As clients transition into retirement, advisors must shift from a focus on asset accumulation to a holistic wealth planning approach. In this article in Globe Advisor (The Globe and Mail), Longevity's VP Product, Simon Barcelon, notes that over 40% of advisors' clients are currently in the decumulation stage, and emphasizes the need for careful consideration of income and estate goals. This involves categorizing needs vs. discretionary spending, using lifetime income solutions to protect essential income and generally aligning investment selection with clients' retirement objectives. ✂ "𝐀 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐬.

📣 Longevity Pension Fund is 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 on all 5 investor cohorts. (Press release: https://lnkd.in/gSK-nT63)   Transparency is a core principle of the Longevity Pension Fund, and we at Purpose Investments are proud of this commitment. We chose to define an Income Policy and engage outside actuaries to review the fund’s performance and standing annually. In the years ahead these Annual Reports will lead to a mix of increases and decreases to the distribution levels, yet it is gratifying that the distribution levels will hold steady for the fund’s 3rd year despite such turbulence in global financial markets – offering Longevity investors the confidence to spend knowing they won’t outlive their assets.   Please download and review the Annual Report to better understand the fund’s structure & design, and performance over the past 12 months.
