After your client or prospect takes a Goals-based Retirement Assessment, the next step is to view the results and make an investment recommendation with the highest probability of achieving their retirement goals all things considered.

Understanding Your Goals Assessment Results

Select a client > click Assessments > click Goals > View Results:
The results page will show the client how their current portfolio is tracking towards achieving their retirement goals, the required wealth to retire at the desired age, and the probability of success:
The Wealth Growth chart shows how your wealth will grow over time from your current age until your desired retirement age.
TIFIN Wealth will run a scenario analysis that gives the client Personalized Recommendations for increasing savings, reducing saves, adjusting your retirement age, or increasing / decreasing your risk levels in order to maximize your results.
1. For example, you might be able to reduce your savings and invest the excess funds and still achieve your retirement goals.
2. Conversely, you may need to adjust your retirement age to later in life in order to achieve the required wealth desired to in your retirement goal.
By clicking "Optimize my portfolio's ability more!", TIFIN Wealth will pivot from using the client's current portfolio to tapping into the portfolio optimizer that recommends a model based upon their assessment drivers:
Now on the Recommendations tab, we can see that the optimizer is taking into account the client's risk band + optimizing for their retirement goals as denoted by both Assessment Drivers being checked on in the top right:
1. Additionally, we can see that the recommended portfolio has increased the odds of achieving the required wealth for retirement and increased the forecasted ending value of the client's portfolio by $140,801.
Use the tabs across the top of the page to see a Summary of the recommended model, view the underlying holdings, analyze performance, and compare the current portfolio to the recommended model:
Click Generate Proposal in the top right corner to review the proposal and make any adjustments to the page titles or reports included before downloading and sending to your client or prospect.
