Offering retirees security and peace of mind

In allocating assets, instruments that are low cost and do not try to beat the markets are preferred.

IN last month's article, we talked about how we helped our retiree client, David, plan for his retirement using our proprietary tool called RetireWell. Based on what David wants, we allocated S$1.479 million of his draw-down assets into the various buckets as shown in the accompanying table.

To reiterate, this is how our recommended approach and structure work:

From age 59 to age 83, David will receive a monthly income (adjusted for 3 per cent inflation). A portion of it will come from the income bucket which provides the safe retirement income floor. The rest of it will come from drawing down from Bucket 1.
