Join us for an enlightening webinar featuring renowned retirement income expert and IncomeLab board member, Jamie Hopkins, as he delves into the cutting-edge concept of adaptive-based retirement income planning. In an era of evolving financial landscapes, technological enhancements, and uncertain market conditions, traditional retirement income strategies like the 4% distribution strategy may no longer suffice. In fact, most of our planning today is too binary, focused on success and failure rates that miss the whole point and behavioral aspects of generating real world retirement income for clients. Jamie will shed light on the benefits of embracing adaptability in your retirement income planning, allowing you to navigate the complexities of today's financial world with confidence and resilience. Learn how to tailor your retirement income to your client's unique circumstances, effectively managing risks and optimizing an adaptive guardrail based retirement income approach to deliver a more sustainable retirement income plan. Don't miss this opportunity to gain invaluable insights from a leading authority in the field and enhance your financial future. Join us for this webinar and embark on a path towards a more secure and adaptive retirement.

Learning Objectives:


  • Understand how to assess clients' evolving financial needs and risk tolerance, enabling advisors to tailor adaptive-based retirement income plans that align with individual goals and circumstances.
  • Learn how to effectively incorporate dynamic asset allocation strategies within retirement income planning, enhancing the ability to adapt to changing market conditions and optimize portfolio performance.
