What is Retirement?
    Social behaviorists say:
    •                Retirement is an uncertain social experiment
                     evolving out of the need to retire older workers
                     to make room for younger workers.

    •                Over time, the concept of retirement became the
                     reward for decades of hard work and many times,
                     unfulfilling work.

Retirement is a Gift of Time
• “Aging is humanity’s greatest, most important, and
   most enduring discovery. The discovery and exploitation
   of human longevity is what has led to the globe-dominating
   species we have become.” Dr. William Thomas, M.D.

• We have the most awesome resource in our retirees to
  help solve society’s most difficult problems.
      – Retirees can give of their time, skills, wisdom, and shared experiences.
      – This legacy will make for better individuals and communities.
      – To do this, retirees must have a safe, sustainable retirement income.

The Perfect Retirement Storm

The Perfect Retirement Storm
         is when you:
(1) Undersize your retirement nest egg
      - A TIAA-CREF Institute study on spending in retirement reported that more households
        are surprised by how high expenditure needs are.
      - People often underestimate health care costs, a growing concern as more and more
        employers drop coverage for retirees or spouses.

(2) Underestimate how long you are likely to live
      - Most people think of life expectancy as a target date by which you are likely to die
        rather than the point estimate at which about half the people of a certain age will still
        be alive. If a 65 year-old man has about a 30% chance of living to 90, this means, in
        actuarial science, that half of the people studied are expected to live longer.

(3) Overestimate how much you can withdraw from your
    retirement portfolio without depleting it
      - Using Retirement Income Planning (RIP), retirees develop more awareness about how
        different withdrawal rates can affect the odds that their retirement assets will last.

Age & Health - Retirement Threat #1

Don’t underestimate your life expectancy
• If you are 65, there is 50% chance you will live beyond 85.
• If you are a 65-year-old man, there is at least a 30% chance
  you will live to 90.
• If you are a 65-year-old nonsmoking woman, there is at
  least a 50% chance you will live to 90.
• Widows live, on average, about 18 years beyond the death
  of their spouse.

Health is Unpredictable
         • If you are 65, there is 50% chance you will need
           Assisted Living care at least once during your life.
              - If you are 70, there is at least a 68% chance you will need it.
              - If you are 80, there is at least a 75% chance you will need it.


         • Many U.S. retirees skip doses of prescription drugs or
           don’t fill prescriptions because of the high cost.
              - Over one-third of nearly 11,000 Americans over age 65 who were surveyed
                said they skimped on prescribed drugs to save money.
              - This study included people with chronic and costly diseases, including
                diabetes and heart disease, for whom prescription drug treatment is essential.

Don’t outlive your money
•              People retiring at 65 often assume their
               assets have to carry them only 20 years.

Spending Down Retirement Assets
How Much Money Do You Need?
• A MetLife survey asked what percentage of pre-retirement income
  will be required to support yourself after your career. More than
  half of the respondents said 50% or less.
                This might be the case, but only if you:
                      – Pay off your mortgage
                      – Remain in excellent health
                      – Live in an area where living costs are low
                      – Prefer low-cost retirement activities only


• A 2001 study conducted by Georgia State University and others found,
  on average, people needed about 80% of pre-retirement income.

Spending Down Retirement Assets
           How Fast Can You Draw Down
                   Your Assets?
 A MetLife survey asked what percentage of your portfolio could
 be withdrawn each year to ensure assets last a lifetime. About 27%
 of the respondents said 4% per year withdrawal rate.
                                     But, it depends upon:
                                     •    How your money is invested
                                     •    How financial markets perform

    • Risk-taking is an inevitable ingredient in investing, and in life,
      but never take a risk you do not have to take. (Peter Bernstein quote)

    • Investing without research is like playing stud poker and never
      looking at the cards. (Peter Lynch quote, global-investor.com)

    • I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the
      assumption that they could close the market the next day and
      not reopen it for five years. (Peter Bernstein quote, global-investor.com)

