Retired / Soon-To-Be Retired
What happens when the paycheck stops? This is the question that becomes top of mind as we approach retirement. The markets are very forgiving in the accumulation phase of life as market downturns happen at a time when excess cash flow is being averaged in at lower prices. Once the shift to the withdrawal phase is on the horizon, preparing for major market downturns (referred to as sequence of return risk) cannot be overemphasized.
These are some of the questions that we help those in this stage of life answer:
- Is the portfolio structured to withstand a large drawdown in the global stock market?
- When should I start Social Security?
- Should I take a lump-sum or annuity for my pension? If an annuity, what survivorship option makes sense?
- Should Roth conversions be considered prior to taking Social Security and required minimum distributions? If so, how much?
- What is the best Medicare supplemental policy for my situation?
- Which assets / account should be drawn down for spending?
