PCT Pro was designed <\/strong><\/p>\n

Portfolio Crash Test Pro was created because there was not a tool for Financial Advisors that allowed them to specifically examine the internal and external risk of a client\u2019s portfolio. Each feature within the software enables a financial advisor to confidently sit with a client and explain the opportunities and vulnerabilities of their investment situation. RetireRisk, one tool, aims to contextualize the client\u2019s portfolio around their retirement plans.<\/p>\n

PCT Pro\u2019s tools are best used in harmony<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many features in PCT Pro that help financial advisors better understand their client\u2019s financial situation. Indeed, RetireRisk is best when combined with an assessment of Risk Tolerance and Risk Capacity with the questionnaire<\/a><\/u> which can complete at home before a meeting<\/a><\/u>. The questionnaire assesses the emotional and practical capacity of a client to bear risk in search of a reward. Advisors tell us that clients appreciate when many aspects of their personal situations are considered and RetireRisk is a real-time display of possible retirement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to use RetireRisk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The RetireRisk module is located directly above the Crash Rating and Risk Capacity slider. Click this to open the tool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"\"

     <\/p>\n

    Whereas some Retirement Planning Softwares bind options and limit customizability, PCT Pro allows you to personalize each model to match your client\u2019s unique financial situation.<\/p>\n

     <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    2. If necessary, adjust the time horizon; saving period and annual amount; then the withdrawal period and annual amount. This will create a chart reflecting the projected portfolio value.<\/p>\n

    \"\"

    3.We recommend inserting a crash around every 15 years into a retirement model, so we made those the default parameters. This assumption is safe to assume based on historical recessions. The magnitude of a crash is not customizable, and RetireRisk uses the average loss of the worst 3 crashes in the default scenarios. However, you can add and remove crashes, or a recovery to cater to you or your client\u2019s expectations. (At this time there is not a scenario to model a complete financial collapse, Mad Max scenario.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4.Whereas some retirement risk planners bind the possible outlooks, PCT Pro allows you to specify annual cash flow changes by year (Figure 4). You can build a trustworthy relationship with clients by presenting models catered to their unique situation. Maybe the client wants to give money to grandchildren in years 26-30, expects to save more after inheriting money from that creepy uncle, or expects a divorce soon after retirement. After discussing the client\u2019s planning and expectations you can build that into PCT Pro\u2019s retirement model. Also, you can express these values in nominal or real terms. Modeling in today\u2019s dollars assumes a 2% loss in value due to price level increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5.In this same window, you can also customize annual withdrawal rates and add annotations to describe a particular year (Figure 5). You can also add a withdrawal tax and advisory fee, though these elements are not customizable by year.<\/p>\n

    \"\"

    6.Finally, if you desire, three portfolios can be attached to a model (Figure 6). A retirement portfolio will not stay in the same strategy throughout the withdrawal period as the client\u2019s Risk Capacity declines with age. This can be useful if the client anticipates switching to a different investment strategy as they age or have additional cash flow constraints. Simply click the bubble and load other premade PCT Pro portfolios.<\/p>\n

    As you can see, Portfolio Crash Test Pro allows you to better serve and communicate investment ideas with your clients with a simple interface, yearly customization, and tools to objectively measure a client\u2019s financial position. The RetireRisk feature, though, is just one tool in the PCT Pro software.
