Sequencing Risk and improving Health & Wealth Expectancy

Sequencing risk is an important investment theory to factor into a financial plan – Why?

Sequencing risk is an important investment theory to factor into a financial plan – WHY?- Because it is a risk most investors face and it becomes more imminent in the lead up to retirement and the first 10 years of living in retirement.

The ‘reader friendly’ definition of sequencing risk is :

  • A significant market correction or economic crisis close to, or, within the first 5-7 years of retirement
  • The frequency and timing of withdrawals from retirement savings, and the impact it has on the rate of return

Both have a negative impact on how long your retirement savings will last, it can reduce your wealth expectancy. The problem……it only highlights the impact of an economic crisis - What happens if you face a Health Crisis as well such as a CHADD (Cancer, Heart Attack, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Dementia)?

About (80%) older Australians (aged 65 and over) have at least one chronic health condition and 28% had 3 or more based on research completed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. (Its funny that we consider age 65 ‘old’, the Okinawan’s, the longest, healthiest living people in the world are still considered in their ‘youth’ at age 70-80, and 100 is when they may start considering an invitation to heaven)

The impact of sequencing risk and CHADD cannot be understated, they are real and both can significantly impact the longevity of your health & wealth.
