Optiml™ dynamic planner
Jim followed a standard withdrawal strategy for his retirement savings, unknowingly paying more in taxes than necessary.
Audrey used her Optiml™ plan, which identified the right time and amount to withdraw, maximizing her tax savings.
Too bad Jim is following an outdated plan and can't quickly update it to reflect this year's significant changes to taxation rules.
Audrey was alerted early enough to make meaningful plan adjustments using the new rules to her benefit.
Jim received a raise and wanted to adjust his financial plan to take full advantage of the extra income. But he had to wait on his financial planner to create a new plan, and was only given a paper copy, limiting his ability to make further adjustments.
Audrey, in the same situation, quickly logged into Optiml™ and updated her plan herself, maximizing her new earnings immediately and with ongoing flexibility.
