Getting Help Pays Off
An independent study reveals some key missing items
that can make a HUGE difference to your retirement savings
Portfolio Risk is Off-Target for Many
60.5% of Non-Help Participants had inappropriate risk levels. Of those, approximately two-thirds were taking on too much risk, and about one-third were taking on too little risk, jeopardizing these participants’ ability to accumulate sufficient retirement wealth.
You can–and should–have the right amount of risk in your portfolio. We can help.
Getting Help can improve outcomes Greatly
The annual performance gap between Help Participants’ and Non-Help Participants’ median returns was 3.32%, net of fees over the period
2006–2012.
This difference can have a meaningful impact on wealth accumulation over time. For a 45-year old Help Participant it could translate to 79% more wealth at age 65.
Is 79% more money worth a look?
This difference can have a meaningful impact on wealth accumulation over time. For a 45-year old Help Participant it could translate to 79% more wealth at age 65.
If two participants—one using Help and one not using Help—both invest $10,000 at age 45, assuming both participants receive the median returns identified in this report, the Help Participant could have 79% more wealth at age 65 ($58,700) than the Non-Help Participant ($32,800).
The GOOD news is
there’s PLENTY you can do about it!
