- 1:11you both along. Great to have you back, Nate. And I wish
- 1:14I always you know, I we love talking with Malie and I wish she
- 1:17was here this morning because I think she's got a lot to do with the
- 1:19website. You guys update the website pictures, and I'm the one that always
- 1:23points out on the website pictures good. There's a picture of slices of watermelon
- 1:29which looked delicious with mint leaves on them. And I'm curious, have you
- 1:33either of you had watermelon with mint leaves on set? Watermelons? Nope,
- 1:38nope, but it sounds good. Does sound good? Nate, you're a
- 1:42nope as well. Yeah, a little sugar, a little salt. I've
- 1:44done both of those, but never admit. So if the when is when
- 1:48Malia's back with us next week, I'll ask her about that. These are
- 1:51the important things that we tackling. I thought, Sean, you're going to
- 1:55talk about my golf slice. Yeah, my slice on the golf course.
- 1:59I thought a picture of me swinging a lead last night. Oh yeah,
- 2:04well that so it's interesting you mention that too as we talk about the different
- 2:08all the advisors and getting to know everybody. One of the cool things I
- 2:12know Nate, when you go to your photo on the page, you're also
- 2:15a skier as well, so uh so well rounded. Yeah, I got
- 2:19a little summer a little winter activity as well. We've got an important and
- 2:23a really good conversation d We're going to be talking about some advanced planning topics
- 2:27when it comes to financial planning topics with CJ and Nate this week. Phone
- 2:30lines are open if you've got a question six oh eight three two one thirteen
- 2:35ten. That's six soh eight three two one thirteen ten before we get rolling
- 2:38on this week's conversation. Other really cool thing that goes on on the program
- 2:42is the Class Quiz Question the week. Your chance to win a fantastic prize
- 2:46this week is no exception. Our friends from Class Financial have provided a twenty
- 2:50five dollars gift cards to target. Tell you but later on the program,
- 2:53how you can win that. A little tip is oftentimes both the question and
- 2:55answer to the Class Quiz question week come up during the program, so it
- 3:00pays in multiple ways to listen closely, and again we'll tell you a little
- 3:04bit a little bit later on all the details on how you can win that.
- 3:07And before we get rolling on this week's conversation, let's actually look back
- 3:10at last week's program, the class quiz question the week at the question and
- 3:14answer there as well. Nate Yes, and as always, thanks everyone for
- 3:19listening, and congrats to our winner from last week, Joel of Madison,
- 3:23who correctly answered the question which was a fill in the blank question asking asset
- 3:30allocation in your portfolio is typically comprised of stocks, bonds, and the correct
- 3:37answer was cash. So thanks again Joel for calling in grilly really good program
- 3:42last week as well. If you missed any of that show, or miss
- 3:45say today's program, don't forget. You can always listen back at classfinancial dot
- 3:49com. That's closs k l aas financial dot com. So the folks,
- 3:53today's program is surrounding some areas of some advanced financial planning topics and what are
- 3:59some of those CJ Some of those topics or concepts our listeners should understand as
- 4:03they plan for a successful retirement. Yeah, good question. Sean and I
- 4:10have one of our financial planning what we call super nerds on the air with
- 4:13me today in Nate Briby, and so we were as we were preparing for
- 4:16the show, we decided to kind of kick it up a notch and focus
- 4:19on some more advanced financial planning topics and concepts that people should be considering as
- 4:25they plan for a successful long term retirement. Now, many of our listeners
- 4:30have heard us kind of regurgitate basic financial planning topics over the years, but
- 4:35for today, you will be hearing topics and concepts that we have never discussed
- 4:41on the air over the past fifteen years we've been doing the show. Therefore,
- 4:44if you've been listening for quite a while, listen closely because you'll probably
- 4:47learn something new today. But during today's program, we will be covering the
- 4:51following three topics. Topic number one will be around nominal returns versus real returns
- 4:59and how critical they are in long term financial planning assumptions and projections. Topic
- 5:04number two will be around arithmetic versus geometric means and how important they are in
- 5:11managing expectations and in building a reasonable retirement portfolio distribution. Rate, and topic
- 5:17number three will be around sequence of returns, risk in the early years of
- 5:21retirement, and how to mitigate the risk with acid allocation. This is going
- 5:26to be They're always good, but this is going to be especially interesting.
