The Basics of Income Allocation
By CE Corner
Income allocation mitigates or eliminates the impact of luck on a portfolio by using available retirement savings as efficiently as mathematically possible.
In this course by Jim C. Otar you’ll learn the seven-step process of income allocation so you can effectively address luck when planning with clients.
A detailed plan that incorporates income allocation “can create significant professional respect and trust” and “differentiate an advisor,” Otar says.
After taking this course, financial advisors will understand:
• the impact of luck on a portfolio
• the impact of asset allocation on a portfolio
• what income allocation is, its purpose, and how it differs from asset allocation
• how portfolios benefit from income allocation
• the seven steps of the income allocation process and how to execute them
Jim C. Otar is a retired financial planner and engineer, and founder of www.retirementoptimizer.com. He is also an author of investing-related books, including Advanced Retirement Income Planning (2023 update).
