As a client approaches retirement, a client will often reduce their risk and at the same time reduce their rate of return earned on an account. Glide Paths allow for configuring changing rates of return as a person gets closer to retirement. A Glide Path may also optionally include a retirement rate of return. (TRAK ships with default glide paths that may be reconfigured, based on an advisor's preferences).
To review the available pre-built Glide Path models, click on the down-arrow to the right of the model name field.
There are 3 default glide paths available (which can reviewed and altered if desired):
Aggressive - higher rates of return farther from retirement.
Moderate - slightly more conservative rates of return prior to retirement.
Conservative - conservative rates of return prior to retirement.
Additionally, a custom Glide Path can be named and/or added:
Note: | If including a retirement rate of return for a glide path is enabled, the rate of return under Account Distribution in both Gap Analysis and Quick Gap will not be displayed. |
