Did you come through 2008 and 2009 without some significant loss in your retirement portfolio? My guess is that almost nobody was immune to the market devastation.
CPS can help you make prudent decisions regarding your retirement lifestyle. The two most important things to remember in planning your retirement lifestyle are:
- Don’t run out of money before running out of life.
- Know what you magic number is.
CPS specializes in planning a guaranteed income for life. CPS is unique in determining how much money you need in your retirement portfolio at the point you wish to retire. That is your magic number.
Most retirement planning considers that a portfolio will assume to have a static return, such as 8% annually. However, the market does not cooperate with that assumption. Instead CPS uses a method called “Monte Carlo” simulation. This has been used in many business and military planning projects, i.e. The Manhattan Project, the project that produced the Atomic bomb, and business inventory planning.
Rather than assume a static return, the software runs through over 1000 iterations of market activity over the last 60 years. The result is a probability of success that you will live your retirement years in the lifestyle you wish.
