However, other competing fixed income options have risen as well. How does this new environment reshape how we evaluate recommendations for our clients? We explore this topic and more with Michael Finke, Professor at The American College and David Blanchett, Head of Retirement Research at PGIM.

70
00:01:56,520 –> 00:01:56,862
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

71
00:01:56,594 –> 00:01:57,575
[david_blanchett]: is that we’re taking about

72
00:01:57,553 –> 00:01:57,574
[bruno_caron]: m

73
00:01:57,595 –> 00:02:01,402
[david_blanchett]: this before we started is just the
impact that the rise and bonyiels are having

74
00:02:01,582 –> 00:02:01,702
[david_blanchett]: on

75
00:02:01,666 –> 00:02:01,811
[paul_tyler]: yeah

76
00:02:02,163 –> 00:02:05,929
[david_blanchett]: products across the net landscape just because
you know if you think about the way

77
00:02:06,009 –> 00:02:08,313
[david_blanchett]: that a lot of these products are
built it’s built using

78
00:02:08,563 –> 00:02:09,643
[paul_tyler]: oh

79
00:02:08,634 –> 00:02:14,063
[david_blanchett]: bonils’there’s more there but so when we’ve
seen this dramatic rise and rates there’s just

80
00:02:14,203 –> 00:02:14,584
[paul_tyler]: yeah

81
00:02:14,363 –> 00:02:17,809
[david_blanchett]: dramatic improvement and change and kind of
the efficacy of products and so

82
00:02:18,219 –> 00:02:18,481
[paul_tyler]: yeah

83
00:02:18,290 –> 00:02:19,973
[david_blanchett]: i did a lot of research about
like

84
00:02:20,293 –> 00:02:20,579
[paul_tyler]: oh

85
00:02:20,553 –> 00:02:23,478
[david_blanchett]: riles and fees and just a whole
host of products last year it’s kind of

86
00:02:23,518 –> 00:02:26,523
[david_blanchett]: irrelevant now like i need a kind
of dust off everything i used to do

87
00:02:26,684 –> 00:02:30,710
[david_blanchett]: because like the marginal value of a
lot of these a lot of these products

88
00:02:30,931 –> 00:02:32,052
[david_blanchett]: issued by life insures

89
00:02:32,173 –> 00:02:32,421
[paul_tyler]: yeah

90
00:02:32,173 –> 00:02:33,835
[david_blanchett]: really have i think a lot

91
00:02:33,779 –> 00:02:33,799
[paul_tyler]: i

92
00:02:34,015 –> 00:02:35,417

00:02:35,518 –> 00:02:36,619
[david_blanchett]: sexyerethan he

95
00:02:36,634 –> 00:02:36,654
[paul_tyler]: i

96
00:02:36,679 –> 00:02:37,040
[david_blanchett]: were say

97
00:02:37,050 –> 00:02:37,890
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

98
00:02:37,220 –> 00:02:37,721
[david_blanchett]: even a year ago

99
00:02:38,563 –> 00:02:39,673
[paul_tyler]: yeah

100
00:02:39,860 –> 00:02:40,143
[ramsey_d_smith]: michael

101
00:02:40,239 –> 00:02:44,627
[michael_finke]: david let’s talk about fixed inexinuities because
this is something that i’ve

102
00:02:44,542 –> 00:02:44,785
[david_blanchett]: yeah

103
00:02:44,647 –> 00:02:46,350
[michael_finke]: been giving some thought to recently

104
00:02:46,363 –> 00:02:46,631
[paul_tyler]: oh

105
00:02:46,430 –> 00:02:50,997
[michael_finke]: and that is that you and i
have boated on research on fa basically the

106
00:02:51,077 –> 00:02:53,606
[michael_finke]: long term for or man resembles

107
00:02:53,263 –> 00:02:54,883
[paul_tyler]: yeah

108
00:02:53,707 –> 00:02:55,615
[michael_finke]: that of a corporate

109
00:02:55,620 –> 00:02:56,340
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

110
00:02:55,655 –> 00:02:55,956
[michael_finke]: bond

111
00:02:56,173 –> 00:02:57,013
[paul_tyler]: yeah

112
00:02:56,749 –> 00:03:00,479
[michael_finke]: over time it is we both have
discussed the fact that he is are in

113
00:03:00,539 –> 00:03:06,983
[michael_finke]: some sense like a bond substitute within
a portfolio this year really illustrated a unique

114
00:03:07,183 –> 00:03:09,988
[michael_finke]: aspect of f but i don’t think
people really

115
00:03:10,003 –> 00:03:10,264
[paul_tyler]: yeah

116
00:03:10,148 –> 00:03:14,576
[michael_finke]: have given enough thought to and that
is that although they

117
00:03:14,670 –> 00:03:15,330
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

118
00:03:14,716 –> 00:03:20,484
[michael_finke]: capture much of that term premium and
a little bit of the credit premium over

119
00:03:20,644 –> 00:03:26,823
[michael_finke]: time that you would get from corporate
bonds they don’t suffer the same losses the

120
00:03:26,904 –> 00:03:31,251
[michael_finke]: corporate bond suffer so let’s just take
a moment and reflect on how well for

121
00:03:31,311 –> 00:03:31,732
[michael_finke]: example

122
00:03:31,350 –> 00:03:32,220
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

123
00:03:32,252 –> 00:03:33,735
[michael_finke]: the long term corporate

124
00:03:33,793 –> 00:03:33,994
[paul_tyler]: yeah

125
00:03:34,196 –> 00:03:36,620
[michael_finke]: bond van guard f has

126
00:03:36,562 –> 00:03:36,682
[paul_tyler]: yeah

127
00:03:36,720 –> 00:03:38,523
[michael_finke]: done in two thousand twenty two if

128
00:03:38,533 –> 00:03:39,823
[paul_tyler]: yeah

129
00:03:38,583 –> 00:03:42,510
[michael_finke]: at the very beginning of the year
you decided hey interestrats are really low i’m

130
00:03:42,550 –> 00:03:45,294
[michael_finke]: going to try to eke out a
little bit of extra return for my bond

131
00:03:45,103 –> 00:03:45,424
[paul_tyler]: oh

132
00:03:45,354 –> 00:03:50,046
[michael_finke]: portfolio by taking term risk maybe also
gonna take a little bit of credit risk

133
00:03:50,899 –> 00:03:55,172
[michael_finke]: down thirty per cent in fact that
t f is down down more than thirty

134
00:03:55,212 –> 00:03:56,596
[michael_finke]: per cent and two thousand twenty two

135
00:03:57,073 –> 00:03:57,823
[paul_tyler]: yeah

136
00:03:57,950 –> 00:03:58,211
[michael_finke]: if you

137
00:03:58,183 –> 00:03:58,426
[paul_tyler]: yeah

138
00:03:58,291 –> 00:04:04,848
[michael_finke]: had instead decided to use a tea
as a bond alternative the guarantee would have

139
00:04:04,929 –> 00:04:10,429
[michael_finke]: looked similar to the expected return on
those bond t f but

140
00:04:10,453 –> 00:04:11,473
[paul_tyler]: yeah

141
00:04:10,710 –> 00:04:15,137
[michael_finke]: you have that principal protection aspect now
why is it that you get the principal

142
00:04:15,217 –> 00:04:16,099
[michael_finke]: protection aspect

143
00:04:16,089 –> 00:04:16,110
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

144
00:04:16,519 –> 00:04:20,846
[michael_finke]: well the insurance company is investing in
those bonds and so the insurance

145
00:04:20,653 –> 00:04:21,583
[paul_tyler]: oh

146
00:04:20,887 –> 00:04:25,921
[michael_finke]: company in its general count has experienced
a mark to market loss in that

147
00:04:25,835 –> 00:04:25,936
[paul_tyler]: as

148
00:04:25,981 –> 00:04:26,984

[paul_tyler]: yeah

152
00:04:29,310 –> 00:04:29,911

00:04:33,840 –> 00:04:34,530
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

156
00:04:34,138 –> 00:04:37,183

160
00:04:43,413 –> 00:04:46,298

162
00:04:46,799 –> 00:04:50,004
[michael_finke]: and not transfer it to you as
the holder of the fixed in

163
00:04:50,002 –> 00:04:50,185
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

164
00:04:50,145 –> 00:04:54,012
[michael_finke]: extenuity that is a significant portfoli o
benefit and incorporating f

165
00:04:53,992 –> 00:04:54,480
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

166
00:04:54,293 –> 00:04:59,786
[michael_finke]: s versus using um you know using
them as a substitute for longer duration bonds

167
00:04:59,826 –> 00:05:00,427
[michael_finke]: than a portfolio

168
00:05:04,223 –> 00:05:06,367
[paul_tyler]: yeah it’s been i will tell you
this has been

169
00:05:06,272 –> 00:05:06,353
[michael_finke]: it

170
00:05:06,274 –> 00:05:06,575
[bruno_caron]: oh

171
00:05:06,407 –> 00:05:08,971
[paul_tyler]: a wild ride and even if i
looked at you

172
00:05:08,910 –> 00:05:09,630
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

173
00:05:08,991 –> 00:05:09,472
[paul_tyler]: know what was the

174
00:05:09,398 –> 00:05:09,458
[bruno_caron]: ay

175
00:05:09,512 –> 00:05:10,554
[paul_tyler]: story the first or second

176
00:05:10,320 –> 00:05:10,581
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

177
00:05:10,614 –> 00:05:11,916
[paul_tyler]: quarter versus third and fourth

178
00:05:11,769 –> 00:05:11,790
[ramsey_d_smith]: h

179
00:05:12,016 –> 00:05:17,125
[paul_tyler]: you know david michel has been so
different you know a lot of a lot

180
00:05:17,145 –> 00:05:23,355
[paul_tyler]: of products put in as you know
low volatility industries sort of do even the

181
00:05:23,395 –> 00:05:27,502
[paul_tyler]: best or the best hey we’re goin
t give you a steady return or better

