In this episode of Money Matters, Ken Moraif discusses how retirees and pre-retirees can evaluate investment risk using a retirement planning concept called the “hurdle rate.” He also reviews key factors to consider when deciding when to claim Social Security benefits, explores market history and sequence-of-returns risk, and explains why estate planning can be important for individuals and families of all wealth levels. The discussion is intended for educational purposes and highlights considerations that may be relevant when developing a retirement and estate planning strategy.