- 5:30I'm looking forward to getting into all three of those topics. So and it
- 5:33sounds like we're in for a heck of a treat So, Nate, let's
- 5:35begin with that first topic, nominal returns versus real returns. What if folks
- 5:41need to know there? Yep, Let's begin with a simple definition of nominal
- 5:46returns, which is the total rate of return earned on an investment before deducting
- 5:50things like inflation, taxes, and fees. Basically, you can think of
- 5:55a nominal return as the gross rate of return. Conversely, real returns are
- 6:02accounting for taxes and inflation, so this is the net return which actually increases
- 6:08your purchasing power, which is key. Therefore, real returns will always be
- 6:14lower than nominal returns. Talking this morning with CJ. Closs and Nate Briby
- 6:20and talking this week about some brand new topics something we haven't talked about in
- 6:26the past, which is some advanced planning topics. Don't forget if you've got
- 6:29a question for CJ or Nate. Love to have you this morning three two
- 6:32one thirteen ten. That's three two one thirteen ten. You can learn more
- 6:35about Class Financial online at cossfinancial dot com. That's coss k l AA S
- 6:41Financial dot com at telph number six o eight four four two five six three
- 6:45seven. No charge for that initial get to know your appointment at Class Financial.
- 6:47It will be complementary to you again their number six oh eight three two
- 6:51one thirteen ten. Nate, sounds like you cut out a little bit there,
- 6:55uh, but should be back and what were you saying there? Yep?
- 6:59So on. Inflation is known as the silent killer, erodes the purchasing
- 7:03power of your money over long periods of time. Simple examples of inflation can
- 7:09be seen when comparing the cost of a gallon of milk in nineteen seventy four,
- 7:13which was believe it or not, seventy two gallon seventy two cents for
- 7:16a gallon, versus a gallon of milk today in twenty four, averaging closer
- 7:20to three dollars. So obviously a gallon of milk has the same utility function
- 7:26we call it fifty years later, but it simply costs more. Now,
- 7:30year after year, you may hardly recognize the impact of modest inflation, but
- 7:35decade over decade, the compounding effect has huge impacts. When building a retirement
- 7:41plan, you must account for this reduction and purchasing power. Given that inflation
- 7:46has averaged about three percent per year over the past one hundred years, we
- 7:49can use the rule of seventy two and determine that your dollar today will lose
- 7:55fifty percent of its purchasing power in just twenty four years. Therefore, it
- 8:01is imperative for retirees to keep their assets growing at at least the rate of
- 8:05inflation, which, if you're falling along, would be a real return of
- 8:09actually zero. As a side note, one of the biggest errors we see
- 8:13with DIY investors is using nominal returns in their calculations. They may simply open
- 8:20up Excel and do a future value calculation with nominal returns and say, if
- 8:24I add this much to my four O one K for twenty years and earn
- 8:28six percent, I will retire with this much money, which may be true
- 8:33if the return assumption holds, but one million dollars today and twenty years does
- 8:37not excuse me one million dollars in twenty years is not worth one million dollars
- 8:41today because of inflation. Once again, the tricky part is that you may
- 8:46not see the detrimental effect of this compounding inflation until later into your eighties or
- 8:52nineties. Fantastic stuff and real quick, Nate, your your connection kind of
- 8:58cut out there that we're talking that previous question just about about kind of the
- 9:03difference of nominal versus real returns and is there kind of a way to kind
- 9:07of really break that down, kind of make those make those definitions as simple
- 9:13as possible. Yeah, yep, yep. So once again, real returns
- 9:18are returns after accounting for inflation, fees, and taxes. So a nominal
- 9:24returner would be a gross return saying I make eight percent on an investment,
- 9:28you know, but you have to subtract out three percent for inflation. So
- 9:31maybe you're your real return is closer to five percent or somewhere closer to that
- 9:35number. Really important stuff to uh to know and understand some very interesting concepts
- 9:41as well. As we talk this week with CJ. Coss and Nate Bribe,

- 10:37that first segment, by the way, you missed a lot. I definitely
- 10:41urge you to go back and listen at Cossfinancial dot com. That's coss k
- 10:46l Aasfinancial dot com. Nate was kind of explaining the importance of real returns
- 10:50and what they what the effect they have on net inflation. It was it
