Deciding how much to spend from savings in retirement is complicated given uncertain lifespans, asset returns, inflation, etc.

This presentation explores the concept that lifetime income can gives retirees a “license to spend” whereby households with a greater share of their wealth in lifetime income spend more than retirees who hold more of their wealth in savings. 

Additional topics discussed include a framework to determine the optimal lifetime income strategy, advisor perspectives on lifetime income solutions, and how we can improve financial plans to give clients better advice and guidance. 

In "Lifetime Income: A License to Spend" with David Blanchett, you will learn:

1. Spending assets in retirement is difficult when confronted with significant uncertainties around things like market returns, mortality, inflation, etc.;
2. There is a relatively robust body of research on the economic benefits of allocating to annuities, but the “annuity puzzle” persists;
3. There is a growing body of research suggesting retirees underspend from savings, but that lifetime income can potentially give retirees a “license to spend”;
4. Common assumptions in financial planning tools today may not effectively demonstrate the potential value of lifetime income strategies.
