Optimizing For Long-Term Tax Efficiency in Client Portfolios | Michael Finke

Advisors who understand the mathematics of tax-efficient retirement investing can build wealth more efficiently and increase retiree income by more than 10% through smart distribution strategies.

A new framework for understanding the tax efficiency of basis assets such as stocks and insurance products is needed which provides insight into which assets to sell first in retirement to fund income.

By paying attention to marginal tax rates during accumulation and distribution, and the unique characteristics of taxation among account types, advisors can provide true alpha to high income clients whether they are still in their working years or are already retired. This presentation introduces asset location among the four fundamental account types using a net return framework.

In “Optimizing for Long-Term Tax Efficiency in Client Portfolios” by Michael Finke, you will learn:

  • How to build an investing strategy that funds a spending goal with the highest net return for a given level of risk.
  • How to take advantage of asset location strategies to improve clients’ net investment returns.
  • Tax-friendly asset liquidation strategies for clients with a variety of taxable and tax-sheltered accounts.

Snowbirding – Living in More Than One Location in Retirement | Steve Parrish

Determining Your Clients’ Retirement Income Style | Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA, RICP

As baby boomers reach retirement, advisors must solve new problems for clients who aim to sustain their lifestyle over an unknown horizon. Multiple retirement income strategies have emerged and it is hard for retirees to identify which strategies match their personal style.

This presentation is based on research that identifies and validates a set of scorable retirement income factors to define preferences for an overall retirement income style. It describes a workable retirement model by showing how the factors connect to four main retirement income strategies: systematic withdrawals with total return investing, risk wrap with deferred annuities (or a HECM line of credit), protected income with immediate annuities (or HECM tenure payments), and time segmentation.

Approaching retirement income agnostically and matching retirement income strategies based on an individual’s personal retirement income style may lead to improved outcomes for retirees. This presentation better brings to life the safety-first and probability-based retirement planning approaches.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify various approaches taken for retirement income strategies.
  2. Explain underlying retirement income factors which explain retiree preferences that coalesce into a retirement income style.
  3. Link retirement income styles to existing strategic approaches for retirement income that satisfy retiree preferences.
