There is a lot at stake when you make investment choices while in the "Red Zone".
Historical analysis shows that since 1927, the typical account based pension fund employing a sound balanced fund asset allocation strategy and starting with an initial 6% withdrawal rate would have failed to provide inflation-adjusted income for the average 20 – 30 years that today’s retiree expects to enjoy.
Studies show that 50% of retirees who base their retirement income on traditional account based pensions employing a balanced investment strategy will outlive their income.
One in five Australians will have no super left by the time that they reach the age of 70.
For some retirees, exposure to several economic downturns, years of poor returns and inflation has seen an even higher rate of income exhaustion.
