ABSTRACT:
The new and improved method and apparatus of the invention generates a hypothetical illustration of a distribution of possible portfolio values and withdrawal amounts for a designated time period. The invention also provides a new and improved method and apparatus for determining a hypothetical distribution of investment outcomes for a specified portfolio based on a Monte Carlo analysis of historical rates of return for the portfolio and historical rates of inflation. The invention further provides a new and improved method for determining a withdrawal strategy using a combination of fixed dollar and fixed percent withdrawals. The hypothetical illustration of the invention is generated by interacting the combinations of fixed dollar and fixed percent withdrawals, with the hypothetical distribution of investment outcomes for a specified portfolio to facilitate a recommended asset and withdrawal strategy.
