As market conditions evolve and traditional retirement income rules face new challenges, financial advisors are encountering clients who are uncertain about sustainable withdrawal rates from their retirement portfolios.

The classic 4% rule may no longer provide adequate guidance in an environment of elevated equity valuations and shifting bond yields, potentially leading to either premature portfolio depletion or unnecessarily conservative spending that diminishes quality of life. This uncertainty can undermine advisor confidence in withdrawal recommendations and leave clients anxious about their financial security throughout retirement. 

This presentation will equip advisors with current research-based frameworks for determining appropriate withdrawal rates, strategies for communicating withdrawal trade-offs to clients, and tools for adapting withdrawal strategies based on changing market conditions and client priorities.

In "How Much Can I Really Withdraw? Navigating Safe Retirement Spending in Today's Market" with Eric Ludwig, you will:

  1.  Analyze current research on safe withdrawal rates and understand why traditional rules may need updating;
  2.  Evaluate different withdrawal strategies and their impact on portfolio longevity versus lifetime spending;
  3.  Apply flexible withdrawal frameworks that can adapt to market conditions and client circumstances;
  4. Assess the trade-offs between maximizing retirement income and preserving assets for bequests;
  5. Develop communication strategies to help clients understand withdrawal decisions and manage retirement spending anxiety.

You may also take this on-demand course any time for 1 hr CFP®, CRC®, and other Continuing Education Credit when you pass the online quiz.