182
00:05:27,823 –> 00:05:32,651
[paul_tyler]: then the market over a period of
time and not provide those bumps now of

183
00:05:32,731 –> 00:05:38,821
[paul_tyler]: course the markets were very be very
differently you know in the last eighteen eighteen

184
00:05:38,881 –> 00:05:43,048
[paul_tyler]: months going into sort of first or
second quarter because the most volatile stocks were

185
00:05:43,088 –> 00:05:47,896
[paul_tyler]: the ones that were producing biggest returns
they were taking out a lot of these

186
00:05:48,036 –> 00:05:53,544
[paul_tyler]: these ball control so i personally took
a lot calls and chats from from clients

187
00:05:53,604 –> 00:05:56,547
[paul_tyler]: who started to look at the statement
he said wait a second s m p

188
00:05:56,708 –> 00:05:59,691
[paul_tyler]: s gone up this much and this
much you’re only giving me this much and

189
00:05:59,751 –> 00:06:03,436
[paul_tyler]: we’re all sort of rubbing our hands
together saying what are we going to do

190
00:06:03,556 –> 00:06:09,907
[paul_tyler]: now the minute the market crashed michael
those calls stopped and in fact i know

191
00:06:09,886 –> 00:06:10,470
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

192
00:06:09,987 –> 00:06:13,432
[paul_tyler]: go on a bike ride and find
somebody i know from a long time ago

193
00:06:13,553 –> 00:06:15,117
[paul_tyler]: says paul i love my annuity

194
00:06:16,590 –> 00:06:16,610
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

195
00:06:16,941 –> 00:06:21,953
[paul_tyler]: i love my annuity of the market
going down so it really has reenforced huge

196
00:06:22,354 –> 00:06:27,422
[paul_tyler]: you know part of the value prop
of a fixed and eccinuity i guess my

197
00:06:27,543 –> 00:06:28,905
[paul_tyler]: question will be is this temporary

198
00:06:28,569 –> 00:06:28,590
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

199
00:06:29,266 –> 00:06:31,770
[paul_tyler]: or is this you know a more
permanent shift than how

200
00:06:31,749 –> 00:06:31,770
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

201
00:06:31,850 –> 00:06:32,972
[paul_tyler]: people are looking at these products

202
00:06:35,883 –> 00:06:35,923
[ramsey_d_smith]: i

203
00:06:35,895 –> 00:06:36,076
[paul_tyler]: david

204
00:06:35,964 –> 00:06:36,064
[ramsey_d_smith]: mean

205
00:06:36,137 –> 00:06:36,298
[paul_tyler]: what’s

206
00:06:36,266 –> 00:06:36,366
[ramsey_d_smith]: what

207
00:06:36,318 –> 00:06:36,439
[paul_tyler]: your

208
00:06:36,407 –> 00:06:36,568
[ramsey_d_smith]: do you

209
00:06:36,580 –> 00:06:38,032
[paul_tyler]: what’s your yeah

210
00:06:37,172 –> 00:06:37,393
[ramsey_d_smith]: go ahead

211
00:06:38,552 –> 00:06:40,455
[david_blanchett]: i think it depends upon where rates
headed you know

212
00:06:40,560 –> 00:06:41,280
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

213
00:06:40,856 –> 00:06:42,438
[david_blanchett]: i have have no clue if you
told me

214
00:06:42,395 –> 00:06:42,476
[paul_tyler]: the

215
00:06:42,518 –> 00:06:44,722
[david_blanchett]: we’d have rats where they are right
now a year ago i would have laughed

216
00:06:44,742 –> 00:06:44,902
[david_blanchett]: in your

217
00:06:44,873 –> 00:06:45,034
[paul_tyler]: yeah

218
00:06:44,943 –> 00:06:47,687
[david_blanchett]: face like that’s that’s absurd i think
that the one thing that i think is

219
00:06:47,747 –> 00:06:50,832
[david_blanchett]: interesting right now is this is to
michael’s point is like people are

220
00:06:50,773 –> 00:06:50,995
[paul_tyler]: oh

221
00:06:50,872 –> 00:06:52,615
[david_blanchett]: really negative about surrender penalties and

222
00:06:52,633 –> 00:06:54,673
[paul_tyler]: oh

223
00:06:52,655 –> 00:06:56,822
[david_blanchett]: things like that well insures are as
long as the insure can hold those bonds

224
00:06:56,842 –> 00:06:56,943
[david_blanchett]: that

225
00:06:56,880 –> 00:06:57,122
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

226
00:06:56,983 –> 00:06:58,806
[david_blanchett]: they use to hedge he risk to

227
00:06:58,830 –> 00:06:59,012
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

228
00:06:58,866 –> 00:07:00,649
[david_blanchett]: maturity that’s okay right

229
00:07:00,810 –> 00:07:01,470
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

230
00:07:00,869 –> 00:07:04,535
[david_blanchett]: are like like you know enders we
they’rerally not like they allow individuals to

231
00:07:04,680 –> 00:07:04,700
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

232
00:07:04,756 –> 00:07:06,218
[david_blanchett]: have access to certain premiums

233
00:07:05,833 –> 00:07:08,293
[paul_tyler]: yeah

234
00:07:06,238 –> 00:07:07,079
[david_blanchett]: they couldn’t access

235
00:07:06,840 –> 00:07:06,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

236
00:07:07,180 –> 00:07:10,485
[david_blanchett]: otherwise so know michael is talking about
fixing news what about

237
00:07:10,488 –> 00:07:10,508
[paul_tyler]: i

238
00:07:10,525 –> 00:07:13,710
[david_blanchett]: a mica i mean a mica is
just like a bond that you know maybe

239
00:07:13,891 –> 00:07:15,133
[david_blanchett]: s offering or four percent

240
00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:15,203
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

241
00:07:15,473 –> 00:07:18,418
[david_blanchett]: it didn’t get marked to market so
i think that you know a lot of

242
00:07:18,438 –> 00:07:22,926
[david_blanchett]: the aspects people might not like love
about annuities historically are really maybe going to

243
00:07:22,986 –> 00:07:26,532
[david_blanchett]: change i hope we’re in a a
longer rate environment for ever becase it’s a

244
00:07:26,572 –> 00:07:29,640
[david_blanchett]: lot of a lot of really cool
products lot of interesting

245
00:07:29,419 –> 00:07:29,522
[michael_finke]: ye

246
00:07:29,660 –> 00:07:32,247
[david_blanchett]: innovation moving forward that we wouldn’t have
if we’re in a lower ate environment

247
00:07:33,558 –> 00:07:34,139
[bruno_caron]: hey while we’re on

248
00:07:34,189 –> 00:07:34,370
[michael_finke]: yeah

249
00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:37,144
[bruno_caron]: that topic david can you discuss a
little bit about

250
00:07:38,124 –> 00:07:38,306
[paul_tyler]: yeah

251
00:07:38,427 –> 00:07:39,268
[bruno_caron]: the value of

252
00:07:39,883 –> 00:07:40,107
[paul_tyler]: yes

253
00:07:40,370 –> 00:07:45,399
[bruno_caron]: the lifetime income features on every single
one of those vehicles and the impact that

254
00:07:45,419 –> 00:07:46,602
[bruno_caron]: the market has had on

255
00:07:47,389 –> 00:07:47,632
[michael_finke]: oh

256
00:07:47,704 –> 00:07:50,951
[bruno_caron]: those particular on those particular writers and
benefits

257
00:07:52,133 –> 00:07:56,640
[david_blanchett]: so it’s complicated right so i think
that like certain certain annuities that provide live

258
00:07:56,660 –> 00:08:00,046
[david_blanchett]: time income more market responsive so like
sp is i’ve got a piece

259
00:07:59,983 –> 00:08:00,344
[paul_tyler]: yeah

260
00:08:00,066 –> 00:08:03,511
[david_blanchett]: of research in working rghtnowcanact you know
like looking at like how pay out rat

261
00:08:03,652 –> 00:08:05,795
[david_blanchett]: fespesandds evolve over time like

262
00:08:05,683 –> 00:08:05,931
[paul_tyler]: yes

263
00:08:05,855 –> 00:08:06,697
[david_blanchett]: very market responsive

264
00:08:06,313 –> 00:08:06,613
[paul_tyler]: yeah

265
00:08:06,757 –> 00:08:10,042
[david_blanchett]: right you know other products maybe a
little bit less but like collectively it should

266
00:08:10,062 –> 00:08:12,486
[david_blanchett]: all go up now what’s interesting about
about the

267
00:08:12,523 –> 00:08:13,213
[paul_tyler]: yeah

268
00:08:12,547 –> 00:08:16,894
[david_blanchett]: value of guaranteed income is that it
actually it’s worth the higher interest rates are

269
00:08:16,934 –> 00:08:21,642
[david_blanchett]: versus self annuitizing right because you can
actually generate more income from just holding tips

270
00:08:21,702 –> 00:08:24,526
[david_blanchett]: today just for example right but the
thing is i think that that

271
00:08:24,529 –> 00:08:24,714
[michael_finke]: yes

272
00:08:24,587 –> 00:08:29,475
[david_blanchett]: is actually outweighed by the behavioral benefit
that you get today from buying annuities that

273
00:08:29,655 –> 00:08:31,799
[david_blanchett]: pay out much higher i think a
lot of people were saying i’m going to

274
00:08:31,859 –> 00:08:35,044
[david_blanchett]: wait to buy an annuity until rates
are higher you know when michael and i

275
00:08:35,084 –> 00:08:38,049
[david_blanchett]: were telling everyone is telling a story
they’re actually worth more when rates are lower

276
00:08:38,410 –> 00:08:41,415
[david_blanchett]: no one could buy them but i
think now we have actually entered a space

277
00:08:41,475 –> 00:08:42,356
[david_blanchett]: where technically

278
00:08:41,940 –> 00:08:42,142
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

279
00:08:42,497 –> 00:08:47,486
[david_blanchett]: technically the value of the guarantee is
less but there’s less behavioral barriers to actually

