Something to Consider:
“Stocks have outperformed fixed income securities over time.
Why not always invest in stocks for future funding?”

The impact
of risk on retirement income
The primary concern for most investors is the possibility of permanently losing their money.
Such a loss can prevent them from reaching their financial goals..
Whether investing to meet a long-term objective or taking retirement income from their
investments, it’s critical that investors recognize the risks they face and try to manage them
with the help of their financial adviser.
During retirement, if market volatility becomes magnified and time to recover losses becomes
compressed, the margin for error narrows. That’s why it’s important for investors at this stage
to seek retirement-income strategies that can be resilient when markets decline and can
generate consistent streams of income.

Some Assumptions Do Not Apply
Before Retirement
Cash flow not an issue
Known time horizon
Risk = standard deviation
Cash flow is critical
Unknown time horizon
Risk = loss of capital
During Retirement
Why Do We Invest?
To satisfy a current goal
To satisfy a future goal
Goals Drive Investments,
Investments DO NOT Drive Goals

The Common Approach:
Aggressive
I don’t want to lose any
money, but if I can still
make a little money, that’s
great!
I want to make money and I
don’t mind taking a few
risks to make it happen. I want to make the most
money possible! I am willing
to take whatever risks
needed to make it happen!

Determining Your Risk Tolerance
Determining Your Risk Tolerance
The Expanded Approach:
Risk Questionnaires
Your Age and Time Horizon
Your Assets and Savings Potential
Your Level of Comfort
Your Spending Level
Risk is approached from two different directions
1. How much risk do I need to take?
2. How much risk do I want to take?
I need to consider several
factors to determine my true
risk tolerance…

Effect of Variability
PORTFOLIO A PORTFOLIO B
First Year Return Gain 30% Gain 10%
Value After First Year $1,300,000 $1,100,000
Second Year Return Loss 10% Gain 10%
Value After Second Year $1,170,000 $1,210,000
Average return for each portfolio was 10% per year. Portfolio B
with a stable return had a real dollar return which was $40,000
greater than Portfolio A
RULE: Given 2 portfolios with the same arithmetic return the
portfolio with the lowest volatility will always have the highest
real dollar return.
For illustrative purposes only. This chart does not reflect the performance of any specific investment.
Original Value $1,000,000 $1,000,000
Not in Hard Copies: Variance Drain
• Here’s an example:
– Using coin-flipping
– 50% chance of coming up heads or tails
– In the experiment, heads doubles your money and tails loses half your money
Head 100%
Tails -50%
Heads 100%
Heads 100%
Tails -50%
Heads 100%
Tails -50%
Tails -50%
Heads 100%
Tails -50%
Average 25%
Seems highly
profitable right?
Variance drain: Average Return
• Let’s put some money to the numbers and see
– For the experiment, we will start with $2000
Head 100% $4000
Tails -50% $2000
Heads 100% $4000
Heads 100% $8000
Tails -50% $4000
Heads 100% $8000
Tails -50% $4000
Tails -50% $2000
Heads 100% $4000
Tails -50% $2000
Return 0%
You started with $1000 and ended
with $1000
• How is that possible?
• Your average return was
25%, but your compounded
return is 0
Variance drain: Compounded Return
– Volatility is reduced by lowering the risk you take
– In this experiment, you will only commit half of your
capital, thereby halving your risk
Investment: $1000
Half Balance
Return
Head 50% $1500
Tails -25% $1125
Heads 50% $1688
Heads 50% $2531
Tails -25% $1898
Heads 50% $2848
Tails -25% $2136
Tails -25% $1602
Heads 50% $2403
Tails -25% $1802
Total Return 80%
After 10 flips, you had a total
return of 80%, or 6.1%
compounded per flip
• You netted a profit of
$800 on this investment
so far

A History of Declines
Declines are inevitable and are a natural part of investing.
While in the midst of a decline, it is difficult to estimate the intensity and length.
It is important to understand that, while frequency, intensity and length vary, these
events have been somewhat regular for over a century.
Market Declines are Inevitable
From October 2007 to March 2009, the S&P 500 fell over 56%. As of February
2010, it has since rallied back 40%.

Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT)
Diversification
Every investment decision should have as its objective
the enhancement of the portfolio’s return, the reduction
of risk, or both.
The purpose of diversification is not merely to increase
returns, but rather to achieve a desired level of return
with a minimum level of risk.
To protect a portfolio from being vulnerable to just one
asset class, it is important to develop policies that will
lead to diversified portfolios.

Why Rebalance?
Monte Carlo Simulation
A large number of random trials are run.
Patterns in the trial’s outcomes show the most likely range and
concentration of results.
Please Note:
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. The
results shown do not represent the returns of any particular
investment.

Monte Carlo Simulation
Instead of a single $100 investment, test the same choices
for different investors…
What if I were saving $10,000 a year?
Would they produce the same results?
Monte Carlo Simulation
One choice may produce over TWICE the amount of money

WHEN you receive a return can be far more important
than your average return
Monte Carlo Simulation
Most plans assume you will achieve the average return each
year and ignore bull and bear markets.
Understand your Odds
With probability analysis, you project many results; including
both bull and bear markets
Future Markets
— Warren Buffett
Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, 1988
© American Funds Distributors, Inc. AI-90
“We do not have, never have had,
and never will have an opinion
about where the stock market,
interest rates, or business activity
will be a year from now.”
Investing in an Uncertain Market
Set realistic expectations
Stick to sound investment strategies
Customize your portfolio to suit your investment objective
Invest for the long term and stay the course

  • 6. The impact of risk on retirement income The primary concern for most investors is the possibility of permanently losing their money. Such a loss can prevent them from reaching their financial goals.. Whether investing to meet a long-term objective or taking retirement income from their investments, it’s critical that investors recognize the risks they face and try to manage them with the help of their financial adviser. During retirement, if market volatility becomes magnified and time to recover losses becomes compressed, the margin for error narrows. That’s why it’s important for investors at this stage to seek retirement-income strategies that can be resilient when markets decline and can generate consistent streams of income. © American Funds Distributors, Inc.

  • 18. Not in Hard Copies: Variance Drain • Here’s an example: – Using coin-flipping – 50% chance of coming up heads or tails – In the experiment, heads doubles your money and tails loses half your money Head 100% Tails -50% Heads 100% Heads 100% Tails -50% Heads 100% Tails -50% Tails -50% Heads 100% Tails -50% Average 25% Seems highly profitable right?
  • 19. Variance drain: Average Return • Let’s put some money to the numbers and see – For the experiment, we will start with $2000 Head 100% $4000 Tails -50% $2000 Heads 100% $4000 Heads 100% $8000 Tails -50% $4000 Heads 100% $8000 Tails -50% $4000 Tails -50% $2000 Heads 100% $4000 Tails -50% $2000 Return 0% You started with $1000 and ended with $1000 • How is that possible? • Your average return was 25%, but your compounded return is 0
  • 20. Variance drain: Compounded Return – Volatility is reduced by lowering the risk you take – In this experiment, you will only commit half of your capital, thereby halving your risk Investment: $1000 Half Balance Return Head 50% $1500 Tails -25% $1125 Heads 50% $1688 Heads 50% $2531 Tails -25% $1898 Heads 50% $2848 Tails -25% $2136 Tails -25% $1602 Heads 50% $2403 Tails -25% $1802 Total Return 80% After 10 flips, you had a total return of 80%, or 6.1% compounded per flip • You netted a profit of $800 on this investment so far

  • 39. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) Diversification Every investment decision should have as its objective the enhancement of the portfolio’s return, the reduction of risk, or both. The purpose of diversification is not merely to increase returns, but rather to achieve a desired level of return with a minimum level of risk. To protect a portfolio from being vulnerable to just one asset class, it is important to develop policies that will lead to diversified portfolios.

