InFRE's Retirement InSight and Trends
InFRE's quarterly newsletter, Retirement InSight and Trends, helps committed professionals with the practical application of new concepts in the field of retirement readiness, counseling, planning and income management. The latest issue contains the following articles:
"How to 'Pensionize' Any IRA or 401(k) Plan"
by Steve Vernon, F.S.A., Research Scholar, Stanford Center on Longevity. The "Spend Safely in Retirement Strategy" is a straightforward method for middle-income workers to generate reliable, lifetime retirement income from any IRA or 401(k) plan. It was one outcome of a substantial research project conducted by the Stanford Center on Longevity, in collaboration with the Society of Actuaries.
"Integrating Home Equity and Retirement Savings Through the 'Rule of 301'"
by Peter Neuwirth and Barry Sacks. Most people reaching retirement age have savings in a 401(k) account or otherwise that are inadequate to meet their consumption needs during retirement. Recent research has shown that integrating home equity with retirement savings provides a strong enhancement of the amount available throughout retirement.
"How to Protect an Aging Client's or Adult Child's Retirement Security from a Medical Crisis"
by Annalee Kruger of CareRight Inc. A medical crisis can put families into a tailspin if a plan is not in place ahead of time. Advisors must understand how a medical event might affect the retirement security of the aging client and their adult children caregivers, and what can be done to help clients be financially and legally prepared.
