- 16. TRADITIONAL PLANNING Conclusion
Traditional retirement planning focuses mostly on
asset allocation and saving for retirement.
The ultimate goal of retirement planning is to
transition savings into life-long, sustainable income
streams to satisfy our Needs and Wants throughout
retirement.
In order to be successful, we must proactively reassess
the assets we have saved for retirement and redeploy
them in a way that will address the Key Risks of
Retirement (i.e. come back down the mountain safely).

- 22. MARKET RISK
Equities – The Necessary Evil
Equity exposure is typically needed to reach certain
retirement objectives.
Equities have historically been relied upon to be a
powerful growth vehicle and inflation hedge.
However, Market Risk, if not addressed, could wipe
out your entire portfolio before or during retirement.
Copyright © 2011 ValMark Securities Inc. All Rights Reserved.
- 24. SEQUENCE OF RETURN RISK
It is not important when buying and holding
(average returns work just fine for accumulation).
Once you start withdrawing money in retirement
(distribution), average returns are irrelevant.
Example: “If the market averaged 7% annually, I
can safely assume that a 5% withdrawal rate is
sustainable throughout retirement.”

If sequence of return risk is not addressed, then
successful retirement depends on being lucky
enough to retire in the right years.
A solution must be used that facilitates enough
market/equity exposure necessary to reach asset
accumulation goals, while still allowing for
sustainable withdrawal rates from the portfolio
regardless of return sequence in retirement.

- 30. LONGEVITY RISK
Advances in medicine, technology and increased awareness of
healthy living increase life expectancy.
Life expectancy is the halfway point (50% will live beyond this
number).
Retirement planning should focus on the probability of survival
(outliving income is a legitimate risk).
Optimized retirement portfolios typically have a lifetime income
component because predicting death is impossible.

Health care costs are growing twice as fast as general inflation.1

term care in their lifetime.2
Health care cost without long term care expenses is the second biggest
expense for retirees, averaging about 20% of the couples total monthly
expenses.3
About 75 percent of single people and 50 percent of all couples spend all
their savings within one year of entering a nursing home.4

RETIREMENT PLANNING MYTHS
Myth#1: Effective asset allocation explains 95% of investment
performance in retirement
As we get closer to retirement, I believe that asset allocation takes on a more limited
role, compared to the much more important and critical decision of suitable product
(income) allocation.” - Moshe Milevsky Ph.D, Schulich School of Business, York University
Myth#2: The most import thing to focus on in planning for
retirement is accumulating enough assets (i.e. What’s Your Number?)
The most important thing about retirement is not just accumulating a lump sum of
money, but turning this money into an annual, life-long income streams (i.e. making it
back down the mountain safely)…. “What’s Your Percentage?”
Myth#3: The risks we face saving for retirement are the same
ones we face during retirement.
Unique risks will fight against retirement income once we begin the distribution phase

BUILDING YOUR R.I.S.K™
• “Any income allocation strategy that does not export all of the
longevity, LTC, market and inflation risks will likely fail."
– Jim Otar, Unveiling the Retirement Myth
• “I've run thousands of simulations of hypothetical retirements and
ranked what can go wrong. Far and away the biggest causes of failure
are longevity risk, inflation and a sour market early in retirement. No
one kind of investment works against all three. So you need to
diversify among investment products, just as you need to
diversify among stocks and bonds and so on.”
– Moshe Milevsky Ph.D, Schulich School of Business, York University

- 50. BUILDING YOUR R.I.S.K™
“Individuals, largely due to a lack of awareness and education about
these more optimal ways to deploy a portion of their retirement
assets, often end up deploying assets less efficiently than possible to
achieve the financial objective of maximizing income while
minimizing the probability of outliving it.”

THE 3 CORE PLANNING PRINCIPLES
TRANSITION FROM ASSET ALLOCATION TO INCOME ALLOCATION
1 Effectively transition your retirement savings accumulation strategies to
distribution strategies.
DETERMINE YOUR WITHDRAWAL PERCENTAGE
2 Determine the percentage of savings you can withdraw as income each year so
it is sustainable throughout retirement.
ADDRESS RISK
3
Ensure that your annual income streams are protected against the key risks you
will face during retirement.

We are faced with a retirement crises. Lifelong income
streams are no longer handed to us at retirement.
Traditional planning focuses on asset allocation. This is
great for accumulation. However, distribution planning
requires us to develop proactive income allocation
strategies.
In order to “Make It Back Down the Mountain Safely,”
these income strategies must work together to address
Key Retirement Risks.
It is helpful to use a process to make this great transition.
The process should incorporate complimenting income
distribution strategies built upon sustainable withdrawal
rates that work together to address Key Retirement Risks.