280
00:08:47,586 –> 00:08:51,862
[david_blanchett]: buy the annuity because because payorachare is
so much more attractive ye

281
00:08:51,240 –> 00:08:51,930
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

282
00:08:53,530 –> 00:08:54,531
[michael_finke]: i mean the other aspect

283
00:08:54,595 –> 00:08:54,695
[ramsey_d_smith]: no

284
00:08:54,912 –> 00:08:58,959
[michael_finke]: bruno is if you would have retired
as a lot of people did at the

285
00:08:59,039 –> 00:09:00,341
[michael_finke]: end of two thousand twenty one

286
00:09:00,463 –> 00:09:00,978
[paul_tyler]: ye

287
00:09:00,601 –> 00:09:02,224
[michael_finke]: and you had some sort of a
lifetime

288
00:09:02,283 –> 00:09:02,465
[paul_tyler]: yeah

289
00:09:02,324 –> 00:09:03,366
[michael_finke]: income benefit

290
00:09:03,433 –> 00:09:05,323
[paul_tyler]: yeah

291
00:09:04,027 –> 00:09:05,329
[michael_finke]: on a variable note product

292
00:09:05,563 –> 00:09:05,885
[paul_tyler]: oh

293
00:09:05,690 –> 00:09:05,930
[michael_finke]: then

294
00:09:06,810 –> 00:09:07,355
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

295
00:09:07,092 –> 00:09:09,575
[michael_finke]: imagine someone who didn’t have that benefit

296
00:09:09,450 –> 00:09:09,573
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

297
00:09:10,056 –> 00:09:10,517
[michael_finke]: how they would

298
00:09:10,543 –> 00:09:11,323
[paul_tyler]: yeah

299
00:09:10,577 –> 00:09:12,870
[michael_finke]: be thinking about what to withdraw

300
00:09:13,003 –> 00:09:13,843
[paul_tyler]: yeah

301
00:09:13,050 –> 00:09:16,095
[michael_finke]: from their investment tooartfolio over the course
of two thousand twenty

302
00:09:15,943 –> 00:09:16,603
[paul_tyler]: yeah

303
00:09:16,176 –> 00:09:16,316
[michael_finke]: two

304
00:09:17,053 –> 00:09:17,356
[paul_tyler]: oh

305
00:09:17,077 –> 00:09:20,623
[michael_finke]: if their investments are down by twenty
per cent and they have already been

306
00:09:20,623 –> 00:09:21,313
[paul_tyler]: yeah

307
00:09:20,683 –> 00:09:22,246
[michael_finke]: withdrawing save a million dollar

308
00:09:22,063 –> 00:09:22,753
[paul_tyler]: oh

309
00:09:22,326 –> 00:09:26,358
[michael_finke]: portfolio you started with a million box
you know maybe now you

310
00:09:26,400 –> 00:09:26,721
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

311
00:09:26,418 –> 00:09:30,841
[michael_finke]: have seven hundred and seventy five thousand
dollars maybe laugh you hoped that you could

312
00:09:30,921 –> 00:09:33,425
[michael_finke]: withdraw fifty thousand dollars a year from
your million dollar

313
00:09:33,210 –> 00:09:34,260
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

314
00:09:33,465 –> 00:09:39,776
[michael_finke]: portfolio now you’re significantly lower the risk
of withdrawing that fifty thousand dollars a year

315
00:09:39,916 –> 00:09:43,582
[michael_finke]: is significantly higher than it was at
the beginning of the year will you cut

316
00:09:43,682 –> 00:09:47,449
[michael_finke]: back well you go back now to
forty five thousand or forty thousand dollars thanks

317
00:09:47,569 –> 00:09:50,073
[michael_finke]: the true risk of not having that
income benefit

318
00:09:49,980 –> 00:09:50,221
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

319
00:09:50,133 –> 00:09:51,175
[michael_finke]: if you have the income benefit

320
00:09:50,893 –> 00:09:51,216
[paul_tyler]: yeah

321
00:09:51,215 –> 00:09:52,798
[michael_finke]: you know have to worry about it
i’m just going to

322
00:09:52,813 –> 00:09:53,115
[paul_tyler]: oh

323
00:09:52,838 –> 00:09:53,178
[michael_finke]: keep with

324
00:09:53,280 –> 00:09:53,502
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

325
00:09:53,539 –> 00:09:57,240
[michael_finke]: fifty thousand dollars from that investment portfolio
in the face

326
00:09:57,103 –> 00:09:57,431
[paul_tyler]: yeah

327
00:09:57,380 –> 00:10:02,388
[michael_finke]: of whatever head head wins i’m you
know experiencing all investors are experiencing and

328
00:10:02,328 –> 00:10:02,492
[paul_tyler]: yes

329
00:10:02,448 –> 00:10:06,295
[michael_finke]: it may mean that i deplete my
account faster but that’s okay that’s what that

330
00:10:06,335 –> 00:10:09,400
[michael_finke]: money is there for and that’s why
i also think it’s in ably important at

331
00:10:09,420 –> 00:10:13,787
[michael_finke]: the beginning of retirement to establish how
much of your portfolio you want to use

332
00:10:13,847 –> 00:10:17,694
[michael_finke]: for life style because then you don’t
feel bad about the fact that you’ve depleted

333
00:10:17,734 –> 00:10:20,759
[michael_finke]: the account if you have a lifetime
income benefit it’s just part of the did

334
00:10:20,819 –> 00:10:24,266
[michael_finke]: you and the question is you know
if you’re not you don’t have that then

335
00:10:24,327 –> 00:10:28,295
[michael_finke]: if it what does that imply in
terms of life style volatility

336
00:10:28,140 –> 00:10:28,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

337
00:10:28,355 –> 00:10:29,558
[michael_finke]: you have to be very flexible

338
00:10:31,744 –> 00:10:32,625
[bruno_caron]: i mean that makes

339
00:10:32,940 –> 00:10:33,223
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

340
00:10:33,006 –> 00:10:36,011
[bruno_caron]: a lot of sense i mean the
two of you have very vocal on the

341
00:10:36,331 –> 00:10:43,303
[bruno_caron]: sequence of return risk which is basically
what you just what you just explain how

342
00:10:43,804 –> 00:10:49,009
[bruno_caron]: how should you new retires view this
this risk in the light

343
00:10:49,050 –> 00:10:49,393
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

344
00:10:49,169 –> 00:10:51,912
[bruno_caron]: of you know this new economical context

345
00:10:53,646 –> 00:10:53,727
[paul_tyler]: ah

346
00:10:54,562 –> 00:10:56,766
[david_blanchett]: well i think we’ll be able to
take the answer to that about thirty years

347
00:10:56,806 –> 00:10:57,047
[david_blanchett]: from now

348
00:10:57,013 –> 00:10:57,617
[paul_tyler]: uh

349
00:10:57,087 –> 00:10:57,688
[david_blanchett]: right i think that there’s

350
00:10:57,630 –> 00:10:57,650
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

351
00:10:57,708 –> 00:10:58,208
[david_blanchett]: been a lot of great

352
00:10:58,222 –> 00:10:58,243
[paul_tyler]: h

353
00:10:58,269 –> 00:10:58,549
[david_blanchett]: studies

354
00:10:58,375 –> 00:10:58,537
[bruno_caron]: that’s

355
00:10:58,609 –> 00:11:00,352
[david_blanchett]: done using historical long term talking about

356
00:11:00,309 –> 00:11:00,330
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

357
00:11:00,372 –> 00:11:00,612
[david_blanchett]: you know

358
00:11:00,635 –> 00:11:00,817
[bruno_caron]: hello

359
00:11:00,660 –> 00:11:00,964
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

360
00:11:00,853 –> 00:11:01,933
[paul_tyler]: oh

361
00:11:00,973 –> 00:11:03,557
[david_blanchett]: i mean here’s the man we don’t
know we don’t know where markets

362
00:11:03,390 –> 00:11:04,080
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

363
00:11:03,597 –> 00:11:05,841
[david_blanchett]: are head i en maybe michael does
because he’s like really smart

364
00:11:06,106 –> 00:11:06,127
[paul_tyler]: i

365
00:11:06,282 –> 00:11:06,643
[david_blanchett]: i don’t know

366
00:11:06,604 –> 00:11:07,027
[bruno_caron]: oh

367
00:11:06,853 –> 00:11:07,843
[paul_tyler]: oh

368
00:11:07,023 –> 00:11:07,925
[david_blanchett]: and so what if this is just

369
00:11:07,933 –> 00:11:07,954
[bruno_caron]: h

370
00:11:07,965 –> 00:11:08,926
[david_blanchett]: the beginning what if what if

371
00:11:09,013 –> 00:11:09,613
[paul_tyler]: yeah

372
00:11:09,027 –> 00:11:10,249
[david_blanchett]: equities just go down for a

373
00:11:10,303 –> 00:11:11,476
[paul_tyler]: ye

374
00:11:10,309 –> 00:11:12,953
[david_blanchett]: decade right like this literally could be
the

375
00:11:13,119 –> 00:11:13,140
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

376
00:11:13,133 –> 00:11:17,320
[david_blanchett]: perfect post your child for sequence risk
and that bonds are down stocks are down

377
00:11:17,380 –> 00:11:21,247
[david_blanchett]: inflations of can’t pick a worse environment
like okay there’ve been periods where

378
00:11:20,970 –> 00:11:21,990
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

379
00:11:21,688 –> 00:11:25,374
[david_blanchett]: sixty forty portfolio does has done worse
but it’s hard to find an environment where

380
00:11:25,474 –> 00:11:28,018
[david_blanchett]: inflation has been where it is right
now and stocks

381
00:11:27,819 –> 00:11:27,840
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

382
00:11:28,058 –> 00:11:29,601
[david_blanchett]: and bonds are both down so i
think that

383
00:11:29,893 –> 00:11:30,787
[paul_tyler]: yeah

384
00:11:30,442 –> 00:11:33,067
[david_blanchett]: to me one thing i have to
this is kind of a check i think

