Rethinking retirement income withdrawal strategies

Financial professionals often view retirement income planning through the lens of the 4% rule, but changes in longevity and a lower-return environment challenge conventional wisdom about safe withdrawal rates.

Join wealth management expert Michael S. Finke, Ph.D., as he explores factors that can affect how your clients access and spend retirement funds to meet their needs and objectives, including:

  • What it means to take risk with an investment portfolio in retirement
  • How high prices for bonds and stocks can impact withdrawal rate projection
  • The impact of behavioral finance and aging on optimal spending

This webinar is for financial professionals only.
