Keep clients' plans on track by discussing reliance rate

Help strengthen your clients’ retirement income plans with a portfolio reliance rate review. We are by your side with resources and solutions that can help you incorporate these reviews into your practice and better support a client's plans.
How to stress test a portfolio
Help your clients understand the concept of a reliance rate by using a health care analogy. Offer to measure the health of a client’s current retirement income strategy by checking:
  1. “Heart rate” – the withdrawal rate
  2. “Blood pressure” – the reliance rate

Then, run the numbers using our reliance rate worksheet to set up your recommendations for better financial health.
