  3. What is RISK? • Risk is the potential that a chosen action or activity (including the choice of inaction) will lead to a loss (an undesirable outcome).  •  Potential losses themselves may also be called "risks". •  Almost any human endeavour carries some risk, but some are much more risky than others.

  4. Risks in Retirement • Retirement spend-down?  • Retirement planning? • There are many things that could go wrong even with a carefully planned retirement. . A recent Society of Actuaries survey of 804 people ages 45-80 identified greatest retirement concerns

  8. Failing to plan for a longer than average lifetime can lead to an underfunded retirement More than 6 in 10 underestimate their life expectancy •      -67% of retirees and 61% of pre-retirees underestimate •      -50% of people will live longer than the average life expectancy

  15. Best case scenario Vs. Worst case scenario • In conclusion, higher the return rate (investing in stocks, especially in small-cap market), the more risk involves. And vise versa. It is really hard to predict what most likely happen to one’s retirement plan when one retires, because it really depends on how one diversifies the portfolio. Moreover, the stock market can fluctuate dramatically. Letting the expert handle your plan will be the best solution, since they know better.
