RISK
IV.
The optimal range for confidence is 75% - 90%. Confidence levels below
75% indicate an unacceptable likelihood of plan failure. Confidence
levels above 90% may be subjecting the investor to undue sacrifice in
lifestyle or estate objectives.
$1.18 Million
This is most likely ending value for the invested portfolio, in today’s
dollars, based on the Monte Carlo simulation results.
12.9%
This is the probability that poor investment results will cause plan
confidence to fall below 75% during the next five years. This risk tends
to increase with the expected volatility of the investment strategy.

NOTES & NOTICES
The plan ignores the value of the emergency reserve at the plan’s conclusion.
PREThe modeling assumes that, except for what may be specified in the
RETIREMENT “Withdrawals/Additional Retirement Spending” section for the
period, the sum of all spending, saving and taxes are exactly equal to
and covered by employment income.
POSTThe modeling assumes that the specified spending/withdrawals and
RETIREMENT the Retirement Spending Allowance are funded first from retirement
income streams and then, as needed, from withdrawals from the
portfolio. Any retirement income in excess of spending
requirements is assumed to be contributed to the portfolio as
additional savings.
