Use a retirement planner to align current investing with future goals

Use a retirement planner to align current investing with future goals

How do you think about investment risk?

Do you think more about how risky your current portfolio is or more about, the risk associated with long-term investment goals, such as not having enough money in retirement? Portfolio risk is important, but depending on how much wealth you have and where you are in your life, it’s very possible that increasing your risk today could increase the chance of achieving a future goal. Why? When you increase your investment risk, assuming efficient investing, you also increase your expected return. Growing your wealth at a higher return rate, probabilistically, allows you to generate more wealth, and perhaps reduces risks associated with future goals. I’m not forwarding a simple-minded approach of increasing risk today; I’m proposing that you consider the risk associated with achieving your long-term goals in addition to monitoring your current portfolio risk and align the two. I’ll discuss how you can do this.

Canned investment products don’t provide a complete answer

Much of the investment industry now forwards Target Date funds as a simple approach to setting how much risk you should take today and how you should shift your portfolio risk over time. You choose a fund dependent on how far you are from retirement, and the fund adjusts the risk profile automatically over time to what is appropriate for an average investor that is the same number of years from retirement as you. This is a very average solution, as there are more variables in play than just your age or how far you are from retirement. Your Income, current wealth, risk tolerance, whether you have a pension, and a variety of other considerations are all necessary inputs to achieve the best portfolio to meet your long-term goals.

Consider investing in a retirement planning model

Retirement planning models can help you align your current portfolio with your long-term goals. They use the necessary information to get you in the right portfolio today, and provide a plan for altering the risk composition of your portfolio over time. A good retirement planner, in addition to projecting your finances into the future, will show you the chance of meeting your goals, or mitigating undesirable circumstances, such as running out of money. They do this by using Monte Carlo simulation, which projects you plan in good markets and in bad ones. Until you’re able to calculate the risk of achieving future wealth goals it’s not recommended to determine how much risk you should be taking today. A retirement planner can help you figure this out.

Custom fit your investment solution to your unique circumstances

Like trousers, one size doesn’t fit all. Think about the effect on your career if you wore trousers that were 3 inches too short to work twice a week. Unfortunately, without the right tools, a poor or even a mediocre investment plan isn’t as noticeable as trousers that fit poorly, but costly nonetheless. If you’re able to use a retirement planner it’s well worth the investment to align your current portfolio with your long-term goals; if you’re not, source the help of a financial adviser.

How Long Will My Pension Last?

How Long Will My Pension Last?

Anyone retiring, or being retired, will initially worry about what their retirement income will be. Generally people require more income at the outset as most people spend more money earlier in their retirement and less money later in their retirement. This of course could be different if you required care later in life.

On the basis though that most people are still very busy in retirement. When people are busy it usually means that they are also needing to spend money on one thing or another. It could be that you need your pension lump sum to pay down a mortgage or loan or you may even need the income to continue to fund the mortgage.

One option is to think about how you draw down your pension income it may be that you want to buy an annuity all at once. It maybe that you do not need all the income from day one, if for example you are reducing your hours at work.

Phasing your retirement can be a good option to make your pension income last longer. You need to think about the amount of income that you need to pay off any debts and the income that you are likely to need in the early years of retirement. Once you have had an opportunity to think about this (and the best way is always to write down on a list what your bills will be) then it makes sense to talk to somebody about what income you could expect to get from your pension fund.

Improper Investing by Pension Funds and Investment Advisory Firms Using Unprotected Investment Strategies is Costing Trillions

Skyline Logo

Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 20, 2010

Skyline Capital Managements’ patent pending method of money management designed to preserve and protect principal, supported by 10 years of back-tested data, is now available to Registered Investment Advisors and Public & Private Pension funds and institutions.

According to BNY Mellon Asset Management, “The funded ratio of the typical corporate U.S. pension plan fell 6 percentage points in June 2010 to 74%, the result of U.S. stock market declines and low interest rates.” The average corporate pension fund is under-funded by 26%, which is dramatic.

“According to the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, pension plans for public school teachers, which comprise about half of states’ total pension liabilities, were underfunded by $ 933 billion dollars in fiscal year 2008, almost three times the amount that the plans had reported,” as reported by Fortune Magazine on June 18,2010.

According to the American Enterprise Institute, “States report that their public-employee pensions are underfunded by a total of $ 438 billion, but a more accurate accounting demonstrates that they are actually underfunded by over $ 3 trillion. The accounting methods that states currently use to measure their liabilities assume plans can earn high investment without risk. Should plan assets fall short, as is likely, taxpayers are required to make up the difference.”

Pension funds are not taking appropriate steps to mitigate market risk using outdated methodologies such as asset allocation, sector rebalancing and non-hedging techniques. This lack of risk mitigation has cost institutions and both public and corporate pension funds Trillions in unfunded liabilities.

“Schwab found that, on average, financial advisory firms generated $ 6,900 per client in 2009. That’s a sizable drop from the $ 7,800 per client the firms generated in 2008. What’s more, the median operating income earned by an registered investment adviser fell from 15% of revenue in 2008 to barely 10% in 2009,” as reported by InvestmentNews.

This indicates market risk and losses have played a key role in Registered Investment Advisory firms realizing lower profits and revenues due to reductions of assets mainly from market losses.

In all the examples of revenue reduction and liability increases from market losses, could have been significantly reduced and avoided by using the VanderPal Method™ or Principal Protected Index™ program through Skyline Capital Management®.

