This example assumes a 90% probability rate. These hypothetical illustrations are based on rolling historical time period analysis and do not account
for the effect of taxes, nor do they represent the performance of any Putnam fund or product, which will fluctuate. These illustrations use the historical
rolling periods from 1926 to 2014 of stocks (as represented by an S&P 500 composite), bonds (as represented by a 20-year long-term government bond
(50%) and a 20-year corporate bond (50%)), and cash (as represented by U.S. 30-day T-bills) to determine how long a portfolio would have lasted given
various withdrawal rates. A one-year rolling average is used to calculate performance of the 20-year bonds. Past performance is not a guarantee of
future results. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Traditional asset classes are defined as those included in traditional balanced portfolios, such as stocks, bonds,
and cash, and that have been widely owned by individual investors since the post-war emergence of modern portfolio
theory.
Modern asset classes are specialized investments that were created or have become more accessible since the
advent of broader market participation by individual investors due to tax-advantaged retirement saving

Use a Roth strategy to
control your tax bill
• Source of tax-free income in retirement
– Access to tax-free source of income provides more options
on where to draw income from
• No mandatory withdrawals at age 70½
• Having a portion of retirement savings in a Roth IRA
can provide a hedge against the threat of rising taxes
in retirement
EO002 296692

Preserve your wealth in retirement
through tax efficient withdrawals
Retirement situation
Proposed course of action
Lower marginal tax rate
Draw from traditional retirement accounts to
maximize use of lower relative tax bracket, which
may help to reduce RMDs at age 70½
Higher marginal tax rate
Use tax-free or taxable assets to avoid higher income
tax rates and potentially take advantage of lower
capital gains rates
Significant appreciation
in a taxable account
If leaving an inheritance, preserve taxable assets to
take advantage of “stepped-up” cost basis at death
Working in retirement
Avoid traditional retirement accounts, which will
increase overall income (higher income could trigger
taxes on Social Security benefits)
