FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Hey! I'm Clarke Holt, and I'm your host this week for Elevate Wealth. Recently, I've been chatting with clients about the different stages of retirement, and this week we want to focus on the distribution phase, or the spend-down phase. I'm very pleased to have our president and CEO Deanne Rosso with me Hey, Clarke! Welcome, Deanne! Thank you. So, Deanne, what would be your number-one piece of advice to give clients during this phase? Yeah, so thanks for having me, Clarke. You know, for this phase, we're talking about from the time that you start your required minimum distributions, which is age 73 or 75, until you pass away. So it's the evolution from your go-go years to your slow-go years and then finally your no-go years, where you may be homebound or need care. And financially, what that looks like, is a dome shape or the top of an egg, where at first your assets are are gaining while you're taking withdrawals, but then you'll crest and kind of towards that spend-down phase you'll start to spend down those assets naturally, because due to inflation, price increases, what you need in income, your assets will start to decline in value. So, you know, the most important thing to do during this phase is to make sure that you maintain a sustainable withdrawal rate. And a sustainable withdrawal rate and basically what I mean by that is, don't take too much money out of your accounts. A sustainable withdrawal rate is going to vary based on your personal situation, based on how your portfolio is invested, a number of factors. But a rule of thumb is generally 4 to 6 percent of your portfolio that would be a sustainable withdrawal rate. That's really great advice, Deanne. Is there anything else you might add? You know I think the most important thing obviously other than just a sustainable withdrawal rate is making sure you have a plan for that, and remember that you don't have to go It alone.
