Create a Custom Retirement Spending Strategy

RightCapital understands not every client will draw on their assets in the same way. This is why we offer the ability to utilize dynamic spending strategies, to adjust how clients draw down their assets during retirement. Advisors can create their own custom spending strategies in the Models > Retirement Spending tab.

To create a new spending strategy, click "Add Spending Strategy" on the left. After being created, the new strategy can be renamed by clicking the "..." icon to the right of the name:

You can also make a copy of an existing model by hovering over a model, and clicking the copy icon to the right of the model name:

After adding a spending strategy, you can use the ''Strategy type' field to determine which of the default strategies you would like to use as the basis for your new strategy. The rules and parameters for your custom strategy will change depending on your chosen option:

You are free to adjust the parameters for your custom spending strategy as you see fit. After dialing in your parameters, click the blue Save button in the lower right.
