Couple in Nature

When you’re saving for retirement, you’re in the "accumulation phase". You’ll generally want a portfolio that has the potential to grow your money over the long term. Because you’re regularly adding to the portfolio with super guarantee contributions, and you’re not taking money out, you can tolerate investment fluctuations expecting your funds to recover over the longer term.

In retirement however, your attitude and investment goals will change. People typically become much more risk averse because their focus will shift to preserving what they’ve saved and generating an income.

When you’re thinking about investing your retirement funds, there are three important factors you need to plan for: 

1. Generating an income for day-to-day living;

2. Having access to lump sums for one-off events like holidays or a new car; and

3. Longevity – ensuring your money will last your entire retirement.

Deciding how to invest for retirement is no mean feat and every retiree is likely to have a different view on the relative importance of each of these goals. We have system that's tried and tested - Let us explain how it may work for you!

An obvious challenge in planning for your retirement is that it needs to be done without knowing how long retirement will actually be. And, without knowing the time horizon, it’s very difficult to know whether your spending can be higher or needs to be lower, and on the other side of the coin, whether your investments should be conservatively or more aggressively managed to make the most of what you’ve saved.

Longevity risk - The risk of outliving your savings.

 

Income risk - Your spending patterns will change over the life of your retirement. This is the risk that your income won’t be able to keep up with your spending. 

Inflation risk - The risk that price rises (such as electricity costs) erode the purchasing power of your retirement savings.

Sequencing risk - The risk of significant negative returns depleting your capital just before or early in retirement.

Liquidity risk - The risk of not having ready access to your money when it’s needed, especially for health shocks and aged care (without losing potentially some of your capital or incurring penalties).

The importance of these risks also changes during retirement. For example, while sequencing risk is very important early in retirement, longevity, liquidity and inflation risk become more important considerations over time.

What you do now is important because the risks change.

Don't worry, we've done this thousands of times. We've got this covered for you.

Once you have engaged our services to prepare a Retirement Strategy & Income Plan, we will commence building the your advice document.

This typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending upon complexity and access to current financial information. Within the plan, our overall philosophy will be based upon the application of proven retirement strategies. 

Our aim will be to develop a base of income for retirement,  that is predominantly unrelated to growth assets (e.g. the share market).

This is to provide confidence should stock markets sharply fall, you have a floor of income that will continue to provide your predetermined needed lifestyle.  These are all discussed at our initial meeting.

In terms of where we invest, a core value of our business is that we will always be product agnostic.  Our philosophy is to serve your best interest, through the adherence to proven, evidence-based investments.

Retirement means different things to different people so it’s important to find the right solution for your needs. There are many strategies to help you achieve your goals, both in and outside of super. These can be used in the lead up to, and during your retirement.
