How Market Risk works
Market Risk lets you test your retirement plan against specific market shock scenarios. See how volatility and poor return periods affect your chance of success—all from the Projection Lab.
- • Decade Poor Returns — Simulate a long period of low returns (e.g. 2.5%).
- • Three-Year Poor Returns — Test a shorter poor-return window.
- • Market Downturns — Model sharp drops (e.g. -20%) and recovery.
- • Custom timing — Set start/end dates or use milestones (e.g. retirement).
- • Account selection — Apply scenarios to specific investment accounts.
- • Success probability — See how your plan holds up under stress.
