Managing Market Volatility in Retirement

Planning for retirement involves navigating through various financial risks, and being aware of these threats is the first step toward a secure future. There are three main risks that can jeopardize your financial well-being:

  1. Longevity Risk: The risk of outliving your savings.

  2. Inflation Risk: The risk of the cost of living being higher than anticipated.

  3. Market Risk: The unpredictable volatility that can decrease your portfolio's value, including the subset known as Sequence of Returns Risk, which can be particularly damaging around your retirement date.

A solid investment strategy can help you plan for longevity and inflation risk – but market risk is perhaps the most unpredictable and harmful to your financial wellbeing. This is especially true at or around your retirement date. That’s where a Cash Wedge Strategy can help.

What is the Cash Wedge Strategy?

The Cash Wedge Strategy aims to provide stability to your retirement income during market volatility. By allocating a portion of your portfolio to cash, you can meet your immediate income needs while diversifying the rest of your investments to benefit from market participation.
