工作流程

Step 1: Client Profile

步骤1:客户资料收集

Gather or confirm:
  • Demographics: Age, spouse age, dependents, life expectancy assumptions
  • Employment: Current income, expected raises, retirement age target
  • Accounts: All investment accounts with balances and asset allocation
  • Income sources: Salary, bonuses, rental income, Social Security estimates, pensions
  • Expenses: Current annual spending, expected changes (mortgage payoff, kids' independence)
  • Liabilities: Mortgage, student loans, other debt
  • Insurance: Life, disability, LTC, health
  • Estate: Wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, gifting strategy
收集或确认以下信息:
  • 人口统计信息:年龄、配偶年龄、受抚养人、预期寿命假设
  • 就业情况:当前收入、预期加薪、目标退休年龄
  • 账户信息:所有投资账户的余额及资产配置
  • 收入来源:薪资、奖金、租金收入、社会保障预估、养老金
  • 支出情况:当前年度支出、预期变化(如房贷还清、子女独立)
  • 负债情况:房贷、学生贷款、其他债务
  • 保险情况:人寿保险、伤残保险、长期护理保险(LTC)、健康保险
  • 遗产规划:遗嘱、信托、受益人指定、赠与策略

Step 2: Cash Flow Analysis

步骤2:现金流分析

Build annual cash flow projections:
YearAgeGross IncomeTaxesLiving ExpensesSavingsNet Cash Flow
Key inputs:
  • Inflation rate assumption (typically 2.5-3%)
  • Tax rate (marginal and effective)
  • Savings rate and where savings are directed (pre-tax, Roth, taxable)
构建年度现金流预测:
年份年龄总收入税费生活支出储蓄净现金流
关键输入项:
  • 通货膨胀率假设(通常为2.5-3%)
  • 税率(边际税率和实际税率)
  • 储蓄率及储蓄投向(税前账户、Roth账户、应税账户)

Step 3: Retirement Projections

步骤3:退休规划预测

Accumulation Phase:
  • Current portfolio value
  • Annual contributions (401k, IRA, taxable)
  • Expected return by asset class
  • Monte Carlo simulation: probability of success at various spending levels
Distribution Phase:
  • Required annual spending in retirement (today's dollars → inflation-adjusted)
  • Social Security start age and benefit
  • Pension income (if any)
  • Portfolio withdrawal rate and sequence
  • Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
Key Output:
  • Projected portfolio value at retirement
  • Sustainable withdrawal rate
  • Probability of not running out of money (target >85%)
  • "What if" scenarios: retire early, market downturn, higher spending
积累阶段:
  • 当前投资组合价值
  • 年度供款(401k、IRA、应税账户)
  • 各资产类别的预期回报率
  • 蒙特卡洛模拟:不同支出水平下的成功概率
分配阶段:
  • 退休后年度所需支出(按当前美元计算→经通胀调整)
  • 社会保障开始领取年龄及福利金额
  • 养老金收入(如有)
  • 投资组合提取率及提取顺序
  • 最低必需提取额(RMDs)
关键输出:
  • 退休时的预计投资组合价值
  • 可持续提取率
  • 资金不耗尽的概率(目标>85%)
  • "假设情景"分析:提前退休、市场低迷、支出增加

Step 4: Goal-Specific Analysis

步骤4:特定目标分析

Education Funding

教育资金筹备

  • Children's ages and target college start
  • Current 529 balances
  • Target funding level (public vs. private, 4-year vs. graduate)
  • Required monthly savings to reach goal
  • Financial aid considerations
  • 子女年龄及目标大学入学时间
  • 当前529账户余额
  • 目标资金水平(公立vs私立、4年制vs研究生)
  • 实现目标所需的月度储蓄额
  • 助学金考量因素

Estate Planning

遗产规划

  • Current estate value and projected growth
  • Estate tax exposure (federal and state)
  • Trust structures in place
  • Gifting strategy (annual exclusion, lifetime exemption usage)
  • Charitable giving plans
  • Beneficiary review
  • 当前遗产价值及预计增长
  • 遗产税风险(联邦及州层面)
  • 已设立的信托架构
  • 赠与策略(年度免税额、终身豁免额度使用)
  • 慈善捐赠计划
  • 受益人审核

Risk Management

风险管理

  • Life insurance needs analysis (income replacement, debt payoff, education funding)
  • Disability insurance adequacy
  • Long-term care planning
  • Umbrella liability coverage

  • 伤残保险充足性评估
  • 长期护理规划
  • 超额责任保险

Step 5: Scenario Modeling

步骤5:情景建模

Run key scenarios:
ScenarioProbability of SuccessPortfolio at 90Notes
Base case
Retire 2 years early
20% market drop in Year 1
Higher spending (+20%)
One spouse lives to 95
Long-term care event
运行关键情景分析:
情景成功概率90岁时的投资组合价值备注
基准情景
提前2年退休
第1年市场下跌20%
支出增加20%
一方配偶活到95岁
发生长期护理事件

Step 6: Recommendations

步骤6:建议

Prioritized action items:
  1. Savings rate changes
  2. Asset allocation adjustments
  3. Tax optimization (Roth conversions, tax-loss harvesting, asset location)
  4. Insurance gaps to fill
  5. Estate document updates
  6. Beneficiary designation review
优先级行动项:
  1. 调整储蓄率
  2. 调整资产配置

Important Notes

重要提示

  • Financial plans are living documents — review and update annually or after major life events
  • Be conservative with return assumptions — overestimating returns gives false confidence
  • Tax planning is as important as investment returns — model tax implications of every recommendation
  • Social Security timing is a major lever — model start ages of 62, 67, and 70
  • Always stress-test the plan — a plan that only works in the base case isn't a good plan
  • Compliance: ensure recommendations align with suitability/fiduciary standards
  • 财务规划是动态文档——每年或重大生活事件后需审核更新
  • 回报率假设需保守——高估回报率会带来虚假信心
  • 税务规划与投资回报同等重要——为每项建议建模税务影响
  • 社会保障领取时机是重要杠杆——模拟62岁、67岁和70岁三个领取年龄
  • 务必对规划进行压力测试——仅在基准情景下有效的规划并非好规划
  • 合规性:确保建议符合适用性/受托标准