  1. This chart shows the very basic rules that typically regard the risk/return characteristics of the three major asset classes. A blend of these three gives us the most basic forms of asset allocation.
  2. Similar to the previous chart, this basically profiles the type of investor. Locating where an investor is on this chart will help to find out which investment, or combination of investments, is best to achieve the desired levels of risk and return.
  3. The primary concern for most investors is the possibility of permanently losing their money. Such a loss can prevent them from reaching their financial goals.Whether investing to meet a long-term objective or taking retirement income from their investments, it’s critical that investors recognize the risks they face and try to manage them with the help of their financial adviser.Today I’d like to focus on understanding the impact of risk on retirement income. During retirement, when market volatility can be magnified and time to recover losses can be compressed, the margin for error narrows. That’s why it’s important for investors at this stage to seek retirement-income strategies that can be resilient when markets decline and can generate consistent streams of income.

During retirement, when market volatility can be magnified and time to recover losses can be compressed, the margin for error narrows. That’s why it’s important for investors at this stage to seek retirement-income strategies that can be resilient when markets decline and can generate consistent streams of income.
  5. Some common assumptions about investing during one’s saving years simply don’t apply to retirement planning. For example:Cash flow from investments typically is not an issue before retirement. On the other hand, cash flow during retirement is critical because it can have a profound impact on portfolios.Investors saving for retirement can generally determine the time horizon during which they intend to invest. The good news is that we are expected to live longer. However, because investors can’t precisely predict their life expectancy, they don’t know how long they will need income in their retirement years.I’ll talk a little more about that in a moment.One of the statistical measures often used in the industry to assess the risk of an investment is standard deviation. Standard deviation measures the spread of returns from the mean — essentially, the returns’ range of low to high relative to mean.Risk for retirees — regardless of how it’s measured— can mean losing capital and, ultimately, outliving their retirement savings.
  6. Maintaining a grasp of the underlying goal is key to developing an investment strategy.
  7. Risk questionnaires most commonly contain anywhere from 5-25 questions that help assess one’s risk. Examples include: How important to me is Capital Preservation? (Rate from 1-5, with 1 being not important and 5 being extremely important) How important is low volatility in my portfolio? How important is growth in my portfolio? How important is cash flow? Age and Time Horizon: How many more years will I work before I retire? Will I fully retire or continue to work part time? Given increased life expectancy tables, how long do I want to plan on living off of retirement assets?Assets and Savings Potential: How much can I contribute to

