Optimizing Retirement Income Solutions in Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
Optimizing Retirement Income Solutions in Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
Overall Rating: 4.6 / 5
Learn how recent Society of Actuaries research can be applied to retirement income options and investing decisions for DC plan sponsors, participants and consumers.
This presentation highlights conclusions from a four-phase research project sponsored by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Stanford Center on Longevity. It illustrates an analytical framework for evaluating retirement income generators (RIGs) that could be offered in defined contribution retirement plans, and how to use a diversified portfolio approach for developing retirement income strategies.
The reverse mortgage option should be viewed as a method for responsible retirees to create liquidity for an otherwise illiquid asset, which in turn can create new options that potentially support a more efficient retirement income strategy (more spending and/or a greater legacy). Financial advisors must pay attention to their client’s home equity, as this is a vital asset that can be used as part of a coordinated strategy to improve retirement outcomes.
In "Optimizing Retirement Income Solutions in Defined Contribution Retirement Plans" by Steve Vernon and Wade Phau, you will:
- Apply stochastic forecasting and efficient frontiers to illustrate an analytical framework for retirees and advisers to make informed retirement income allocation decisions;
- Learn the retirement income generators (RIGs) that are currently available for DC retirement plans and are straightforward to implement;
- Determine if outcomes can be improved by using retirement savings to enable delaying Social Security benefits;
- Review solutions that use qualified longevity annuity contracts (QLACs) to design retirement income solutions;
- Analyze solutions that protect retirement income in the period leading up to retirement with deferred income annuities and guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits.
