Description: The SOA is pleased to make available material from the Stanford Center on Longevity that focuses on predictions of financial security at different life stages.

Description: The Aging and Retirement Strategic Research Program is pleased to make available a report summarizing the research phase of a multi-phase project leading to publication of a Conversation Guide to plan for changes in financial capacity and decision-making.

Description: This report provides a framework of analyses and methods that can be use to compare and assess strategies for developing lifetime retirement income.

Description: The project goals are: • Illustrate an analytical framework using stochastic forecasts and efficient frontiers for hypothetical retirees, for determining retirement income generators (RIGs) that could be offered in a DC retirement plan. • Determine the RIGS or combination of RIGs that could be considered optimal according to specified criteria. • Encourage plan participants, plan sponsors, and advisors to adopt a portfolio approach to developing retirement income strategies.

Description: This paper is intended to help plan sponsor fiduciaries understand existing options and carry out their due diligence when studying retirement income solutions for DC retirement plans. It educates human resources and financial professionals at plan sponsors about the potential issues, solutions, and processes involved with implementing, administering, and communicating a retirement income program for their plan participants.

Description: This project explores various design and implementation details for the Spend Safely in Retirement Strategy (SSiRS).

Description: This project has four phases. Phase 1 develops the framework for using a portfolio approach to developing retirement income strategies, and establishes a baseline for comparing to future phases. Phases 2, 3 and 4 analyze more complex retirement income solutions than Phase 1, to determine if the additional complexity improves projected outcomes and can be justified by the potential to deliver more favorable results. Interim reports have been prepared for each phase and can be found on the SCL and SOA websites. This report integrates the findings and conclusions from the Interim Reports, to help plan sponsors and their advisors consider the various goals, RIGs, and retirement income solutions that were analyzed in all four phases. This report references the analyses from the interim reports, but does not replicate all of these analyses. The Interim Reports provide many more details on our analyses for all four phases and should be used in conjunction with this report.