The proprietary VanderPal Method™ and Principal Protected Index™ program allows for clients to receive capital gains in upward or downward moving markets or indices while 95% – 100% of the principal is invested into FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit or US government backed short-term notes. Earnings are reinvested back into principal to lock in previous returns on a continual basis, also referred to as the “Ratchet Effect.”

The significance of the VanderPal Method™ and Principal Protected Index™ program is the advantages over other principal protected programs such as structured notes/products, index certificates of deposit and index annuities. Many of these programs described earlier have substantial penalties, market risk if not held to maturity, lack of investing options, tax issues and no periodic and continual locking in of gains.

VanderPal Method™ and Principal Protected Index™ program provides:

    No surrender penalties
    Fully liquid
    Long-term capital gains tax on majority earnings
    Can participate in the gains-linked to various equity indices and thousands of stocks
    Continually locking in returns creating a Ratchet Effect that periodically locks your gains into principal
    95% – 100% of principal invested and backed though FDIC insured bank CDs and Government bills or notes.

“The VanderPal Method™ and Principal Protected Index™ program can remove the segment of market risk drowning pension funds into large liabilities and assist Registered Investment Advisors with maintaining more stable asset levels through less negative market volatility and angry clients,” says Dr. VanderPal.

Personal Finance Budget Planner

Personal Finance Budget Planner

how many times you ask yourself where all my money gone? you know no matter how much money you earn you might find yourself in debts. and this due to spending without control. some people have a filling that they have unlimited supply of money in the bank just passing the credit card and you can buy everything you like. but one day you came to a point where you understand that something has to be done with your budget planning.

i have seen all kind of personal budget planners. i thought maybe the budget planner will somehow give me more money in the pocket. well i guess not. The bottom line is, a paper personal budget planner will work as well as a fancy computerized one. It isn’t about how the personal budget planner looks, its about using it. And for most people, it is something we don’t really like to do either with personal budget planner or without it.

so it seems like i must live according to my budget. and if i know my budget, i can tell what i need to change in my money spending. a personal budget planner can track my immediate monetary sources and can help me achieve my financial goals.

For me, the problem wasn’t the personal budget planner that I used. it has no problems with it. i thought that my problem used to be that I simply did not use the personal budget planner enough. years ago I was making a lot of money working full time job I was living above my means. But my means were so great that, use of my personal budget planner was not really necessary. but as now i retired and receive only pension allowance. i know that my problem was not that I wasn’t making good use of my personal budget planner.

I felt like I was broke, and always some bill or other payments hanging over me and disturbing my sleep, and I was in some kind of deep trouble. It took me a while to realize that my problems had nothing to do with the personal budget planner. My problems had a lot to do with me making very little money, however. It was then that I knew that I needed to take a second job to really balance my budget. After a lot of looking, I found a job that pays the bills. i found a part time job with less salary, Now, even when I do neglect my personal budget planner for a week or so, it is okay. You see, I still have some money in my budget to plan!

Prudential reports recession woes grow for pensioners

Westminster, London (PRWEB) March 21, 2009

New Prudential Class of 2009 retirement survey reveals the UK’s deepening economic crisis will mean the 3.25 million UK adults who plan to retire in 2009 can expect to receive £2.87 billion* less in their pensions than those who planned to retire in 2008.

The survey found UK workers planning to draw their pension (http://www.pru.co.uk/retire/pensions/ ) in 2009 expect to get an average income of £17,779 a year, £884 less than those retiring in 2008 who anticipated an average annual income of £18,663. Retirement (http://www.pru.co.uk/retire/ ) will mean taking a £7,129 cut in income compared with the national average salary of £24,908** but some believe they will be considerably worse off.

The Prudential survey showed that 11% of people retiring in 2009 expect to receive an income of less than £10,000 a year from their pensions and investments, with 12% of women expecting to manage on this level of income compared to 9% of men.

While 39% said their pension and savings would give them a decent retirement income, 61% were doubtful that they would have enough money to enjoy a comfortable life in retirement. When asked if they thought they were financially well prepared for retirement, only 47% responded positively.

Keith Haggart, Director of Lifetime Mortgages at Prudential said: “The global economic recession is relentless and indiscriminate in its impact and it was only a matter of time before we began to see British pensioners bear the brunt.”

He continued, “Although the results of our survey make unsettling reading, there are ways for pensioners to maximise their incomes during these difficult times. Drawing on some or all of the assets saved throughout their working lives, including releasing value from property through equity release schemes (http://www.pru.co.uk/retire/lifetime_mortgage/ ), can boost annual incomes without having a detrimental impact on quality of life or forcing pensioners to downsize or embark on a fire sale of their possessions and assets.”

Keith urged anyone approaching retirement or who has recently retired to talk to a financial adviser to help them review all their assets and savings to see how they could be used to maximise income.

Prudential’s retirement planning (http://www.pru.co.uk/retireyourway/buildyourplan/your_retirement_needs/ ) website helps consumers and employers tackle retirement issues. The website features a Retirement Planner which has been designed to help determine how much income a customer’s current arrangements might give them in retirement, factoring in current pensions, property, savings and investments. The Planner also shows customers how they might be able to boost retirement income, if there is a gap between what their current arrangements will provide at the point of retirement and what they anticipate they may need.
