9 BEYOND TRADITIONAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT Most advisers focus only on managing your investments. Your wealth, however, is more than just money in an investment account. It s built upon the income you ll receive throughout your lifetime. because this future income, known as Human Capital, is an important factor in the success of your investments and quality of life, it s vital to protect it for yourself and your loved ones. Lifetime Wealth Portfolios helps you protect your Human Capital during your working years and throughout your retirement by integrating insurance into your portfolio. With Lifetime Wealth Portfolios, your adviser can consider your investment and your protection needs together for a more comprehensive approach to portfolio management. PROTECTING HUMAN CAPITAL DURING YOUR WORKING YEARS While an investor s Financial Capital such as investments and property typically passes to beneficiaries following his or her death, Human Capital does not. In the event of premature death, an investor s loved ones are deprived of the future income he or she would also have provided. Life insurance is uniquely suited to protect your Human Capital, ensuring that you can provide your loved ones with a legacy upon your death to help them maintain their quality of life. PROTECTING YOUR HUMAN CAPITAL IN RETIREMENT Retirees face a much different set of challenges. Rather than the loss of income due to premature death, retirees face the possibility of outliving their retirement savings. Today s retirees may enjoy three total economic wealth AGE 25 AGE 45 AGE 65 Financial Capital Higher future earning potential relative to savings amount. Higher assumed savings and lower earning potential. Human Capital or more decades in retirement, which may require them to spend down their savings over time to cover their expenses. Lifetime Wealth Portfolios has built-in options that provide a steady stream of guaranteed lifetime income to help you maintain your independence and lifestyle. THE ADDED BENEFIT OF OPTIMIZING YOUR PORTFOLIO In addition to the financial protection that life insurance and guaranteed lifetime income afford you and your loved ones, it also can help optimize your portfolio. In your working years, the cash value of whole life insurance can be considered a fixed income asset similar to bonds or other traditional fixed income securities in your overall portfolio. The cash value fulfills a portion of your fixed income asset allocation, and this approach has the potential to optimize your overall portfolio s expected returns while lowering its risk.* In retirement, guaranteed lifetime income from Lifetime Wealth Portfolios addresses a portion of your income needs by providing a stream of income that you cannot outlive. These capabilities are just some of the notable advantages built directly into Lifetime Wealth Portfolios. * Estimating Expected Return and Standard Deviation of New York Life Insurance Company General Account for Investors, Ibbotson Associates, The expected return and standard deviation for insurance products used in the study are estimated based on a model portfolio constructed to approximate the gross asset class returns within the underlying investment portfolio associated with New York Life whole life insurance policies. The study does not suggest the actual outcome of any specific New York Life product or imply that a personal investment into New York Life s general account is possible. The expected returns are based on a forward-looking analysis of market expectations of asset class performance done by Ibbotson. They are used to optimize portfolios, not to project client results. They are not meant as a forecast of any client s returns because they do not account for factors which would influence client performance such as how investment decisions are implemented in reality, future extreme market events, and trading costs and other costs of investing. The risks which are common to investing can undermine expected returns as predictors of market performance. LIFETIME WEALTH PORTFOLIOS wealth management solutions 07
