hi this is Malley with incom laab this
0:12
video will walk you through a demo of
0:14
the incom lab platform and showcase how
0:16
the software is revolutionizing the way
0:19
advisers guide their clients to and
0:21
through
0:23
retirement income lab is a financial
0:25
planning tool that focuses on the three
0:27
most important questions that every
0:29
client has has what can I afford to
0:31
spend in retirement what could cause me
0:34
to adjust that spending what could those
0:37
adjustments look
0:39
like you will notice that we do not show
0:41
any scores or probabilities here because
0:44
clients don't fail in retirement they
0:47
adjust click view more to break down how
0:50
much of this income is from Social
0:52
Security other income sources like
0:54
pensions and annuities and how much is
0:56
withdrawals from the client's portfolio
0:59
down to the account l level we can see
1:01
here that about 45% of this client's
1:04
income is from safer or guaranteed
1:06
sources like Social Security annuities
1:09
and
1:11
pensions one of our most popular
1:13
features and a client favorite is our
1:15
retirement income guard
1:17
rails advisors can show clients how much
1:20
their portfolio would have to grow for
1:21
them to receive an increase in income
1:24
and how much of an increase they would
1:26
receive or in a downside scenario they
1:29
can see how much of their portfolio
1:31
would have to drop for them to receive a
1:33
decrease in income and the size of that
1:36
decrease of course there's no one size
1:38
fits-all when it comes to clients and
1:40
their retirement plans so we give you a
1:42
range of options that help you tailor
1:45
these guardrails to your client risk
1:47
preferences if your clients are a bit
1:49
more conservative and would like to see
1:51
their plan essentially run on autopilot
1:54
you can decrease their starting income
1:56
which in return gives them a very low
1:58
chance of ever hitting their lower
1:59
guardrail and needing to trim
2:02
spending or maybe you have clients who
2:04
are a bit more aggressive and would like
2:06
to live life to its fullest these
2:08
clients can spend more but the trade-off
2:11
would be a higher chance they'll hit
2:12
that lower guard R in the future and
2:14
need to tighten the belt the goal here
2:16
is to set up clear expectations from the
2:18
start in dollar terms so that clients
2:21
know what to expect if or when their
2:23
income may need to be adjusted in the
2:25
future but we don't stop at setting the
2:28
right expectations you can also set any
2:30
income lab plan to be tracked and
2:32
monitored each month we automatically
2:35
update all plan values from account
2:37
balances to ages inflation and Social
2:40
Security benefits and let you know if
2:43
any plans are off track and call for
2:45
adjustments that way you and your
2:47
clients know there's a process for
2:49
keeping them on
2:51
track with guardrails we know that plans
2:53
don't fail they adjust but what could a
2:56
lifetime of adjustments look like and
2:59
how do these plans fair in tough times
3:02
to answer these questions we can take
3:03
this plan and run it through some of the
3:05
worst economic time periods in history
3:08
like the Great Depression 1970 stack
3:11
flation the Doom bubble and most
3:14
recently the global financial crisis
3:17
this helps us see how this plan would
3:19
have navigated the returns and inflation
3:21
from these periods and when adjustments
3:23
would have been called for to keep the
3:24
plan on track for example during the
3:28
global financial crisis this plan would
3:30
have called for a $500 decrease in
3:32
income but by 2015 this relatively small
3:36
and temporary adjustment is over and
3:38
income would have increased from there
3:41
if advisers want to show more details to
3:43
their clients they can scroll down and
3:45
show how the balance and guardrails
3:47
would have performed through these
3:48
periods the green area is the upper
3:50
guardrail the red area is the lower
3:53
guardrail and the blue line in between
3:55
is the portfolio balance you can see
3:57
when the balance hit a guardrail and on
3:59
the graph above we can see what impact
4:02
it had on their income the stress test
4:04
is also a great place to compare
4:06
different planning options for example
4:09
here we can see the difference in income
4:11
experience between a plan with a
4:12
balanced portfolio and one with a heavy
4:15
stock allocation or in this example we
4:18
see the smoothing of the retirement
4:20
income experience that could come from
4:22
allocating some of a portfolio to an
4:25
annuity this is a great way to help
4:27
clients understand what adjustments
4:29
could look like and to make important
4:31
asset allocation and investment
4:35
choices once you have a plan for how
4:37
much to spend and how to adjust the next
4:40
question is how should I Source my
4:42
portfolio withdrawals and should I
4:43
consider Roth conversions to answer this
4:46
question let's move on over to the tax
4:48
lab the tax lab helps to optimize your
4:51
client's plan for taxmart distribution
4:53
planning it helps to give comprehensive
4:56
highquality advice on how to Source
4:58
portfolio withdrawals and optimize taxes
5:01
over the long term quickly compare the
5:03
tax performance of different strategies
5:06
to quantify how adopting a taxware
5:08
approach could help clients and dive
5:11
into a strategy to explore how taxes
5:13
evolve over time with no additional data
5:16
entry income lab will automatically show
5:19
the strategy with the highest projected
5:21
long-term net income or lowest total
5:24
taxes and compare it to the most
5:26
commonly given advice which is sourcing
5:29
your taxes from taxable tax deferred and
5:31
then taxfree accounts these results show
5:34
the impact of utilizing a more tax
5:36
efficient strategy over the life of the
5:39
plan if you click view strategies you
5:41
can quickly analyze all the different
5:43
strategies available in the software and
5:46
select the ones you want to compare the
5:48
tax lab helps advisers easily show their
5:51
clients how much they can reduce their
5:53
average tax rate how much they can save
5:55
in overall taxes the amount of net
5:58
income that means for them and how much
6:00
they could leave in their Legacy by
6:02
following a tax efficient distribution
6:04
strategy our total tax view shows
6:07
estimated annual taxes for each strategy
6:09
you're comparing the show table button
6:12
below will open the spreadsheet view of
6:13
the side by-side comparison another
6:16
important thing to consider is the break
6:18
even age of doing these conversions sure
6:20
clients could be saving hundreds of
6:22
thousands if not millions of dollars but
6:25
if they do not break even until they're
6:26
100 or even 105 does it really makes
6:30
sense maybe it does depending on their
6:32
legacy goals for their kids or heirs but
6:35
we will show you the cumulative taxes
6:36
for both strategies here and Mark where
6:39
the plan needs to make it out before you
6:41
start to reap the benefits of doing one
6:43
strategy over the other you can also see
6:46
that this is where your expertise as an
6:48
adviser comes into play we give you the
6:50
best foundation and analytics for you to
6:53
then interpret and make the best
6:55
decision for your clients rather than
6:57
comparing two different strategies in
6:59
the compare section we can also dive
7:01
into the explore section where we can
7:03
look at any taxmart distribution
7:05
strategy on a year-by-year basis here
7:08
you have a nice visual showing how the
7:10
ordinary income is filling up the tax
7:12
brackets you can also see how the
7:14
long-term capital gains income is
7:15
filling up its respective tax brackets
7:18
as well as the different Medicare Irma
7:20
brackets and if they are being triggered
7:22
on the right you have a legend that lays
7:24
out what the amounts may look like for
7:25
Roth conversions and all of your other
7:27
sources of income you can also see some
7:30
estimated actions for the year such as
7:32
making withdrawals from taxable accounts
7:34
withdrawals from your tax deferred
7:36
accounts and in this case additions back
7:38
into your taxfree accounts the show
7:41
