Impact's Retirement Road Map is designed to help baby boomers answer questions such as, 'Do I have enough money to retire? Will I run out of money? How do I map out a retirement strategy? How will I know if I am staying on track? It is one of the first products available that helps advisors focus on the boomer marketplace and distribution planning, which is growing at an astonishing rate.

Calculating retirement resources is particularly challenging, as some information is provided as monthly income at retirement, and other information is in terms of investment or asset values today. Retirement Road Map calculates known retirement incomes, social security, pensions, annuities, etc., compares that to the retirement needs, and then calculates the value today necessary to make up the difference. As a result, there is a single number to compare to assets or investments. Impact makes complex calculations easy to understand so clients can make important decisions. Retirement Road Map shows a strategy for each year of retirement to assure predictable income while maximizing investments.

Needs and wants for each phase are defined in today’s dollars and compared to known sources of retirement income to determine how much will be required for the remaining needs. The amounts needed and their respective time horizons provide both a retirement distribution plan, as well as an allocation of retirement assets. Risk goes hand-in-hand with time horizons—the sooner the money is needed, the less risk the client should take.
