Abstract

Outlines some research on the effects of risk on portfolios for retirement planning and puts forward a method to help individuals “increase their chances of not outliving their retirement portfolios”. Uses numerical examples to show how calculations of the savings needed to achieve specific retirement incomes may prove inaccurate, and how regular portfolio assessment can be used to make any necessary adjustments during the accumulation and/or the retirement stage.
