Download Sample Report This report is offered as a tool for helping investors understand key factors in retirement investing. The charts and graphs produced from the information provided by you in the form below will be based on a Monte Carlo simulation method. This method simulates 10,000 portfolio outcomes an investor may experience based on long-term historical data starting from one of 100 IFA Index Portfolios, with a Glide Path option. The scenarios are presented in terms of statistical probabilities of portfolio survival at various ages of your retirement. The inputs include your age and time horizon, initial wealth, periods of savings and withdrawals, investment risk level based on your Risk Capacity Survey results or your age, an option for a Glide Path and a choice of whether to include or exclude the Great Depression in the historical risk and return assumptions of annualized return and standard deviation. This report is based on many assumptions which can make large changes in the outcomes and in no way can cover all the changes that occur throughout a lifetime. Your PDF report download link will be provided immediately and at no obligation.

  1. What is your current age? 

  2. Are you currently retired? 

  3. What is your current annual household gross income? $ 

  4. Estimate the average increase in your annual salary during the years of your employment? A common annual increase would be between 3% and 6%.  %

  5. Estimate the percent of your current annual household gross income you plan to contribute to retirement in years of employment. A typical annual contribution percentage would be between 5% and 15%.  %

  6. Most employees expect to retire at 67 years old. What age do you plan to retire?  

  7. The standard method of determining safe withdrawal rates during retirement is to take a percentage of your initial retirement portfolio, then adjust that dollar amount for inflation throughout your retirement. IFA also assumes that you will pay your taxes from those withdrawals, and that social security and other sources of income will be in addition to these withdrawals. As of 2016, the maximum social security benefit is $33,453.60/year for someone who retires at the current full retirement age of 66. We suggest 4.5% of your portfolio at retirement. Would you like to see what dollar withdrawals that would provide you?

  11. IFA needs to estimate the expected return and risk (standard deviation) of your Index Portfolio. Would you like IFA to use the 88 year data, which includes the Great Depression? If you choose no, IFA will make its estimates of risk and return based on the last 50 years, which does not include the Great Depression.
    Comments or questions:

  12. It is not realistic to assume investors will keep their investments at the same risk level throughout their investing lifetime. Therefore, IFA advises its clients to put their Index Portfolios on a Glide Path, which reduces the Index Portfolio by one number per year, which is a 1% reduction in the equity allocation per year. Would you like IFA to assume you are on the Glide Path?
