With over 35 years of experience in educating retirees and pre-retirees about retirement plans and retirement planning, Strong Retirement Income Solutions (SRIS) reveals one of the major secrets of the industry. Currently, more than 73 million participants are serviced by over 500,000 401(k) plans. Yet, most of these participants end up dissatisfied, confused, and do not understand their plan or how it works.
For years, investment options offered in company-sponsored retirement plans were restricted to a preselected list of mutual funds that the plan participant chose. The S.D.B.A. or Self-Directed Brokerage Account option allows participants to use an experienced professional Active Money Manager to independently manage a core of specialty funds. While this account option may be one of the best, it only may be available in approximately 40% of retirement plans, and of those only 3-4% of the plans use it.
Strong Retirement Income Solutions reveals that the biggest secret to getting the best out of the SDBA is choosing a money manager. According to the financial firm, ‘‘This oftentimes means using a proactive asset management style with a stop/loss risk strategy. The stop/loss strategy uses mathematical, non-emotional indicators which signal when to enter and exit the market while using selected proprietary mutual funds designed for all investment strategies.’’