385
00:11:33,107 –> 00:11:34,128
[david_blanchett]: for a lot of retires

386
00:11:34,153 –> 00:11:35,293
[paul_tyler]: yeah

387
00:11:34,208 –> 00:11:36,472
[david_blanchett]: where you know maybe if you haven’t
enjoyed

388
00:11:36,211 –> 00:11:36,354
[michael_finke]: yes

389
00:11:36,512 –> 00:11:39,778
[david_blanchett]: your experience so far things would always
get worse i’m not convinced that you

390
00:11:39,779 –> 00:11:39,800
[paul_tyler]: a

391
00:11:39,818 –> 00:11:42,582
[david_blanchett]: know normally i would say we’ll stay
the course but i don’t know only i

392
00:11:42,623 –> 00:11:42,883
[david_blanchett]: do know

393
00:11:42,819 –> 00:11:42,840
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

394
00:11:42,923 –> 00:11:44,826
[david_blanchett]: is that you know if you’re an
advisor out there listening

395
00:11:44,940 –> 00:11:45,247
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

396
00:11:45,227 –> 00:11:47,230
[david_blanchett]: you’ve got clients that have not enjoyed
you know

397
00:11:47,113 –> 00:11:47,863
[paul_tyler]: yeah

398
00:11:47,330 –> 00:11:50,876
[david_blanchett]: twenty twenty two so far maybe it’s
time to ask this question well is it

399
00:11:50,936 –> 00:11:52,819
[david_blanchett]: worth insuring part of what’s left

400
00:11:53,217 –> 00:11:53,237
[paul_tyler]: a

401
00:11:53,260 –> 00:11:58,249
[david_blanchett]: to insure things you get worse that
my clients have locked in now today a

402
00:11:58,309 –> 00:12:00,172
[david_blanchett]: lot higher income right so there is
this effect

403
00:11:59,893 –> 00:12:00,973
[paul_tyler]: oh

404
00:12:00,212 –> 00:12:01,314
[david_blanchett]: where if you buy bonds you

405
00:12:01,273 –> 00:12:01,963
[paul_tyler]: yeah

406
00:12:01,374 –> 00:12:01,835
[david_blanchett]: kind of hedge

407
00:12:01,680 –> 00:12:01,944
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

408
00:12:01,895 –> 00:12:05,360
[david_blanchett]: the income and that when bonds go
down interest payots go up

409
00:12:05,985 –> 00:12:06,086
[paul_tyler]: ah

410
00:12:06,202 –> 00:12:07,964
[david_blanchett]: now as the time it’s worth reassessing

411
00:12:07,874 –> 00:12:08,035
[paul_tyler]: yeah

412
00:12:08,925 –> 00:12:10,788
[david_blanchett]: is a investment driven strategy working

413
00:12:10,825 –> 00:12:11,736
[paul_tyler]: yeah

414
00:12:10,948 –> 00:12:12,870

[ramsey_d_smith]: n

441
00:12:45,336 –> 00:12:45,356
[michael_finke]: a

442
00:12:45,344 –> 00:12:45,364
[ramsey_d_smith]: a

443
00:12:45,396 –> 00:12:45,719
[michael_finke]: week and a

444
00:12:45,705 –> 00:12:45,865
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

445
00:12:45,779 –> 00:12:46,202
[michael_finke]: half ago

446
00:12:47,108 –> 00:12:47,228
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

447
00:12:47,709 –> 00:12:53,347
[michael_finke]: i presented two presentations at napa which
is a fee only adviser conference

448
00:12:53,361 –> 00:12:53,482
[ramsey_d_smith]: yep

449
00:12:54,109 –> 00:12:59,202
[michael_finke]: i presented at napa maybe four years
ago i had some similar messageting in both

450
00:12:59,262 –> 00:13:03,630
[michael_finke]: presentations and i will tell you there
has been a sea change and openness towards

451
00:13:03,710 –> 00:13:05,633
[michael_finke]: the use of annuities among

452
00:13:05,652 –> 00:13:05,672
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

453
00:13:06,013 –> 00:13:06,474
[michael_finke]: fee only

454
00:13:06,459 –> 00:13:06,480
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

455
00:13:06,594 –> 00:13:08,518
[michael_finke]: advisers there’s an increasing

456
00:13:08,109 –> 00:13:08,130
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

457
00:13:08,598 –> 00:13:11,683
[michael_finke]: recogna and that if they’re going to
be a fiduciary they at least have to

458
00:13:11,723 –> 00:13:14,668
[michael_finke]: consider the use of annuities it’s not
just something that they can

459
00:13:14,739 –> 00:13:14,760
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

460
00:13:14,748 –> 00:13:19,055
[michael_finke]: exclude and feel like they’re always going
to be making a decision in the benefit

461
00:13:19,376 –> 00:13:24,524
[michael_finke]: of the client by exclude inganuities um
you know and then i also see statements

462
00:13:24,805 –> 00:13:30,194
[michael_finke]: such as i was just going on
line to a certain famous investment advisors site

463
00:13:30,715 –> 00:13:31,316
[michael_finke]: and he had

464
00:13:31,200 –> 00:13:31,441
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

465
00:13:31,376 –> 00:13:36,431
[michael_finke]: to quote on his site that there’s
nothing that you can do with annuities that

466
00:13:36,591 –> 00:13:39,922
[michael_finke]: i can’t do with investments and there
is not

467
00:13:39,962 –> 00:13:40,063
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

468
00:13:39,982 –> 00:13:44,496
[michael_finke]: a single economist who studies retirement income
planning who would agree with that state and

469
00:13:44,473 –> 00:13:44,696
[paul_tyler]: yeah

470
00:13:44,557 –> 00:13:45,910
[michael_finke]: it’s just demonstrably

471
00:13:45,343 –> 00:13:45,666
[paul_tyler]: yeah

472
00:13:45,789 –> 00:13:45,810
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

473
00:13:46,030 –> 00:13:46,390
[michael_finke]: false

474
00:13:46,736 –> 00:13:46,837
[paul_tyler]: it

475
00:13:47,152 –> 00:13:48,213
[michael_finke]: that attitude

476
00:13:47,944 –> 00:13:48,144
[bruno_caron]: yeah

477
00:13:48,514 –> 00:13:49,175
[michael_finke]: pervaded

478
00:13:49,355 –> 00:13:49,436
[paul_tyler]: ah

479
00:13:49,456 –> 00:13:49,736
[michael_finke]: i think

480
00:13:49,950 –> 00:13:50,191
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

481
00:13:50,197 –> 00:13:50,279
[paul_tyler]: ah

482
00:13:50,437 –> 00:13:50,998
[michael_finke]: this industry

483
00:13:50,743 –> 00:13:54,253
[paul_tyler]: yeah

484
00:13:51,078 –> 00:13:52,661
[michael_finke]: in many cases especially with the only

485
00:13:52,663 –> 00:13:52,804
[bruno_caron]: yeah

486
00:13:52,741 –> 00:13:56,487
[michael_finke]: industry that attitude has gone away as
far as i am concerned you know i’m

487
00:13:56,527 –> 00:14:00,254
[michael_finke]: not giving these intations i’m seeing a
new level of open it and it is

488
00:14:00,514 –> 00:14:04,140
[michael_finke]: really reassuring to see i think you
know both david and i come from a

489
00:14:04,220 –> 00:14:06,203
[michael_finke]: background where we have

490
00:14:06,043 –> 00:14:06,853
[paul_tyler]: yeah

491
00:14:06,324 –> 00:14:09,229
[michael_finke]: worked with investment advisors who are compensated

492
00:14:09,241 –> 00:14:09,302
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

493
00:14:09,309 –> 00:14:10,811
[michael_finke]: they on sieve we do

494
00:14:10,869 –> 00:14:10,890
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

495
00:14:10,891 –> 00:14:16,120
[michael_finke]: have a very fiduciary mind set the
word but we want to make sure that

496
00:14:16,441 –> 00:14:20,307
[michael_finke]: when advisors are making decisions that they’re
making decisions that are going to be in

497
00:14:20,347 –> 00:14:24,193
[michael_finke]: the best interest of it clint and
we’ve been arguing obviously for a long time

498
00:14:24,274 –> 00:14:26,016
[michael_finke]: that getting rid of this ideosandcradic

499
00:14:25,693 –> 00:14:26,773
[paul_tyler]: yeah

500
00:14:26,157 –> 00:14:30,223
[michael_finke]: engevity risk is an important part of
retirement income planning people can live better if

501
00:14:30,264 –> 00:14:36,212
[michael_finke]: they do it that way i’m seeing
a change frankly it’s reassuring and it’s great

502
00:14:36,293 –> 00:14:39,897
[michael_finke]: that the message is getting out there
but it’s also a message that needs to

503
00:14:39,957 –> 00:14:45,822
[michael_finke]: be couch and it’s something that you
know i think the insurance industry and i’m

504
00:14:45,862 –> 00:14:46,744
[michael_finke]: sure we’ve talked

505
00:14:46,634 –> 00:14:48,853
[paul_tyler]: right

506
00:14:46,784 –> 00:14:50,211
[michael_finke]: about this in the past but to
the extent that there can

507
00:14:50,203 –> 00:14:52,843
[paul_tyler]: yeah

508
00:14:50,272 –> 00:14:54,479
[michael_finke]: be consistency in terms of sale practices
and messaging

509
00:14:54,330 –> 00:14:54,651
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

510
00:14:54,939 –> 00:14:56,422
[michael_finke]: i’m also seeing in the insurance

511
00:14:56,370 –> 00:14:56,573
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

512
00:14:56,462 –> 00:15:00,128
[michael_finke]: industry that they are hiring people who
deal with these types of advisors who are

513
00:15:00,168 –> 00:15:05,617
[michael_finke]: really or on how to use annuity
product efficiently for a client but i think

514
00:15:05,637 –> 00:15:12,088
[michael_finke]: that the industry as a whole really
has harmed itself in many ways by not

515
00:15:12,228 –> 00:15:16,033
[michael_finke]: rain and some of the more abusive
sales practices that we continue to see and

