Navigate Clients Through Retirement with Confidence

Retirement GPS

The evidence is clear: retirees rarely run out of money. Instead, they adjust over time, spending more when they can and less when they must. So the current focus on the probability of failure is fundamentally flawed. The real questions are how likely is it that a client will need to take a pay cut, how large could it be, when might it occur, and how long could it last?

Income Lab uses total-risk-based guardrails to build sophisticated, customized plans for how clients will adjust their spending as circumstances change. We continuously test these plans against current conditions and alert you when a client's plan calls for a change.

Interactive Visual Planning with Life Hub

Give your clients visibility into every part of their financial plan, all in one place, at any level of detail, and at any point in time. Life Hub provides beautiful, compelling visualizations of how different plan items interact and change over time, and how clients can reach their financial goals and milestones.

Tax-Smart Distribution Planning with Tax Lab

Deciding how best to source portfolio withdrawals involves accounting for a full range of tax effects and a wide range of withdrawal strategies as they apply to each plan. Income Lab helps you quickly evaluate the tax consequences of strategies like Roth conversions, including the complex interactions of different types of income and their differential tax treatment, and produces simple, digestible data to help you and your clients make informed decisions.

Retirement Stress Test

The Retirement Stress Test tool gives advisors a way to connect retirement income management with memorable and relatable historical events like the Global Financial Crisis, the Dot-Com Bubble, 1970s Stagflation, and the Great Depression. Instead of stopping the stress test after a market shock, this new stress test tells the full story, continuing through the subsequent years and showing how long it took for spending and account balances to recover.