    • Good planning involves understanding the risk, mitigating it and
      making trade-offs as needed. (What Not to Do in Retirement Planning, Forbes.com,

          Tips about taking risk:
                   –   Recognize that we do not know the future

                   – You should take risk only if losses will not threaten
                     your survival

                   – You must focus on how serious the consequences
                     could be if you are wrong

                   – Make risk management a conscious part of the
                     investment process

• The American wage earners’ pension and 401K savings
  are now the major source of capital - making wealth more
  concentrated. (Jack Bogle, The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism, Yale Press, September 2005)

• “Our economy has suffered because managers have
  placed their own economic interest ahead of those of
  owners and investors.” (Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General, New York)

• “Capitalism has too many characters and not enough men
  of character.” (Cliff Asness, Ph.D., Managing and Founding Principal, AQR Capital Management)

• “Individual investors and beneficiaries remain helpless,
  intermediaries are passive or conflicted, and boards not
  yet effective.”(Ira Millstein, Senior Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manages LLP)

 Brokerage Firms
 • “The broker is not your friend”
        He is more like a doctor who charges patients on how often they change
        medicines. He gets paid far more for the stuff the house is promoting than
        the stuff that will make you better. (Warren Buffet quote)


 • “Be careful, even if your broker is fee-based”
        Brokerage firms often team up with money managers to create personalized
        portfolios of stocks and bonds, much like a mutual fund. You won’t pay a
        commission, but fees can be very high. (Arthur Levitt quote, former SEC Chairman)

 Fire Your Broker
 “If you have more than $50,000 to invest, you should
  fire your broker and find an investment adviser.”
     (Arthur Levitt quote)


 •      Brokerage firms would like you to think that they perform the same functions as investment
        advisers. But they’re not the same as independent investment advisers.
 •      Most brokers do not have a fiduciary duty (a legal obligation) to put your interests above his/her
        interests or that of the firm. In any case, an investment adviser’s fiduciary duty is on a higher
        plane.
 •      There are different kinds of investment advisers, depending upon their qualifications and how
        they are paid. Most charge fees or commissions.
 •      Be sure you find an adviser who can offer you a wider array of investments to lessen the chances
        of conflict of interests and provide you with more diverse investment choices.

Fees - Retirement Threat #4
   Many retirees consider a 2 percent annual fee
   to be quite low, but they don’t realize that it is
   “really a punishing levy”.
      Example:
                    If you invest $10,000 in a domestic stock fund with an
                    expense ratio of 2 percent and a sales load of 3 percent, and
                    you get an annual return of 7.5 percent for 20 years, your
                    money would almost triple to $27,508. But, you would have
                    lost $14,970 in fees and foregone earnings over the 20 years.

                    Therefore, you made only: $27,508 - $14,970 = $12,538 or 46%.

    Mutual Funds
  Americans have over $3 trillion invested in actively
  managed stock mutual funds and another $800 million
  invested in actively managed bond funds.
  • Experience clearly shows that fund managers’ stock and bond picking
    abilities usually fall short of their considerable fee-imposing abilities.
  • Mutual fund companies run up at least $70 billion per year in costs for
    investors in their attempts to beat the market.
  • “In total, expect to pay something in excess of 4% (fees) on your fund assets
    for a load fund. If you are good at picking only no-load funds, you should
    still expect (fees) totaling close to 3% per year. Compound these (fees) over
    your lifetime and you’ll see the serious bite they take out of your savings.”

Mutual Funds
Over 55 years ago, John C. Bogle (founder and former Chairman of the
Vanguard Group) sat in Princeton University’s Firestone Library and
contemplated his thesis topic on mutual funds.

• Over a half-century ago, Jack Bogle noted that the mutual fund industry was an
  industry in which the idea was to “sell funds that offer the small investor peace
  of mind, an industry primarily focused on stewardship”.