516
00:15:16,694 –> 00:15:19,738
[michael_finke]: it’s going to continue to color people’s
impressions of the industry

517
00:15:21,113 –> 00:15:23,698
[david_blanchett]: i mean so i would say i’m
seeing this as michael and

518
00:15:23,803 –> 00:15:24,063
[paul_tyler]: oh

519
00:15:23,818 –> 00:15:24,880
[david_blanchett]: the one point that i make to

520
00:15:24,832 –> 00:15:24,933
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

521
00:15:25,501 –> 00:15:26,302
[david_blanchett]: people when i talk about

522
00:15:26,494 –> 00:15:27,394
[bruno_caron]: yeah

523
00:15:26,502 –> 00:15:26,663
[david_blanchett]: anne

524
00:15:26,520 –> 00:15:26,932
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

525
00:15:26,593 –> 00:15:26,834
[paul_tyler]: yeah

526
00:15:26,763 –> 00:15:28,145
[david_blanchett]: use is like i’m not suggesting that

527
00:15:28,204 –> 00:15:28,466
[bruno_caron]: oh

528
00:15:28,205 –> 00:15:28,566
[david_blanchett]: all of your

529
00:15:28,620 –> 00:15:29,490
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

530
00:15:28,626 –> 00:15:29,868
[david_blanchett]: clients need an annuity

531
00:15:29,944 –> 00:15:30,145
[bruno_caron]: yeah

532
00:15:29,948 –> 00:15:31,471
[david_blanchett]: or maybe it’s less than like five
percent

533
00:15:31,723 –> 00:15:32,353
[paul_tyler]: oh

534
00:15:31,751 –> 00:15:33,274
[david_blanchett]: but it’s not zero and i think
that far

535
00:15:33,278 –> 00:15:33,298
[paul_tyler]: i

536
00:15:33,374 –> 00:15:34,295
[david_blanchett]: too many advisors

537
00:15:33,973 –> 00:15:35,173
[paul_tyler]: oh

538
00:15:34,396 –> 00:15:37,621
[david_blanchett]: that are doing retirement income planning is

539
00:15:37,560 –> 00:15:37,844
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

540
00:15:38,142 –> 00:15:38,222
[david_blanchett]: the

541
00:15:38,224 –> 00:15:38,944
[bruno_caron]: oh

542
00:15:38,282 –> 00:15:39,163
[david_blanchett]: number of their clients

543
00:15:39,060 –> 00:15:40,470
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

544
00:15:39,184 –> 00:15:41,748
[david_blanchett]: that have any kind of product that
provides guaranteed lifetime

545
00:15:41,533 –> 00:15:41,793
[paul_tyler]: yeah

546
00:15:41,828 –> 00:15:44,553
[david_blanchett]: income is zero and so i think
the goal to kind of get

547
00:15:44,593 –> 00:15:44,917
[paul_tyler]: yeah

548
00:15:44,613 –> 00:15:49,341
[david_blanchett]: them to kind of more actively considerate
and i do feel like we’re making positive

549
00:15:49,292 –> 00:15:49,843
[paul_tyler]: yeah

550
00:15:49,381 –> 00:15:50,743
[david_blanchett]: steps but you know to be

551
00:15:50,745 –> 00:15:50,846
[paul_tyler]: ah

552
00:15:50,803 –> 00:15:54,129
[david_blanchett]: honest we haven’t made the steps thought
we would have five years ago hopefully the

553
00:15:54,169 –> 00:15:56,109
[david_blanchett]: next five years is better oh

554
00:15:57,681 –> 00:16:01,167
[ramsey_d_smith]: all right so before the call we
we touched briefly

555
00:16:00,856 –> 00:16:00,876
[bruno_caron]: m

556
00:16:01,267 –> 00:16:04,873

[ramsey_d_smith]: is a

559
00:16:05,623 –> 00:16:06,150
[paul_tyler]: oh

560
00:16:05,854 –> 00:16:08,499

the four percent role and it’s and it’s

564
00:16:17,674 –> 00:16:21,122
[ramsey_d_smith]: and it’s it’s rolled in the in

00:16:53,115 –> 00:16:53,156
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

591
00:16:53,547 –> 00:16:53,848
[michael_finke]: of the four

592
00:16:53,829 –> 00:16:53,850
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

593
00:16:53,928 –> 00:16:55,791
[michael_finke]: percent rule is pretty much consistent with

594
00:16:55,650 –> 00:16:55,894
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

595
00:16:56,292 –> 00:16:56,572
[michael_finke]: the way a

596
00:16:56,554 –> 00:16:56,776
[bruno_caron]: oh

597
00:16:56,632 –> 00:16:59,457
[michael_finke]: lot of us have thought about it
for a long time it’s not so much

598
00:16:59,477 –> 00:16:59,577
[michael_finke]: that

599
00:16:59,619 –> 00:16:59,640
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

600
00:16:59,637 –> 00:16:59,677
[michael_finke]: it

601
00:16:59,674 –> 00:16:59,694
[bruno_caron]: m

602
00:16:59,717 –> 00:16:59,838
[michael_finke]: would

603
00:16:59,730 –> 00:16:59,971
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

604
00:17:00,439 –> 00:17:01,600
[michael_finke]: the original conception

605
00:17:01,241 –> 00:17:01,404
[paul_tyler]: yeah

606
00:17:01,741 –> 00:17:02,181
[michael_finke]: was dumb

607
00:17:02,149 –> 00:17:02,250
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

608
00:17:02,203 –> 00:17:02,953
[paul_tyler]: yeah

609
00:17:02,241 –> 00:17:02,802
[michael_finke]: in fact they made

610
00:17:02,674 –> 00:17:02,916
[bruno_caron]: oh

611
00:17:02,842 –> 00:17:03,503
[michael_finke]: a very good

612
00:17:03,422 –> 00:17:03,544
[bruno_caron]: yeah

613
00:17:03,644 –> 00:17:05,767
[michael_finke]: point bill began when he wrote the
paper and that

614
00:17:05,644 –> 00:17:05,664
[bruno_caron]: m

615
00:17:05,867 –> 00:17:11,837
[michael_finke]: is you can’t simply rely on average
returns to estimate what is safe with roll

616
00:17:11,764 –> 00:17:11,784
[bruno_caron]: m

617
00:17:11,897 –> 00:17:13,319
[michael_finke]: rated so you use historical

618
00:17:13,024 –> 00:17:13,044
[bruno_caron]: m

619
00:17:13,560 –> 00:17:18,708
[michael_finke]: united states returns et cetera and one
aspect of the four percent rule that got

620
00:17:18,788 –> 00:17:21,544
[michael_finke]: take up with this idea of a
fixed

621
00:17:21,960 –> 00:17:22,620
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

622
00:17:22,259 –> 00:17:27,544
[michael_finke]: spending amount from a volatile portfoltha ou
simply can’t do that can’t have a fixed

623
00:17:27,624 –> 00:17:29,345
[michael_finke]: spending amount from a volatile

624
00:17:28,959 –> 00:17:28,980
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

625
00:17:29,385 –> 00:17:31,407
[michael_finke]: portfolio because the portfolio rise

626
00:17:31,389 –> 00:17:31,410
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

627
00:17:31,467 –> 00:17:33,520
[michael_finke]: and fall over time and if it
falls

628
00:17:33,360 –> 00:17:33,666
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

629
00:17:33,600 –> 00:17:38,027
[michael_finke]: over time and you get a decade
for example like the one retires may be

630
00:17:38,107 –> 00:17:41,853
[michael_finke]: facing they’ve retired in two thousand twenty
one the reality is that they’re going to

631
00:17:41,893 –> 00:17:43,396
[michael_finke]: have to cut back on their spending

632
00:17:43,054 –> 00:17:43,294
[bruno_caron]: oh

633
00:17:43,539 –> 00:17:43,560
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

634
00:17:44,358 –> 00:17:44,638
[michael_finke]: in that

635
00:17:44,739 –> 00:17:44,760
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

636
00:17:45,139 –> 00:17:46,621
[michael_finke]: to some different variants

637
00:17:46,269 –> 00:17:47,580
[ramsey_d_smith]: m oh

638
00:17:46,681 –> 00:17:46,722
[michael_finke]: of

639
00:17:46,703 –> 00:17:46,864
[bruno_caron]: yeah

640
00:17:46,782 –> 00:17:48,164
[michael_finke]: the four percent rule that

641
00:17:48,150 –> 00:17:49,020
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

642
00:17:48,224 –> 00:17:50,748
[michael_finke]: created guard rails to allow clients

643
00:17:50,469 –> 00:17:50,490
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

644
00:17:50,848 –> 00:17:52,712
[michael_finke]: to adjust their spending upward or downward

645
00:17:52,645 –> 00:17:52,787
[paul_tyler]: what

646
00:17:53,052 –> 00:17:56,338
[michael_finke]: that’s probably a more realistic approach to
trying to develop a spending

647
00:17:56,319 –> 00:17:56,340
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

648
00:17:56,398 –> 00:18:02,628
[michael_finke]: plan from volatile portfolio but again it
also doesn’t address this idea of umlaungevity risk

649
00:18:03,129 –> 00:18:08,558
[michael_finke]: and it doesn’t really say anything about
what happens when you fail you know people

650
00:18:08,638 –> 00:18:12,489
[michael_finke]: run then marti carlo analysis and maybe
you have an eighty percent chance of success

651
00:18:12,509 –> 00:18:17,662
[michael_finke]: but there’s no information about how bad
things can get when you experience when you’re

652
00:18:17,762 –> 00:18:21,368
[michael_finke]: one of those twenty percent of retires
to experience failure and so i kind of

653
00:18:21,428 –> 00:18:27,318
[michael_finke]: is type like to us something called
a utility analysis where it recognizes that

654
00:18:27,274 –> 00:18:29,824
[bruno_caron]: yeah

655
00:18:28,019 –> 00:18:30,744
[michael_finke]: you know if you fail to spend
eight thousand dollars

