Sequence Risk: The Hidden Threat to Your Retirement Plan (Ep.95)

Retirement Plan Playbook

In this episode of the Retirement Plan Playbook, hosts Brent Pasqua, Matthew Theal, and Joshua Winterswyk discuss the concept of sequence risk in retirement planning.

Sequence risk refers to the risk of receiving lower or negative returns early in a period when retirees begin to withdraw money from their retirement funds. They examine how strategies like portfolio diversification, maintaining a bigger cash reserve, and hiring a financial planner can mitigate sequence risk.

Nevertheless, they caution against relying on annuities, as they often yield poor returns.