•     In contrast today, Bogle notes the mutual fund industry is one “focused
      primarily on salesmanship”, an industry in which “marketing (determines)
      what we sell, and in which short-term performance is the name of the game”.

   Mutual Funds
 “The way mutual funds are sold and managed reveals a
  culture that thrives on hype, promotes short-term
  trading, and withholds important information.”
        - The industry can mislead investors into buying funds on the basis of past
          performance, which should be only one of several factors to consider.

        - The industry spends millions of dollars on marketing, but does a
          relatively poor job explaining the effect of annual expenses, sales loads,
          and taxes on investment returns.

       Fees - a “Punishing Levy”
 • The way fees are automatically deducted from a fund’s returns makes
   them all but invisible. You never see an invoice and you never have
   to write a check.

 • Fees can be confusing, but not impossible to figure out if you know what to
   look for:
       - The fee table at the front of the prospectus lists one-time fees (e.g. front-end and back-end loads)
         and recurring charges (e.g. advisory fees and distribution fees that can include advertising).

      - The Expense Ratio is the percent of total fund assets (your money) eaten up by annual fees.
        Although it is used to comparison shop among funds, beware that it does not include the loads,
        which are charged only once.

       Fees - Hidden from View
 • Stock pickers, accountants, distributors, transfer agents, brokers,
   advertisers, attorneys, custodians and others suck steadily at the
   $7 trillion inside mutual funds.

 • Once recent challenge by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is
   that “fund companies hide steep trading expenses from their customers”.

 • “For every dollar you know you spend on fund expenses, another 40 cents
    is hidden from view,” said Mercer Bullard, a University of Mississippi
    assistant professor who acts as an investor advocate at www.fund democracy.com

 “Just follow the money”
 •      Variable annuities, mutual fund B shares, and brokerage firms’ in-house
        funds rank among Wall Street’s more dubious offerings. Yet brokers often
        are relentless in pushing these products, even when they aren’t in the
        client’s best interest.

 •      Fund A shares charge big upfront commissions, while B shares levy both
        higher annual expenses and a back-end sales charge if you sell in the first
        six years or so.

 •      But, regardless of the fund type, the brokerage firm immediately collects a
        4% or 5% commission from the fund company. The selling broker then
        gets perhaps 40 percent of this 4% or 5% commission.

 “Just follow the money”
 •      Many variable annuities charge both hefty annual expenses and a high
        surrender charge, making it tough to earn decent returns.
 •      While investors may not like variable annuities, brokers love them. As with
        Fund B shares, there are usually no breakpoints (reduced commission) on
        large investments and investors tend to sit tight due to surrender charges.
 •      Brokerage firms often collect commissions of more than 5% commission
        on variable annuities, making them a tempting product for income-hungry
        brokers.
 •      The best way for brokers to collect a fistful of commissions is to land new
        accounts. But, because brokers spend so much time hunting for new
        customers, they tend to neglect existing clients.

      Income Tax Mistakes
      • Retirees who pay income tax on earnings
        they are not using, for example:
                       Last year, one senior couple earned $64,000 from their investments.
                       and received $20,000 in social security income. They spent $24,000
                       of the investment earnings and all of the $20,000 social security income.

                       By moving the extra earnings of about $40,000 (the $84,000 income earned
                       less $44,000 income used) to a tax-deferred vehicle, they could save about
                       $15,000 in income taxes.

      • Retirees who pull too much money out of
        IRA funds instead of taking money out of
        regular non-IRA accounts

 Estate Planning Mistakes
 Retirees who do not plan their estate properly can leave
 much of their wealth in the hands of the IRS upon death.

