Some investors, especially Constrained Investors, are not well-served with the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP). For creating retirement income, often times financial advisors will tell you to withdraw a defined percentage amount from your portfolio. Typically, the percentage is 4%. This is a perfectly fine investing strategy form some retirees.... but not all.


“SWP" is bad medicine for Constrained Investors.” Constrained Investors are better off with a strategy that seeks to manage certain financial risks e.g. Timing Risk, Longevity Risk and Inflation Risk. The priority on mitigating risks is central to The Income for Life Model.
