a distribution portfolio as you might want to believe.

Find out why the luck factor is the most important determinant of a distribution portfolio's success and how come the investor makes money only in 2.5% of the time, only during non-Gaussian market events.

Longevity risk
www.retirementsolutionscentre.ca/en/opportunity/longevity.html
Compared to previous generations, both male and female Canadians can expect to live longer, healthier lives. However, a longer life expectancy means extending the timeframe of retirement. Investors must plan for retirement income to last well into their 90s, otherwise they risk outliving their savings. |

Sequence of Return Risk
www.retirementsolutionscentre.ca/en/Retirement_Challenges/volatility.html
During retirement, the interplay between an investor's rate of withdrawal and the order or sequence that they receive their market returns can have a dramatic impact on their portfolio's ability to last.

Retirement Preferences
www.retirementsolutionscentre.ca/en/opportunity/retirement-preferences.html
Your personal preferences with respect to liquidity, wealth transfer and most importantly your preference with respect to simplicity all are important. Within the realm of retirement planning, an investor's behavioral responses to market conditions, for example, moving in and out of the market, can greatly impact the success of a plan. In addition, a retiree may not wish to be actively involved in the market and may seek products that require less maintenance. |