          • The so-called “Death Tax” threshold in 2005 is $1.5 million,
            the amount below which no federal estate tax is paid

          • Since 2003, the top death tax rate has dropped from 50% by
            1% per year (e.g. 45% in 2009)

          • In the year 2010, the top estate tax rate is scheduled to be 0%

          • But, unless new legislation is passed, the estate tax threshold
            will return to $1 million in 2011, with a top tax rate of 50%

The Wonder of Tax-Deferral
     Compound Interest and the Rule of 72
•                                 Albert Einstein is credited with discovering the
                                  compound interest Rule of 72.


• Albert Einstein (1879-1955) called compound interest the
  8th Wonder of the World - it can work for you, or against you:
                 - When you invest, it works for you.
                 - When you borrow, it works against you!
• Making interest on interest, the power of compounding interest,
  is truly magical:
                                  At 15% interest for 25 years, $10,000 would grow to $330,000.

The Wonder of Tax-Deferral
     Rule of 72
•     Find the average annual return on your investments from your
      financial statements. This is your growth rate.

•     Divide 72 by your growth rate. This is the number of years it
      will take for your investment to double, assuming your rate of return
      remains constant. Keep in mind that rates of return for most
      investments are not guaranteed.
      Example:
           If you put $2,000,000 in a tax-deferred retirement account, it will grow to $4,000,000
           in 9 years, assuming a constant growth rate of 8%.

                However, it will take 14 years for the $2,000,000 to double in a taxable account
                at that same 8% annual rate of return (assuming a 33% tax rate).

            9.      Failing to Plan Your Estate
                    - The best way to care for your family if something happens to you is to put
                       an Estate Plan in place.
                    - After setting up a plan, be sure to fund the trusts and change the beneficiary
                       designations on life insurance, IRAs, etc.
                    - Planning should include considerations for disability as well as death, and
                      include:
                           . Powers of attorney for health care and property
                           . Living trusts

            10. Leaving Heirs Unprepared
                    - A big concern for families with significant wealth is how to teach their heirs to
                      responsibly manage their inheritance.
                      You can set up children’s trusts within estate documents that stagger the ages for
                      access to the money over time - e.g. at ages 25, 35, and 45.

                    - Another concern is who might actually inherit the estate that you intended to
                      leave to your children. A Dynasty Trust can be used to insure your bloodline

   • New financial products with up-to-date, expert advice:
                    – Old savings benchmarks and advice are simply outdated
                    – Tax codes and investment opportunities have changed


   • Retirement Income Planners (RIP) must be more
     creative and resourceful in helping clients decide:
                    – What retirement means to each individual, and
                    – How to achieve those financial and personal goals

Unforgettable Quotes
 • The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.      (Albert Einstein)

 • A big part of financial freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs
   of life. (Suze Orman)

 • You should invest in a business that even a fool can run, because someday a fool will.             (Warren Buffet)

 • The list of qualities an investor should have include patience, self-discipline, common sense, a
   tolerance for pain, open-mindedness, detachment, persistence, . . ., and the ability to ignore
   general panic. (Peter Lynch)

 • For some reason people take their cues from price action rather than from values. Price is what
   you pay. Value is what you get. (Warren Buffet)

 • Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (Albert Einstein)

 • The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
   You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot. (Ben Stein)

 • Winning at money is 80 percent behavior and 20 percent head knowledge. Most of us know what
   to do but we just don’t do it. (Dave Ramsey)

 • First time a Victim; second time a Volunteer. (Suze Orman)

  • 2. What is Retirement? Social behaviorists say: • Retirement is an uncertain social experiment evolving out of the need to retire older workers to make room for younger workers. • Over time, the concept of retirement became the reward for decades of hard work and many times, unfulfilling work.

