Working with your client and entering the data takes less than five minutes and has your client actively engaged in establishing their retirement goals and patterns.
The all-in-one dashboard design of the product allows you and your client to see everything that impacts their retirement in one glance. The dynamic displays and charts create a clear picture for your client that eliminates all of the mystery of a successful retirement plan.
There are five basic asset types for any asset you enter:
- Portfolio — This is the default asset type. Funds allocated as portfolio are used to pay expenses as
needed, until depleted.
- Estate — This asset's base and growth (if any) are NEVER touched to pay monthly expenses. It
remains as an estate asset to be left to heirs.
- Life Insurance — When you select this as an asset, the system displays a Life Insurance Asset detail
screen, where you enter all of the information from your life insurance exhibit. If an annual income is
specified, then this asset's base and growth are not touched to pay monthly expenses.
- Annuity — When you select this as an asset, the system displays an Annuity Asset detail screen,
where you enter all of the information regarding the annuity. If an yearly lifetime income is specified (or
the "annuitized asset" box is checked, then this asset's base and growth are not touched to pay
monthly expenses.
- IRA — When you select this as an asset, the system displays an IRA Asset detail screen, where you
enter all of the information about the individual retirement account. Except for the fact that there are
required minimum withdrawals for an IRA, this asset is treated as a simple portfolio asset in all other
respects.
The monthly income worksheet and additional income worksheet make it easy to enter data into the plan in a logical and easy-to-follow sequence.
