44 Analytical Approach Is Essential SIO_Individuals_Aug 2006 Client Profile Financial Goals Assets Income Requirements Risk Tolerance Tax Rates Time Horizon Inputs Wealth Forecasting Model Simulated observations based on s proprietary capital markets research Assumes uncertainty in the future to determine a realistic range of outcomes Incorporates complex interrelationships among asset classes Takes into account current market conditions Considers historical patterns of returns without relying on averages What are the chances of meeting goals? The Wealth Forecasting System, one of the biggest R&D projects ever undertaken at our firm, is based upon our proprietary analysis of historical capital markets data over many decades. We looked at variables such as past returns, volatility, valuation ratios, and the correlations among them to address the planning questions our clients ask. The model s output is a vast range of possible outcomes relating to market asset classes, not portfolios that serve as grist for a client s decision-making mill. Of course, there is no assurance that any specific outcome suggested by the model will actually come to pass. But by quantifying the possibilities of achieving financial goals under changing, and sometimes extreme, capital markets conditions, the tool should help our clients make better choices.