656
00:18:30,810 –> 00:18:31,410
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

657
00:18:30,844 –> 00:18:31,104
[michael_finke]: a year

658
00:18:30,924 –> 00:18:30,985
[bruno_caron]: ah

659
00:18:31,645 –> 00:18:32,486
[michael_finke]: but the downside

660
00:18:32,313 –> 00:18:32,374
[bruno_caron]: ah

661
00:18:32,547 –> 00:18:33,749
[michael_finke]: is that you’re spending seventy thousand

662
00:18:33,570 –> 00:18:33,855
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

663
00:18:33,789 –> 00:18:38,416
[michael_finke]: dollars a year that’s okay that’s that’s
a much better failure than having to go

664
00:18:38,496 –> 00:18:40,099
[michael_finke]: from eight thousand to thirty thousand

665
00:18:40,059 –> 00:18:40,080
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

666
00:18:40,139 –> 00:18:41,201
[michael_finke]: dollars a year and live off

667
00:18:41,203 –> 00:18:41,504
[paul_tyler]: oh

668
00:18:41,261 –> 00:18:42,603
[michael_finke]: social security so

669
00:18:43,043 –> 00:18:43,590
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

670
00:18:43,264 –> 00:18:45,087
[michael_finke]: the gradation of life style

671
00:18:45,249 –> 00:18:45,270
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

672
00:18:45,548 –> 00:18:46,650
[michael_finke]: is what is captured

673
00:18:46,499 –> 00:18:46,561
[paul_tyler]: ay

674
00:18:46,710 –> 00:18:48,173
[michael_finke]: by using a utility analysis

675
00:18:47,788 –> 00:18:47,871
[paul_tyler]: ah

676
00:18:47,919 –> 00:18:47,940
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

677
00:18:48,233 –> 00:18:49,314
[michael_finke]: but it’s a little bit less

678
00:18:49,560 –> 00:18:49,580
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

679
00:18:49,815 –> 00:18:53,722
[michael_finke]: easy for advisors to understand output it
can optimize

680
00:18:53,319 –> 00:18:53,340
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

681
00:18:53,802 –> 00:18:58,971
[michael_finke]: but it can’t necessarily show you a
very compelling a vocative statistics like a failure

682
00:18:59,011 –> 00:18:59,752
[michael_finke]: rate but that

683
00:18:59,635 –> 00:18:59,656
[bruno_caron]: i

684
00:18:59,832 –> 00:19:00,353
[michael_finke]: failure rate

685
00:19:00,450 –> 00:19:01,380
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

686
00:19:00,814 –> 00:19:05,711
[michael_finke]: really neglects a lot of important information
and that should go into the retirement

687
00:19:05,353 –> 00:19:06,632
[paul_tyler]: oh

688
00:19:05,751 –> 00:19:06,495
[michael_finke]: planning process

689
00:19:07,303 –> 00:19:08,173
[paul_tyler]: oh

690
00:19:07,980 –> 00:19:12,368
[ramsey_d_smith]: well it seems to me that like
the way that the rule is used and

691
00:19:13,590 –> 00:19:16,054
[ramsey_d_smith]: i’m being this is a rough rough
way of putting it but

692
00:19:16,505 –> 00:19:17,562
[paul_tyler]: yea

693
00:19:16,595 –> 00:19:19,440
[ramsey_d_smith]: it sort of described in a very
linear way and what you’re talking about is

694
00:19:19,483 –> 00:19:19,704
[paul_tyler]: yeah

695
00:19:19,720 –> 00:19:23,166
[ramsey_d_smith]: right has right the utility function as
a curve to it right

696
00:19:23,053 –> 00:19:23,295
[paul_tyler]: oh

697
00:19:23,466 –> 00:19:23,687
[ramsey_d_smith]: and

698
00:19:24,354 –> 00:19:24,516
[paul_tyler]: yeah

699
00:19:24,588 –> 00:19:26,832
[ramsey_d_smith]: to your point going from eighty to
seventy maybe means

700
00:19:26,713 –> 00:19:27,373
[paul_tyler]: oh

701
00:19:27,273 –> 00:19:27,854
[ramsey_d_smith]: right fewer

702
00:19:27,763 –> 00:19:28,024
[paul_tyler]: oh

703
00:19:27,874 –> 00:19:30,498
[ramsey_d_smith]: trips to the golf course but going
from seventy

704
00:19:30,424 –> 00:19:30,628
[bruno_caron]: oh

705
00:19:30,578 –> 00:19:31,620
[ramsey_d_smith]: to thirty it

706
00:19:31,935 –> 00:19:32,016
[paul_tyler]: ah

707
00:19:31,960 –> 00:19:33,283
[ramsey_d_smith]: means you know a lot more

708
00:19:33,274 –> 00:19:33,294
[bruno_caron]: m

709
00:19:33,303 –> 00:19:33,683
[ramsey_d_smith]: essentials

710
00:19:33,613 –> 00:19:34,393
[paul_tyler]: oh

711
00:19:33,743 –> 00:19:38,652
[ramsey_d_smith]: are you know are at risk um
know we had we had william began on

712
00:19:38,692 –> 00:19:39,573
[ramsey_d_smith]: the show some

713
00:19:39,643 –> 00:19:39,904
[paul_tyler]: yeah

714
00:19:39,653 –> 00:19:40,715
[ramsey_d_smith]: number of months ago and

715
00:19:40,834 –> 00:19:41,734
[bruno_caron]: oh

716
00:19:41,296 –> 00:19:42,999
[ramsey_d_smith]: one of the things that was really
remarkable as i

717
00:19:43,033 –> 00:19:43,274
[paul_tyler]: oh

718
00:19:43,039 –> 00:19:45,303
[ramsey_d_smith]: think that he would find common ground
with you and many of the things

719
00:19:45,283 –> 00:19:45,544
[paul_tyler]: oh

720
00:19:45,343 –> 00:19:47,266
[ramsey_d_smith]: you said he talked about spending

721
00:19:47,053 –> 00:19:47,338
[paul_tyler]: oh

722
00:19:47,306 –> 00:19:52,615
[ramsey_d_smith]: control is sort of a fundamental underlying
element that isn’t talked about enough um the

723
00:19:52,635 –> 00:19:53,897
[ramsey_d_smith]: four percent rule is i think it’s

724
00:19:54,394 –> 00:19:54,878
[paul_tyler]: i test

725
00:19:54,618 –> 00:19:54,718
[ramsey_d_smith]: my

726
00:19:54,656 –> 00:19:54,677
[michael_finke]: i

727
00:19:54,778 –> 00:19:57,803
[ramsey_d_smith]: view is it’s really good bench mark
and a good place to start a discussion

728
00:19:57,323 –> 00:19:57,504
[paul_tyler]: yeah

729
00:19:59,366 –> 00:20:00,668
[ramsey_d_smith]: and unfortunately

730
00:20:00,232 –> 00:20:00,514
[david_blanchett]: oh

731
00:20:00,768 –> 00:20:02,932
[ramsey_d_smith]: it has been sort of over utilized
as a

732
00:20:02,985 –> 00:20:03,085
[bruno_caron]: is

733
00:20:03,713 –> 00:20:03,914
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

734
00:20:05,674 –> 00:20:05,898
[bruno_caron]: yeah

735
00:20:06,318 –> 00:20:08,989
[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s been used dogmatical in a way
i don’t think it was ever actually

736
00:20:08,985 –> 00:20:09,188
[bruno_caron]: yes

737
00:20:09,009 –> 00:20:10,256
[ramsey_d_smith]: meant to be meant to be applied

738
00:20:12,342 –> 00:20:12,402
[david_blanchett]: so

739
00:20:12,588 –> 00:20:12,709
[paul_tyler]: yeah

740
00:20:12,622 –> 00:20:15,026
[david_blanchett]: i mean real quick i mean all
all it tells you

741
00:20:14,974 –> 00:20:14,994
[bruno_caron]: m

742
00:20:15,647 –> 00:20:19,033
[david_blanchett]: is how much you need to have
saved when you retire it’s really you just

743
00:20:19,073 –> 00:20:20,075
[david_blanchett]: need twenty five times

744
00:20:19,849 –> 00:20:20,509
[michael_finke]: yeah

745
00:20:20,115 –> 00:20:22,980
[david_blanchett]: your income goal that’s all it’s ever
intended to do i think

746
00:20:22,949 –> 00:20:22,969
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

747
00:20:23,420 –> 00:20:23,981
[david_blanchett]: i think that

748
00:20:23,940 –> 00:20:24,600
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

749
00:20:24,222 –> 00:20:25,304
[david_blanchett]: that advice is still

750
00:20:25,500 –> 00:20:25,641
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

751
00:20:25,564 –> 00:20:27,167
[david_blanchett]: is still a decent rule of thumb

752
00:20:27,258 –> 00:20:27,399
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

753
00:20:27,327 –> 00:20:27,728
[david_blanchett]: i mean it’s

754
00:20:27,760 –> 00:20:27,901
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

755
00:20:27,768 –> 00:20:29,871
[david_blanchett]: obviously not optima for everyone i think

756
00:20:29,700 –> 00:20:29,963
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

757
00:20:29,991 –> 00:20:32,896
[david_blanchett]: the larger issue as michal points out
are the underling assumptions

758
00:20:32,889 –> 00:20:32,910
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

759
00:20:32,936 –> 00:20:37,364
[david_blanchett]: that have been used in that model
and other models as well they’ll still permeate

760
00:20:37,724 –> 00:20:41,050
[david_blanchett]: the advisors use today and i think
that you know using some of those assumptions

761
00:20:41,130 –> 00:20:41,591
[david_blanchett]: can lead to

762
00:20:41,550 –> 00:20:41,772
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

763
00:20:41,791 –> 00:20:45,758
[david_blanchett]: radically bad advice for advisors who are
doing these financial plans

764
00:20:45,570 –> 00:20:45,838
[ramsey_d_smith]: my

765
00:20:45,838 –> 00:20:50,367
[david_blanchett]: for individuals when focus on things like
the probe ability of success that totally ignores

