Full Name

Which one of the following best represents your current investment phase?

Accumulation Phase: Investor accumulates assets. There is a long time horizon and typically more risk can be tolerated since there is more time to achieve goals and objectives. Often there are short-term needs that must be considered (such as employment changes or the purchase of a home).

Consolidation Phase: Wealth often accumulates more rapidly during this phase as an investor's income typically outpaces expenses. Most large purchases and immediate cash needs have already been addressed. The time horizon until the next phase is getting progressively shorter.

Decumulation Phase: Typically known as retirement, wherein earned income has mostly, if not completely, ended and investment income from accumulated assets is now the primary source to pay living expenses. Risk tolerance tends to be considerably lower as volatility and fluctuations are less desirable. However, longer life expectancies can lead to longer time horizons and thus more risk may be necessary for potential growth opportunity to counter the effects of longer time horizons.