  • 3. Retirement is a Gift of Time • “Aging is humanity’s greatest, most important, and most enduring discovery. The discovery and exploitation of human longevity is what has led to the globe-dominating species we have become.” Dr. William Thomas, M.D. • We have the most awesome resource in our retirees to help solve society’s most difficult problems. – Retirees can give of their time, skills, wisdom, and shared experiences. – This legacy will make for better individuals and communities. – To do this, retirees must have a safe, sustainable retirement income. © 2005 - Phillip Roy Financial Services Call us Toll Free: 1-888-225-8161

  • 7. The Perfect Retirement Storm is when you: (1) Undersize your retirement nest egg - A TIAA-CREF Institute study on spending in retirement reported that more households are surprised by how high expenditure needs are. - People often underestimate health care costs, a growing concern as more and more employers drop coverage for retirees or spouses. (2) Underestimate how long you are likely to live - Most people think of life expectancy as a target date by which you are likely to die rather than the point estimate at which about half the people of a certain age will still be alive. If a 65 year-old man has about a 30% chance of living to 90, this means, in actuarial science, that half of the people studied are expected to live longer. (3) Overestimate how much you can withdraw from your retirement portfolio without depleting it - Using Retirement Income Planning (RIP), retirees develop more awareness about how different withdrawal rates can affect the odds that their retirement assets will last.

  • 34. Wall Street May Not Be Your Friend Fire Your Broker “If you have more than $50,000 to invest, you should fire your broker and find an investment adviser.” (Arthur Levitt quote) • Brokerage firms would like you to think that they perform the same functions as investment advisers. But they’re not the same as independent investment advisers. • Most brokers do not have a fiduciary duty (a legal obligation) to put your interests above his/her interests or that of the firm. In any case, an investment adviser’s fiduciary duty is on a higher plane. • There are different kinds of investment advisers, depending upon their qualifications and how they are paid. Most charge fees or commissions. • Be sure you find an adviser who can offer you a wider array of investments to lessen the chances of conflict of interests and provide you with more diverse investment choices.

Example: If you invest $10,000 in a domestic stock fund with an expense ratio of 2 percent and a sales load of 3 percent, and you get an annual return of 7.5 percent for 20 years, your money would almost triple to $27,508. But, you would have lost $14,970 in fees and foregone earnings over the 20 years. Therefore, you made only: $27,508 - $14,970 = $12,538 or 46%.

The selling broker then gets perhaps 40 percent of this 4% or 5% commission.

As with Fund B shares, there are usually no breakpoints (reduced commission) on large investments and investors tend to sit tight due to surrender charges. • Brokerage firms often collect commissions of more than 5% commission on variable annuities, making them a tempting product for income-hungry brokers. • The best way for brokers to collect a fistful of commissions is to land new accounts. But, because brokers spend so much time hunting for new customers, they tend to neglect existing clients.

  • 52. The Wonder of Tax-Deferral Rule of 72 • Find the average annual return on your investments from your financial statements. This is your growth rate. • Divide 72 by your growth rate. This is the number of years it will take for your investment to double, assuming your rate of return remains constant. Keep in mind that rates of return for most investments are not guaranteed. Example: If you put $2,000,000 in a tax-deferred retirement account, it will grow to $4,000,000 in 9 years, assuming a constant growth rate of 8%. However, it will take 14 years for the $2,000,000 to double in a taxable account at that same 8% annual rate of return (assuming a 33% tax rate). © 2005 - Phillip Roy Financial Services Call us Toll Free: 1-888-225-8161

Failing to Plan Your Estate - The best way to care for your family if something happens to you is to put an Estate Plan in place. - After setting up a plan, be sure to fund the trusts and change the beneficiary designations on life insurance, IRAs, etc. - Planning should include considerations for disability as well as death, and include: . Powers of attorney for health care and property . Living trusts 10. Leaving Heirs Unprepared - A big concern for families with significant wealth is how to teach their heirs to responsibly manage their inheritance. You can set up children’s trusts within estate documents that stagger the ages for access to the money over time - e.g. at ages 25, 35, and 45. - Another concern is who might actually inherit the estate that you intended to leave to your children. A Dynasty Trust can be used to insure your bloodline will inherit your estate regardless of unanticipated events like divorce.
