TRAK Feature Updates – Gap Analysis, Quick Gap and Paycheck Tool

Our industry is constantly changing and here at RetireReady, we are also constantly looking at ways to improve our solutions. Our goal is to be continually improving to help our advisors be more efficient, help more people, and grow their businesses. We have recently introduced a number of new features in TRAK and have created a brief video illustrating a few of these new additions to the software.

Gap Analysis and Quick Gap

  • Including a pension plan will now allow you to enter the years of service through a certain date, rather than entering the date the person began employment.
  • If working with a defined contribution plan, you now have more options and control when the person is maximizing their contributions, particularly when the plan features both a pre-tax and Roth account.
  • In the Quick Gap, you can now configure future contribution increases to a defined contribution plan. This feature has existed in the Gap Analysis and now is also included in the Quick Gap.
  • On the Contribution Comparisons illustration, you now have more control over the illustration when configuring maximum contributions to a pre-tax and/or Roth account.

  • When illustrating the “Quick Max” scenario, you now have more control over where the maximum contribution will be directed when the plan has both a pre-tax and a Roth account.

If you are interested in learning more about these new features, please watch the video below. If you have an idea for a new feature for TRAK, we would love to hear about it!

Putting Clients in the Driver’s Seat

I have interacted with advisors who are experiencing success, I have noticed one key difference in their approach: they put their clients in the driver’s seat. Allow the client to drive the solutions you provide them for success.

Calculating Federal Deposit and Redeposit Service

One of the purposes of The Retirement Analysis Kit (TRAK) and TRAK-Online software is to reduce the complexity of financial planning – a solution to help advisors with the many complex calculations and illustrations while producing results that clients can easily understand. Nowhere is this more helpful than working with pension plans, which bring their complications.

TRAK Introduces Custom Glide Path Functionality

The newest feature of TRAK 2019, a fully customizable Glide Path, easily overcomes this problem. A Glide Path allows the rate of return to lower as a client nears retirement. This new feature, found within the Deluxe Desktop Version of the Quick Gap calculator, is easy to configure and implement.