  11. Here’s a sample portfolio for Tom, an investor in the distribution phase.Tom is a recent retiree. After more than 30 years of traveling from city to city selling medical supplies to hospitals, he’s looking forward to a more stable lifestyle — spending quality time with his wife, children and grandchildren.Now that he’s in retirement, Tom plans to live off his investment — withdrawing 6% from his account each year.Tom’s portfolio comprises:5% growth funds20% growth-and-income funds15% equity-income/balanced funds60% bond funds
  12. Here’s a sample portfolio for Lori, an investor in the distribution phase.Lori is a teacher. And while her and her husband’s combined salary sufficiently supports their family, she wants to supplement her existing income in order to provide additional support to her widowed mother. So, Lori plans to withdraw 3% from her account each year in order to help her mom pay for some of her living and medical expenses.Lori’s portfolio comprises:15% growth funds25% growth-and-income funds20% equity-income/balanced funds40% bond funds
  13. Even though you have a 100% return on the upside and only a -50% return on the downside, you still ended up with 0 return.
  14. Here’s the example: if you commit, say, half of your capital and can take advantage
  15. Talking Points:Although Portfolio 1 experiences a strong gain in the first year, this gain is more than eliminated in year two. Portfolio 2 experiences a much smaller gain and loss during the two-year period. The lower volatility of returns produces a higher compound return and preserves more portfolio value. Managing volatility is particularly crucial during a market downturn. After experiencing a loss, a portfolio must earn an even higher return in future periods to fully recover to its previous level.Investors should design portfolios to experience less fluctuation in returns. Lower volatility can result in a higher compound return and greater terminal wealth. The photo here shows an investor that on the red track who seems to be happy, while the person on the yellow track looks to be frightened. Which of these two investors do you think is most likely to experience the various points on the Behavioral Finance chart we talked about last week?
  16. There’s no escaping the fact that the market will fluctuate — sometimes for the better, other times for the worse. That’s just the nature of investing. Of course, it’s the bad times we have the most difficulty with. I don’t know if this will help, but if you look back at the stock market’s history since 1900, you’ll see that declines happened and, yes, on a regular basis. They also varied widely in intensity, frequency and length. Routine declines of 5% or more have occurred about three times a year and have lasted an average of 47 days. In contrast, bear markets — when stocks fall 20% or more — have occurred about once every 3½ years and have lasted about 11 months, on average. This table provides a good overview of how often the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped since 1900. As you can see, declines are really just par for the course when it comes to investing.
  17. Because market declines can erode principal, they can have a severe effect on portfolios designed to provide income. Let’s look at what history has taught us about some of those inevitable market declines. This is an illustration of the S&P 500 Index monthly returns from January 1, 1931, through December 31, 2011 —. There have been 14 US Recessions — lasting from days to months to years. These bars indicate the duration and severity of these declines, which have ranged from short and mild to long and severe.
  18. Talking Points:This cartogram depicts the world not according to land mass, but by the size of each country’s stock market relative to the world’s total market value (free-float adjusted).  Population, gross domestic product, exports, and other economic measures may influence where people invest. But the map offers a different way to view the universe of equity investment opportunities. If markets are efficient, global capital will migrate to destinations offering the most attractive risk-adjusted expected returns. Therefore, the relative size and growth of markets may help in assessing the political, economic, and financial forces at work in countries. The cartogram brings into sharp relief the investible opportunity of each country relative to the world. It avoids distortions that may be created or implied by attention to economic or fundamental statistics, such as population, consumption, trade balances, or GDP. By focusing on an investment metric rather than on economic reports, the chart further reinforces the need for a disciplined, strategic approach to global asset allocation. Of course, the investment world is in motion, and these proportions will change over time as capital flows to markets offering the most attractive returns.
  19. When you think of the weather in San Francisco and Kansas City, do you think it’s the same? While the two cities have a similar average annual temperature of 57° and 54° respectively, they experience dramatically different ranges in temperature. This spread in temperature is the standard deviation. Generally, the weather in San Francisco varies 5° from the average (52° to 62°). However, there is a greater fluctuation in temperature for Kansas City, where the temperature can vary as much as 18° from the average (36° to 72°). Now, consider what this means if applied to your investment portfolio. Although two portfolios can have similar annualized returns, the ride along the way can be significantly different. One portfolio may have a higher standard deviation, reflecting more ups and downs while the other portfolio could have a lower standard deviation, indicating a smoother ride
  20. The standard deviation of a fund measures this risk by measuring the degree to which the fund fluctuates in relation to its mean return, the average return of a fund over a period of time. Variance:A measure of the dispersion of a set of data points around their mean value. Variance is a mathematical expectation of the average squared deviations from the mean.