766
00:20:50,407 –> 00:20:51,129
[david_blanchett]: the magnitude of fill

767
00:20:51,360 –> 00:20:51,380
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

768
00:20:52,794 –> 00:20:55,919
[paul_tyler]: well maybe talk we could talk a
little bit about

769
00:20:56,086 –> 00:20:56,187
[bruno_caron]: ah

770
00:20:56,120 –> 00:21:01,028
[paul_tyler]: you know advice in this period of
time i think of all the rules that

771
00:21:01,308 –> 00:21:01,729
[paul_tyler]: we’ve talked

772
00:21:01,599 –> 00:21:01,620
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

773
00:21:01,749 –> 00:21:05,736
[paul_tyler]: about things like don’t try to time
the mark well should you try the time

774
00:21:05,776 –> 00:21:07,178
[paul_tyler]: to interest environment

775
00:21:07,209 –> 00:21:07,230
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

776
00:21:07,579 –> 00:21:09,181
[paul_tyler]: right the interest rate and why should
i try

777
00:21:09,229 –> 00:21:09,493
[michael_finke]: my

778
00:21:09,262 –> 00:21:09,342
[paul_tyler]: to

779
00:21:09,579 –> 00:21:09,600
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

780
00:21:09,983 –> 00:21:16,434
[paul_tyler]: should i try to time the guaranteed
income market i never would have expected we

781
00:21:16,594 –> 00:21:24,988
[paul_tyler]: see such change dave that we talked
about earlier in income interest rates um and

782
00:21:25,068 –> 00:21:26,470
[paul_tyler]: just to give you a little bit
of color

783
00:21:26,169 –> 00:21:26,251
[bruno_caron]: ah

784
00:21:27,212 –> 00:21:27,352
[paul_tyler]: we’ve

785
00:21:27,299 –> 00:21:27,421
[bruno_caron]: is

786
00:21:27,392 –> 00:21:30,056
[paul_tyler]: had so much activity you knows a
car as carriers

787
00:21:30,240 –> 00:21:30,664
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

788
00:21:30,637 –> 00:21:34,864
[paul_tyler]: trying to keep up with rates and
deliver now value consumers an agent the same

789
00:21:34,924 –> 00:21:37,108
[paul_tyler]: time agents have used this and advisers

790
00:21:36,630 –> 00:21:36,811
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

791
00:21:36,810 –> 00:21:37,051
[bruno_caron]: yes

792
00:21:37,168 –> 00:21:40,894
[paul_tyler]: are using this opportunity to go back
and say you know you were in this

793
00:21:40,954 –> 00:21:46,043
[paul_tyler]: product you were in this plan will
move you to hear um carries there’s a

794
00:21:46,063 –> 00:21:48,046
[paul_tyler]: tremendous backlog in carriers

795
00:21:48,930 –> 00:21:49,176
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

796
00:21:48,988 –> 00:21:53,415
[paul_tyler]: a lot of this a lot of
the money is coming from retirement accounts investment

797
00:21:53,455 –> 00:21:55,579
[paul_tyler]: accounts and they may have started

798
00:21:55,474 –> 00:21:55,836
[bruno_caron]: oh

799
00:21:55,639 –> 00:22:00,156
[paul_tyler]: a conversation with a with their advisor
two months ago the money hasn’t transferred yet

800
00:22:01,097 –> 00:22:02,179
[paul_tyler]: and the balances are down

801
00:22:02,250 –> 00:22:02,970
[ramsey_d_smith]: my

802
00:22:03,141 –> 00:22:07,007
[paul_tyler]: so it’s really this really strange hurry
up and weight

803
00:22:07,020 –> 00:22:07,349
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

804
00:22:07,127 –> 00:22:12,336
[paul_tyler]: i mean what would your advice be
and all as david and michael to advisors

805
00:22:12,436 –> 00:22:14,660
[paul_tyler]: who are in that transition point

806
00:22:14,401 –> 00:22:14,522
[michael_finke]: or

807
00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:19,047
[paul_tyler]: at this moment with a client trying
to move them from a market based you

808
00:22:19,087 –> 00:22:19,488
[paul_tyler]: know from

809
00:22:19,919 –> 00:22:19,999
[michael_finke]: we

810
00:22:20,930 –> 00:22:22,292
[paul_tyler]: equity exposure into it

811
00:22:22,449 –> 00:22:22,470
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

812
00:22:22,474 –> 00:22:22,857
[paul_tyler]: guaranteed

813
00:22:22,661 –> 00:22:22,702
[michael_finke]: a

814
00:22:22,897 –> 00:22:23,502
[paul_tyler]: income space

815
00:22:24,973 –> 00:22:25,293
[david_blanchett]: so the one

816
00:22:25,223 –> 00:22:25,364
[paul_tyler]: yeah

817
00:22:25,313 –> 00:22:25,574
[david_blanchett]: thing that

818
00:22:25,800 –> 00:22:25,820
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

819
00:22:25,955 –> 00:22:29,142
[david_blanchett]: i think is a bit different now
versus like where we were in early twenty

820
00:22:29,222 –> 00:22:31,287
[david_blanchett]: twenty is that they weren’t necessarily

821
00:22:30,904 –> 00:22:30,924
[bruno_caron]: m

822
00:22:31,327 –> 00:22:34,453
[david_blanchett]: very good you know safe options that
now

823
00:22:34,543 –> 00:22:34,564
[bruno_caron]: m

824
00:22:34,554 –> 00:22:38,460
[david_blanchett]: you can get my guess yielding five
per cent the caps on fees spectacular i

825
00:22:38,520 –> 00:22:43,108
[david_blanchett]: think that you know that i always
worry about investors staying the course right

826
00:22:43,003 –> 00:22:43,227
[paul_tyler]: yes

827
00:22:43,448 –> 00:22:47,956
[david_blanchett]: but it’s always kind of dorbydory or
do i stick with the balance portfolio or

828
00:22:48,016 –> 00:22:50,320
[david_blanchett]: do i move to something else that
may be more secure well now

829
00:22:50,889 –> 00:22:50,910
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

830
00:22:51,281 –> 00:22:54,787
[david_blanchett]: i do think it’s worth having conversations
and say hey you know the markets might

831
00:22:54,847 –> 00:22:57,292
[david_blanchett]: rally they have rallied so far that
they might rally last month

832
00:22:57,189 –> 00:22:57,210
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

833
00:22:57,393 –> 00:22:58,504
[david_blanchett]: i rally michael down again

834
00:22:58,744 –> 00:22:58,926
[bruno_caron]: oh

835
00:22:59,622 –> 00:23:00,223
[david_blanchett]: how do you feel

836
00:23:00,279 –> 00:23:00,300
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

837
00:23:00,283 –> 00:23:01,485
[david_blanchett]: about your current your current

838
00:23:01,294 –> 00:23:02,134
[bruno_caron]: yeah

839
00:23:01,545 –> 00:23:05,492
[david_blanchett]: strategy and i think that now more
than ever you know it’s worth advisors understanding

840
00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:05,420
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

841
00:23:05,512 –> 00:23:09,238
[david_blanchett]: where these products it because what worries
me is that someone looked at apia you

842
00:23:09,278 –> 00:23:12,346
[david_blanchett]: know a year ago and they hated
it and they don’t real how the market

843
00:23:12,406 –> 00:23:13,652
[david_blanchett]: has evolved radically

844
00:23:13,873 –> 00:23:14,713
[paul_tyler]: yeah

845
00:23:14,174 –> 00:23:14,636
[david_blanchett]: over that last

846
00:23:14,580 –> 00:23:14,600
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

847
00:23:14,696 –> 00:23:14,837
[david_blanchett]: year

848
00:23:14,983 –> 00:23:16,003
[paul_tyler]: yeah

849
00:23:16,579 –> 00:23:18,911
[michael_finke]: yeah if you’re thinking in terms

850
00:23:18,853 –> 00:23:19,513
[paul_tyler]: yeah

851
00:23:18,971 –> 00:23:23,078
[michael_finke]: of timing interest rates it’s not a
bad idea to look at where the yield

852
00:23:23,158 –> 00:23:26,704
[michael_finke]: curve is right now because the markets
telling you what the expectations

853
00:23:26,550 –> 00:23:26,712
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

854
00:23:26,844 –> 00:23:27,826
[michael_finke]: are for interest

855
00:23:27,703 –> 00:23:27,724
[bruno_caron]: m

856
00:23:27,866 –> 00:23:31,973
[michael_finke]: rates going forward and it is that
they will fall i mean it’s not a

857
00:23:32,053 –> 00:23:32,914
[michael_finke]: perfect predictor

858
00:23:32,910 –> 00:23:33,540
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

859
00:23:32,974 –> 00:23:34,336
[michael_finke]: of interest rates but

860
00:23:34,170 –> 00:23:34,352
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

861
00:23:34,817 –> 00:23:39,465
[michael_finke]: you know the ten year is significantly
lower than the one year or two year

862
00:23:40,467 –> 00:23:41,148
[michael_finke]: treasury so

863
00:23:41,799 –> 00:23:41,820
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

864
00:23:42,009 –> 00:23:44,513
[michael_finke]: it’s telling you that the market is

865
00:23:44,494 –> 00:23:45,184
[bruno_caron]: yeah

866
00:23:44,594 –> 00:23:46,116
[michael_finke]: expecting this to be a temporary

867
00:23:46,084 –> 00:23:46,326
[bruno_caron]: oh

868
00:23:46,256 –> 00:23:50,704
[michael_finke]: short phenomenon of high interest rates to
sort of flow down the rate of inflation

869
00:23:51,645 –> 00:23:56,233
[michael_finke]: and it’s a retire you can take
vantage fees i mean if i just looked

870
00:23:56,273 –> 00:24:01,021
[michael_finke]: at five year mica yesterday and they
were five point two percent from high quality

871
00:24:01,361 –> 00:24:01,802
[michael_finke]: insures

872
00:24:02,010 –> 00:24:02,532
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

