Overview

For this assignment, you will assume the role of a financial planner who is advising their client on long-term investment planning, with the goal of having enough money to retire comfortably. You will use your finance/budgeting and forecasting skills to create an investment plan that is tailored to your client's needs. Your completed assignment will include recommendations based on your client's specific situation (age, employment status, retirement goals, etc.), which you will determine prior to developing the retirement plan.

  • A timeline of saving/withdrawals both before and after retirement

• Explain how the allocation of retirement assets will change as the client gets older and provide a recommendation for the amount of investment risk your client should take before and after retirement. Provide support for your response.