  22. Talking Points:The size and BtM effects appear in both US and international markets—strong evidence that the risk factors are systematic across the globe.This graph demonstrates the higher expected returns offered by small cap stocks and value (high-BtM) stocks in the US, non-US developed, and emerging markets. Note that the international and emerging markets data is for a shorter time frame.Small cap stocks are considered riskier than large cap stocks, and value stocks (as defined by a higher book-to-market ratio) are deemed riskier than growth stocks. These higher returns reflect compensation for bearing higher risk. A multifactor approach incorporates both size and value measures—and exposure to non-US markets—in an effort to increase expected returns and reduce portfolio volatility. An effective way to capture these effects is through portfolio structure.
  23. This slide documents the frequency with which the value and size premiums have been positive over various time periods in the international (non-US) developed stock markets from 1975-2011.  In the international markets, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks—and small cap stocks have outperformed large cap stocks—in a majority of all rolling return periods measured. The value premium has been strongly positive more often than the size premium. The time periods, which range from five to twenty-five years, are based on annualized returns for rolling 12-month periods (e.g., January-December, February-January, March-February, etc.). The total number of 12-month periods for each time frame is indicated in the footnotes. The set of available data for non-US developed markets is considerably shorter than US markets. As a result, the smaller set of observations can amplify the effect of sustained periods of negative or positive premiums. This may explain part of the frequency difference between the 20-year and 15-year periods for the international small cap premium.
  24. This slide documents the frequency with which the value and size premiums have been positive over various time periods in the US stock market from 1926 to 2011.  As the results illustrate, US value stocks have outperformed US growth stocks—and US small cap stocks have outperformed US large cap stocks—in a majority of all the rolling return periods measured. The US value premium has been positive more often than the size premium. The time periods, which range from five to twenty-five years, are based on annualized returns for rolling 12-month periods (e.g., January-December, February-January, March-February, etc.). The total number of 12-month periods for each time frame is indicated in the footnotes.
  25. Thiscurve forms from a graph plotting return and risk indicated by volatility, which is represented by standard deviation. According to the modern portfolio theory, funds lying on the curve are yielding the maximum return possible given the amount of volatility.,
  26. Talking Points:The slide shows the basic allocation of a two-component portfolio, which is named the “Basic Institutional Portfolio” (Model Portfolio 1) in this example. Between 1973 and 2009, Model Portfolio 1 produced an annualized compound return of 9.41% with annualized standard deviation of 11.18%.The next few slides will demonstrate a multifactor approach to portfolio design. The analysis will show how adding major risk measures in the US and non-US markets can increase expected returns and reduce volatility in the portfolio.
  27. Talking Points:Model Portfolio 2 reflects a move from long-term to short-term fixed income. A simple reallocation to the one-year Treasury note index reduced annualized compound return and annualized standard deviation during this time period.This change does not offer a higher return benefit, but it can help advance the overall strategy for an investor who wants to pursue the higher expected returns of equities. This type of investor may be better served holding shorter-term government instruments, then “spending” the risk on greater exposure to equity risk factors (small cap or value), where the expected return premiums are potentially increased.
  28. Talking Points:Model Portfolio 3 incorporates the size effect into the asset allocation by reducing the S&P 500 component from 60% to 30% of the portfolio and committing the difference to US small cap stocks, as represented by the US Small Cap index.This movement from large to small cap US stocks results in a boost to the portfolio’s annualized compound return—but also adds a potent amount of volatility to Model Portfolio 3 (standard deviation).An investor might conclude that this increase in annualized return may not justify a large jump in standard deviation. But this allocation is not yet complete. Acceptance of more risk from the BtM effect offers a compelling example of diversification’s potential.
  29. Talking Points:Model Portfolio 4 shows the historical benefit of adding value stocks in both small and large cap measures to the portfolio allocation. This is achieved by reducing the US small cap component from 30% to 15%—and moving the allocation to 15% US Large Value and 15% Targeted Value Indexes.The portfolio now has more exposure to value, which boosts annualized return while reducing volatility. The reintroduction of larger company size (from small cap to large value) counteracts the higher volatility of small value stock exposure in the Targeted Value Index.Now compare Model Portfolio 4 to the original 60/40 balanced strategy in Model Portfolio 1. Adding higher weights of small cap and value risk dimensions raised the portfolio’s annualized compound return; however, this required acceptance of higher annualized standard deviation. There is one more step in this structured tradeoff example—and it is found outside the US.
  30. Talking Points:Model Portfolio 5 completes this multifactor construction by diversifying outside the US. All four US asset classes are reduced by half, from 15% to 7.5% allocations, and the balance is apportioned equally to five non-US asset classes—international large, small, large value, and small value indexes, and emerging markets blended index.The portfolio’s 60% equity allocation is now evenly split between the US and international markets, with roughly equal exposures to size and BtM. The historical data for the performance period shows Model Portfolio 5 producing the highest annualized compound return of all the portfolios, without an increase in volatility. In fact, adding the global component reduces the variability in the portfolio’s return due to the lower correlation of international and US risk dimensions. Compared to the original 60/40 balanced strategy, Model Portfolio 5 offers higher annualized return with only slightly higher volatility. A globally diversified allocation harnesses the power of markets, manages the risk-return tradeoff, provides broad diversification, and offers calculated exposure to compensating risk factors through structured investing.
  31. Talking Points:Equities can reward investors who maintain a long-term outlook. But inconsistent short-term performance may test one’s commitment to a long-term strategy. This slide reveals how such temptations may arise—and the dangers of yielding to them. Since 1926, the S&P 500 Index has offered an annualized compound return far above the return on one-month Treasury bills. This long-term effect confirms the higher returns offered by equities. During the seventeen-year sub-period between 1965 and 1981, T-bills slightly outperformed stocks, illustrating that the equity premium is not reliably positive.
  32. These are actual results based off of a hypothetical 20 year portfolio of:30% Barclays Munis25% Russell 1000 Growth10% MSCI EAFE10% Russell 200025% Russell 1000 ValueNote that threshold rebalancing is the choice method of portfolio management. When the allocation to, say, large cap value deviates by 20% of the target allocation or, in this case, 20% of 25% is 5%, so if it is out of balance by 5% or more, then the portfolio is rebalanced. Systematic rebalancing, as in scenario 2, is better than no rebalancing at all, but will likely incur unnecessary trading costs. Perhaps the most significant benefit to rebalancing is the selling of overvalued asset classes as they have appreciated in the portfolio (causing a break through the 20% target on the upside, and the buying of undervalued assets on the 20% downside)
  33. Talking Points: This slide shows performance of a balanced investment strategy following a few historical crises. Each crisis is labeled with the month and year that it occurred or peaked. The subsequent one-, three-, and five-year annualized returns start from the first day of the month following each crisis. Although a global investment strategy would have suffered losses immediately following most events, the financial markets recovered over time, as indicated by the positive three- and five-year annualized returns. Negative events such as these may tempt investors to flee the financial markets. But diversification and a long-term perspective can help investors apply discipline to ride out the storm.A quick note: as of today, the S&P 500 is up roughly 54% since september 29th 2008.

