Navigating Retirement Income and Investment Strategies

If a retired investor has the ability to use a flexible distribution strategy it will likely produce one of the best financial outcomes in retirement.

Before discussing flexible distributions Paul lists the reasons he believes that 99% of successful long term depends on defensive steps. After listing 18 defensive decisions he explains why flexible distributions are better than fixed distributions for those who have over said.

The presentation includes 16 distribution tables that can be found in this pdf for the presentation.

In each case Paul compares the difference in returns and risk between the fixed and flexible distribution strategies. The discussion compares returns and total distributions for two of the 9 sound investing portfolios: one using the S&P 500 and the other the U.S. 2 Fund Portfolio (50/50 S&P 500Small Cap Value).
