Frequently asked questions
What is sequence-of-returns risk?
It's the risk that a market downturn early in retirement — while you're withdrawing — does lasting damage to how long your money lasts, even if average returns later recover.
How do I plan for outliving my money?
Longevity risk is addressed by planning for a long life: building dependable income for essentials and stress-testing your plan against a 90+ year horizon.
Can annuities help manage these risks?
Guaranteed income can cover essential expenses so you rely less on selling investments in a downturn. Any guarantees are subject to the issuing insurer's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC insured.
