Abstract:
The present invention is a method of monitoring a retirement income plan and managing retirement income through use of a retirement income planning tool. The retirement income planning tool is comprised of modules working together in order to facilitate planning, monitoring, management and generation of a retirement income plan. The projected assets are generated in response to the processing of financial data input into the retirement income planning tool in view of potential investment performance scenarios. The financial data input into the retirement income planning tool includes at least a customer's desired retirement income levels, assets level and retirement compensation levels. The retirement income plan is comprised of at least data representative of projected retirement compensation, asset levels and projected asset withdrawals. The retirement income planning tool compares a client's retirement compensation to the comprehensive retirement income levels desired in order to determine the level of asset withdrawals necessary to achieve the comprehensive retirement income levels. The method of monitoring includes guidelines for dynamic management and monitoring of retirement asset withdrawals and investments in order to facilitate retirement asset utilization over the life of the retirement income plan.
