To prepare yourself for a happy retirement, you need to know the risks. It’s a bit like boxing. The punches you see coming don’t knock you out—you can prepare for those. It’s the punch you didn’t see coming that puts you on the canvas. Risks that you can identify, you can often eliminate or minimize.

The longer you live, the more likely you are to experience the subset of risks that could completely derail your retirement plan. In the context of retirement planning, longevity risk is the number one risk facing future and current retirees. If you have been expecting to rely on your 401(k), IRA or 403(b) assets alone you are particularly susceptible to longevity risk. Longevity risk is known as the “risk multiplier” because the risks get larger as you age.

The three significant subsets of risks elements that comprise longevity risk by becoming enhanced or magnified as you age are:

  • Health Emergencies
  • Market Risks
  • Taxation

 

Saving through tax-deferred plans such as a 401(k), IRA or 403(b) rarely protects from longevity risk.

At the MaysGroup, our focus is utilizing mathematically proven safeguards that help protect you from the pitfalls and landmines found in both the asset accumulation and income distribution stages of retirement. In this way, we can eliminate the threat of longevity risk by systematically repositioning portions of your current tax-deferred funds into retirement vehicles that are immune to both market declines and taxation while helping to mitigate the effects of a health emergency
