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!

What’s the Value of Financial Advice?

Agreeing on the value of financial advice may seem easy given the wealth of information available on the internet. Yet the findings of a recent Morningstar survey reveal ample opportunities for advisors and investors to get on the same page.

The Bucket Strategy – What It Is, and What It Can Do for You

The bucket strategy provides an opportunity to capitalize on longer-term market growth in the earlier years of retirement while easing the fear of risk and the tendency to overreact to market fluctuations.

The Bucket Strategy – Who Wants It and How to Win Their Business

The bucket strategy is growing in popularity as Americans seek ways to ensure their hard-earned money will last throughout the entirety of their retirement years. The bucket strategy explores how advisors should approach the strategy to generate more business.

Best Interest Transparency

Despite the obvious need for financial help, many Americans are hesitant to meet with a financial advisor or, if they do meet with an advisor, fail to act on the advice provided to them. Why this dichotomy? If people know they need advice, why do they fail to seek it or to act on it when given?...