873
00:24:02,303 –> 00:24:05,569
[michael_finke]: if you can lock in your five
year liability

874
00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:06,150
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

875
00:24:05,669 –> 00:24:10,455
[michael_finke]: is using a five point two per
cent rate retirement income is a lot less

876
00:24:10,555 –> 00:24:11,577
[michael_finke]: expensive than it was

877
00:24:11,610 –> 00:24:11,630
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

878
00:24:11,777 –> 00:24:12,358
[michael_finke]: a year ago

879
00:24:12,763 –> 00:24:12,784
[bruno_caron]: m

880
00:24:13,314 –> 00:24:13,820
[paul_tyler]: oh

881
00:24:13,399 –> 00:24:17,765
[michael_finke]: you know if it’s good enough if
if that will help you meet your liabilities

882
00:24:17,805 –> 00:24:17,925
[michael_finke]: you’re

883
00:24:17,820 –> 00:24:17,840
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

884
00:24:17,945 –> 00:24:22,541
[michael_finke]: expected liabilities and retirement at a much
lower cost it might be worth locking those

885
00:24:22,657 –> 00:24:22,738
[paul_tyler]: this

886
00:24:22,781 –> 00:24:22,902
[michael_finke]: in

887
00:24:22,839 –> 00:24:22,960
[paul_tyler]: coup

888
00:24:23,042 –> 00:24:23,362
[michael_finke]: today

889
00:24:23,233 –> 00:24:23,455
[paul_tyler]: yeah

890
00:24:23,523 –> 00:24:25,887
[michael_finke]: who knows none of us know where
interest rates are going to go

891
00:24:26,083 –> 00:24:27,283
[paul_tyler]: oh

892
00:24:26,467 –> 00:24:27,409
[michael_finke]: but this

893
00:24:27,283 –> 00:24:27,973
[paul_tyler]: yeah

894
00:24:27,469 –> 00:24:29,252
[michael_finke]: really is an asset liability

895
00:24:29,070 –> 00:24:29,336
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

896
00:24:29,312 –> 00:24:31,917
[michael_finke]: match exercise that’s what retirement and come
planning is all about

897
00:24:31,920 –> 00:24:31,940
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

898
00:24:32,297 –> 00:24:32,718
[michael_finke]: and right now

899
00:24:32,713 –> 00:24:33,373
[paul_tyler]: yeah

900
00:24:32,778 –> 00:24:36,905
[michael_finke]: it takes we’re at to meet those
spending liabilities now the liabilities may have gone

901
00:24:36,965 –> 00:24:38,467
[michael_finke]: up also because of inflation but

902
00:24:38,469 –> 00:24:38,490
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

903
00:24:39,349 –> 00:24:39,569
[michael_finke]: you know

904
00:24:39,573 –> 00:24:39,759
[paul_tyler]: yes

905
00:24:39,910 –> 00:24:40,070
[michael_finke]: it’s

906
00:24:40,149 –> 00:24:40,170
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

907
00:24:40,591 –> 00:24:43,937
[michael_finke]: a lot of people have a mix
of inflation adjusted and nominal

908
00:24:43,590 –> 00:24:44,550
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

909
00:24:43,693 –> 00:24:43,934
[paul_tyler]: yeah

910
00:24:43,977 –> 00:24:47,282
[michael_finke]: liabilities for example texas my property taxes

911
00:24:47,379 –> 00:24:47,400
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

912
00:24:47,382 –> 00:24:48,765
[michael_finke]: after after i retire

913
00:24:49,243 –> 00:24:50,383
[paul_tyler]: yeah

914
00:24:49,245 –> 00:24:52,711
[michael_finke]: are going to be fixed so they’re
gonna be held constant that is a nominal

915
00:24:52,560 –> 00:24:52,580
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

916
00:24:52,771 –> 00:24:55,496
[michael_finke]: expense i can get rid of that’s
a nominal liability

917
00:24:55,333 –> 00:24:55,618
[paul_tyler]: oh

918
00:24:55,440 –> 00:24:56,190
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

919
00:24:55,576 –> 00:24:58,440
[michael_finke]: if we get rid of that with
a nominal invent man you know i can

920
00:24:58,480 –> 00:25:01,945
[michael_finke]: delay social security to deal with my
more inflation

921
00:25:01,959 –> 00:25:01,980
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

922
00:25:02,046 –> 00:25:07,054
[michael_finke]: adjusted types of expenses but you know
it is all asset liability matching in the

923
00:25:07,074 –> 00:25:07,815
[michael_finke]: markets giving you a

924
00:25:07,830 –> 00:25:08,790
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

925
00:25:07,855 –> 00:25:10,082
[michael_finke]: lot more these days than it did
in the recent as

926
00:25:12,325 –> 00:25:18,335
[bruno_caron]: well while while we’re on that topic
i know one of the critics to you

927
00:25:18,375 –> 00:25:25,346
[bruno_caron]: know to lifetime income protected lifetime income
is you know is the the inflation protection

928
00:25:26,128 –> 00:25:27,590
[bruno_caron]: um what do you say

929
00:25:27,853 –> 00:25:28,080
[paul_tyler]: yeah

930
00:25:27,890 –> 00:25:35,062
[bruno_caron]: to to those folks who you know
would go against any protected lifetime

931
00:25:34,740 –> 00:25:34,981
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

932
00:25:35,143 –> 00:25:35,463
[bruno_caron]: income

933
00:25:35,653 –> 00:25:36,403
[paul_tyler]: oh

934
00:25:36,148 –> 00:25:36,309
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

935
00:25:36,164 –> 00:25:39,330
[bruno_caron]: uh just based on that that inflation
factor

936
00:25:42,343 –> 00:25:46,490
[david_blanchett]: so i would say that i mean
again it’s different in every country run but

937
00:25:46,570 –> 00:25:46,870
[david_blanchett]: in you

938
00:25:46,804 –> 00:25:47,126
[bruno_caron]: oh

939
00:25:46,910 –> 00:25:50,376
[david_blanchett]: know the u s we have a
asocisecurty system that hat is explicitly linked to

940
00:25:50,436 –> 00:25:54,142
[david_blanchett]: inflation right so and i think that
you have set of

941
00:25:54,313 –> 00:25:54,599
[paul_tyler]: oh

942
00:25:54,964 –> 00:26:00,112
[david_blanchett]: real or inflation adjusted lifetime income to
michael’s point not all of someone’s liabilities have

943
00:26:00,152 –> 00:26:03,618
[david_blanchett]: to be matched to inflation so i
think that yes it isn’t it isn’t like

944
00:26:03,678 –> 00:26:07,324
[david_blanchett]: the best thing in the world but
you can’t buy the explicit inflation hedge with

945
00:26:07,485 –> 00:26:11,892
[david_blanchett]: other guaranteed income but there are there
are emerging set of products that exist today

946
00:26:12,353 –> 00:26:15,879
[david_blanchett]: that do provide at least an implicit
hedgewherethere’s a possibility of a benefit rise of

947
00:26:15,939 –> 00:26:16,720
[david_blanchett]: inflation is higher

948
00:26:16,804 –> 00:26:17,046
[bruno_caron]: oh

949
00:26:17,021 –> 00:26:20,964
[david_blanchett]: but i guess you know if every
if every american didn’t already have

950
00:26:21,030 –> 00:26:22,020
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

951
00:26:21,265 –> 00:26:22,926
[david_blanchett]: lifetime guaranteed income

952
00:26:22,804 –> 00:26:23,025
[bruno_caron]: oh

953
00:26:23,026 –> 00:26:23,407
[david_blanchett]: explicitly

954
00:26:23,123 –> 00:26:23,184
[paul_tyler]: he

955
00:26:23,427 –> 00:26:26,189
[david_blanchett]: linked to inflation i would be a
lot more worried about it but i think

956
00:26:26,369 –> 00:26:28,011
[david_blanchett]: people make that argument to view

957
00:26:28,929 –> 00:26:28,950
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

958
00:26:29,112 –> 00:26:34,792
[david_blanchett]: the liability the assets in their entirety
versus an isolation m

959
00:26:35,609 –> 00:26:35,869
[michael_finke]: we should

960
00:26:35,713 –> 00:26:36,373
[paul_tyler]: yeah

961
00:26:35,909 –> 00:26:36,089
[michael_finke]: also

962
00:26:36,043 –> 00:26:36,163
[ramsey_d_smith]: all

963
00:26:36,189 –> 00:26:36,449
[michael_finke]: mention

964
00:26:36,223 –> 00:26:36,423
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

965
00:26:36,529 –> 00:26:36,650
[michael_finke]: that

966
00:26:36,544 –> 00:26:36,644
[ramsey_d_smith]: so

967
00:26:36,690 –> 00:26:38,071
[michael_finke]: there is some product

968
00:26:38,006 –> 00:26:38,246
[ramsey_d_smith]: go ahead

969
00:26:38,191 –> 00:26:42,495
[michael_finke]: innovation in this space that for example
find g has come out with a fixed

970
00:26:42,575 –> 00:26:48,232
[michael_finke]: indexed annuity that does happen at five
percent inflation increase in the amount of guaranteed

971
00:26:48,292 –> 00:26:48,692
[michael_finke]: income that

972
00:26:48,690 –> 00:26:48,710
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

973
00:26:48,713 –> 00:26:50,876
[michael_finke]: you can receive so it’s really the
first fixed

974
00:26:50,734 –> 00:26:50,977
[bruno_caron]: oh

975
00:26:50,916 –> 00:26:56,425
[michael_finke]: into excenuity that i’ve seen with some
sort of an inflation linked income benefit guarantee

976
00:26:57,307 –> 00:27:00,104
[michael_finke]: be great to see a it more
innovation in that space i think

977
00:27:02,793 –> 00:27:02,933
[paul_tyler]: yeah

978
00:27:02,985 –> 00:27:03,146
[ramsey_d_smith]: well

979
00:27:03,133 –> 00:27:06,359
[paul_tyler]: it’s very expensive at this point michael
you know to come out with

980
