Major risks to retirement income 3. Investment risk Risk that actual investment return could be different than expected Theoretical risk versus return Asset classes and indexes from which their historical returns are derived are not managed funds, have no identifiable objectives and cannot be purchased. They do not provide an indicator of how individual investments performed in the past or how they will perform in the future. Performance of indexes does not reflect the deduction of any fees and charges and past performance of asset classes does not guarantee the future performance of any investment. 15
Major risks to retirement income Investment considerations Expectations Investor profile Risk tolerance Time horizon How will the income from the investment be used? How much will you need? When will you need it? What is your risk tolerance? When will you need the money? Emotional temperament Current financial status Time horizon Prior investment experience How long before you retire? Short-term: capital preservation Long-term: capital appreciation 16
Major risks to retirement income Asset allocation Conservative Aggressive Cash 10% Stock funds 20% Cash 10% Bond funds 10% Bond funds 70% Stock funds 80% Higher potential returns generally involve greater risk and short-term volatility is not uncommon when investing in various types of funds, including but not limited to sector funds, emerging market funds and small- and mid-cap funds. Risks for emerging markets include, for instance, risks relating to the relatively smaller size and reduced liquidity of these markets, high inflation rates and adverse political developments. Risks for smaller companies include business risks, significant stock price fluctuations and reduced liquidity. Investing in higher yielding, lower rated bonds has a greater risk of price fluctuation and loss of principal and income than U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bonds and bills. Treasuries are guaranteed by the government for repayment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Investors should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in the fund. Government securities are guaranteed by the timely payment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Fund shares are not insured and are not backed by the U.S. government and their value and yield will vary with market conditions. Neither asset allocation nor diversification ensure a profit or protect against market loss. 17
Major risks to retirement income Diversification Mutual funds: Allow for asset allocation and diversification Growth funds, income funds, index funds, sector funds Stock funds (equity funds) Bond funds (fixed funds) Corporate funds, high-yield (junk bond) funds, international/global funds, treasury funds Money market funds Invest in high-quality, short-term debt [e.g., U.S. Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs)] Source: The Three General Types of Mutual Funds.

Major risks to retirement income Annuities An option to turn assets into income you ll never outlive Contract with an insurance company Receive income payments at regular intervals Long-term investment for future retirement income Payment and earnings grow tax deferred Income for life and to beneficiaries after your death Guarantees are backed by the issuing insurance company s claims-paying ability 19
Major risks to retirement income Worried about market downturns? Consider an annuity with a lifetime guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) 1 Purchased to ensure payments never fall below the amount guaranteed by your contract 2 Contract terms, payout options, fees and investment/age restrictions vary 3 Features may include lifetime income at a set annual percentage 4 If your account value increased in a bull market, you would not need to use the rider Withdrawals in excess of permitted free amounts may be subject to early withdrawal charges. Withdrawals are also subject to taxation as ordinary income. Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. 20
Major risks to retirement income Case study Mary purchases an annuity that offers lifetime payouts and a 4% GMWB. She: Makes a single payment of $100,000 Invests 70% in stocks and 30% in bonds Withdraws 4%, which is $4,000, per year? What if a recession drives down the value of her investment? She continues to withdraw her $4,000 per year for the rest of her life, even if the value of her account drops to $0.? What if a bull market increases the value of her investments? She does not need to use the rider she purchased. She continues to withdraw at least $4,000 per year, and her account value increases to reflect market gains according to the terms of the annuity. Not an actual case and is a hypothetical representation for illustrative purposes only. 21

This hypothetical example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict the returns of any investment choices. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. There is no guarantee the selected rate of return can be achieved. The performance of the investments will fluctuate with market conditions. Also, note that this example does not take into account other potential sources of retirement income, such as Social Security, corporate pensions, etc. Keep in mind that all investments carry a certain amount of risk including possible loss of the principal amount invested. 26

Essential income planning The key is to have a strategy for life How much money will you need in retirement? How much money will you receive from your pension and Social Security? How much will be available in your tax-deferred plans and in other personal investments? Do you have a shortfall that you will need to make up? 33

Where to go from here? Financial 360 Plan - retirement summary sample plan This table assumes a hypothetical 4.5% rate of growth on investments (based on the geometric mean rate of return of your current portfolio). 1 Estimates of pension values are only an approximation of the future amount(s) you may receive, and many things can affect the accuracy of the estimate, such as pensionable earnings, interest rates and plan changes, among others. 2 This report approximates taxes by applying the effective tax rate furnished by the client to payments that are received from tax-deferred accounts as well as to any other taxable income. The taxes column also includes estimated capital gains taxes on any equity nonretirement assets withdrawn. Taxes on the growth of non-retirement assets are not included in this column. Instead, the effect of taxes on the amounts shown in the Non-retirement balances column is estimated by using an after-tax rate of return to grow taxable investments. 39
