How are you planning your retirement

Social Security

Social Security is now perceived as a fragile and inadequate solution which will have to be substantially supplemented.

Individual Savings Programs

Most people, despite their good intentions, do not save on a regular basis and their investments do not increase as projected.

Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans

These plans offer the most logical, efficient way for employees to save for the future.

Social Security

1950: 6.46 Workers Supporting each retiree.

2000: 4.48 Workers Supporting each retiree.

2030: 2.46 Workers Supporting each retiree.

2005 Budget: Inflows of $668 Billion with outflows of $534

Billion. The surplus of $134 Billion is spent elsewhere!

2014: There will be more outflows than inflows, and will create deficits of more than $600 billion per year.

The basic principle of risk and return

Greater return potential= greater risk

The longer the time frame, the more risk you can take

Diversify to reduce risk

Very conservative investments have the risk that they may not keep up with inflation

When planning for your retirement, a good rule of thumb is that the more growth you want to achieve, the more risk you must generally assume.

Controlling Risk

Investment Strategy

A study by Gibson Capital Management found that a diversified portfolio split evenly among four different asset types did better over the long run with less risk than any one of the assets classes separately. The diversified portfolio had 25% allocated to each asset class and covered the 26 years between 1972 and 1997(Sun Sentinel 5/23/99).

Some realities of investing…

No one knows which sector will be the best (or worst) performer in the coming years.

Trying to time the market is usually futile.

By the time many individual investors decide to overweight one sector, it is often too late.

Best strategy is to use asset allocation: a balanced mix of all different asset classes, and rebalance annually.

Take the mystery and emotion out of investing, stay focused on the long term.
