96 New Ways to Optimize Retirement with David Blanchett & Michael Finke Ph.D.

What this episode covers

David Blanchett, Head of Retirement Research at $1.5-trillion AUM, PGIM (Prudential) and Dr. Michael Finke, Ph.D., Professor of Wealth Management, The American College, join us for a deep dive discussion into the challenges facing retirees, new ways of thinking about retirement and longevity, and new solutions advisors can use to help their clients optimize funding retirement income liabilities in this low rate, low yielding, & historically sky-high equity valuation environment. They answer the question, What are some of the newer ways retirees can approach this conundrum? The concurrence of demographic waves, economic and market conditions, equity valuations and bond yields, have culminated in a situation that leaves many investors nearing or at retirement, cornered by a limited number of effective, and not-so-effective, investment income generating options, ranging from moderately risky, to highly risky. There's a great deal to consider, and we get into a profound look at all of the considerations, and some options may be considerably more useful and less risky than others from all angles given the current investment climate.