  34. Severe declines such as the 2000-2002 bear market can deplete principal and seriously distort the amount of income withdrawn from a portfolio.A hypothetical initial investment of $100,000 in the S&P 500 Index on March 24, 2000, with monthly withdrawals totaling 5% annually and increasing 4% each year to account for inflation, would have fallen to $43,961 — less than half the original amount. Let’s look at what happened to the withdrawal rate during that time frame.[Note to presenter: Advance slide to show the rising withdrawal rate fever line.]By October 9, 2002, it would have increased to 12.3% — more than twice the initial withdrawal rate of 5%.[Note to presenter: The 12.3% withdrawal rate is calculated by dividing the total amount withdrawn in the third year, which was $5,408 ($5,000 increasing by 4% each year), by $43,961 (the ending value).]By the way, the total amount withdrawn over the entire period — from March 24, 2000, through October 9, 2002 — was $12,904. Clearly, this would not be a sustainable arrangement for most investors. As you can see from this illustration, the preservation of principal in declining markets — as well as growth of capital — is integral to retirement planning. Moreover, investors seeking a sustainable source of income might want to consider the potential benefits of professionally managed investments rather than investments in an index. I’ll discuss these benefits in a moment.Finally, investors at this stage should seek effective strategies that can provide downside resilience.
  35. “We do not have, never have had, and never will have an opinion about where the stock market, interest rates, or business activity will be a year from now.”That’s not just my opinion; it’s the view of Warren Buffett, the nation’s most famous investor. Mr. Buffet included this statement in his 1988 letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway.We don’t know what will happen to the market either. But there are a few things on which we can all agree.
  36. When investing in an uncertain market, here are some simple rules to remember:Set realistic expectationsYou may not be able to predict the market, but you can learn from history. As we’ve seen, financial markets can go up, go down or even stay flat. In addition, we’ve recognized that market declines are natural and have eventually ended. By looking at different types of investments and their historical averages, you can gain a better perspective in order to set realistic expectations and assess your tolerance for volatility.Stick to sound investment strategiesWe discussed three specific techniques — buy and hold, regular investing and diversification — and the various benefits they provide if practiced consistently. These strategies can help you effectively cope with market uncertainty and keep you focused on your long-term financial goals.Customize your portfolioDifferent investors have different needs, depending on their investment phase, financial goals and income requirements. If one portfolio doesn’t fit all investors, the same is true for your portfolio at different stages of your life. Whether you’re in the accumulation phase or the distribution phase, you can customize your portfolio to suit your investment objective.Invest for the long termDuring periods of market uncertainty, it’s critical that you stay committed to your long-term fundamentals. Be patient and ride out the waves. Bull and bear markets come and go. Successful investors stay the course.