- 10:56was pretty There's a lot of information there. Again, even if even if
- 10:58you were paying attention, you probably want to listen back at colssfinancial dot com
- 11:03or tough one number to make an appointment six oh eight four four two five
- 11:05six three seven. No charge. That initial gets to know your appointment and
- 11:09conversation at COSS financial. It will be complementary to you again their number six
- 11:13oh eight four four two five six three seven. I mentioned the website class
- 11:16financial dot com. That's coss k l a as financial dot com. So
- 11:20CJ what do folks need to know about topic number two regarding a rhythmic arithmetic
- 11:28versus geometric mean calculations? And I also feel like I needed a dictionary or
- 11:35some type of high level pronouncer per pronouncer this is, I know, so
- 11:39it's arithmetic versus geometric mean calculation. So as I get into the section,
- 11:45just to re reemphasize what Nate was just going over there. So often when
- 11:48you like watch a watch a video, a YouTube reel or a little financial
- 11:54expert saying if you just stop drinking your Starbucks and take that three dollars a
- 11:58day and put it in something earning eight percent, you're gonna end up with,
- 12:03you know whatever, a million dollars by the time you retire. That
- 12:05is almost always, not always, but almost always a nominal return calculation,
- 12:13okay, And so your brain is calculating the value of the million dollars in
- 12:18the future in today's purchasing power. Now, as n A just went through,
- 12:22you can't do that. You cannot do that because fifty years down the
- 12:26line, when you get to retirement and you made that fifty year decision not
- 12:30to buy a Starbucks, which by the way, I support that decision.
- 12:31I'm just saying you need to understand the accurate calculation of that, because it
- 12:37is not the nominal return that will impact your purchasing power. It is the
- 12:41real return that is nominal minus inflation, taxes and fees. So when you
- 12:46run these calculations, as you can imagine for people like us, we're running
- 12:48twenty thirty, forty year calculations all the time, and people don't come to
- 12:54us for a hypothetical view of retirement. They come to us for an accurate
- 12:58calculator of where they can be. They come to us to find out if
- 13:03they should retire, right, and these are decisions that you cannot reverse on.
- 13:07So I just cannot emphasize to you all enough. If a gallon of
- 13:11milk can go from seventy two cents to three point fifty, or if a
- 13:15home can go for thirty five thousand dollars to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
- 13:20an average cost of a home, then it means there is something in this
- 13:24nominal versus real calculation. And so you know, big push here on what
- 13:28Nate just mentioned. You must must must be doing real return calculations when you
- 13:35are projecting for retirement. Okay, now, if your heads aren't spinning enough
- 13:39on that kind of nominal versus real return topic, then I'll be sure to
- 13:43get them spinning now as we talk about arithmetic versus geometric mean calculations. So,
- 13:48like my colleague Nate did on the last topic, let me begin with
- 13:52a simple definition. According to Investopedia, an arithmetic mean is the sum of
- 13:56a series of numbers divide by the number of items in that series. In
- 14:03more common language, we generally refer to this as the average of a data
- 14:07set. In investment or portfolio return calculations, we often refer to this as
- 14:13the average return of an investment or portfolio over long periods of time. Okay,
- 14:18so simple enough again, arithmetic mean, what are we talking about here?
- 14:22An average of a series of data sets? And then what does that
- 14:24mean? In portfolio management the average return if you're taking like an annual return
- 14:30over a long period of time. But conversely, according to Investopedia, a
- 14:35geometric mean is calculated by taking the product of these numbers and raising it to
- 14:39the inverse of the length of the series. The geometric mean is best used
- 14:46to calculate the average of a series of data where each item has some relationship
- 14:50to the others due to serial correlation. Now most of you are going,
- 14:54oh my gosh, what are you talking about, So let me give this
- 14:58to you more simplistically. When evaluating an investment return or portfolio return of a
- 15:03grouping of investments, it's critical to use geometric mean calculations given that they account
- 15:11for the impact of prior earnings and compounding. The geometric mean considers the compounding
- 15:16that occurs from period to period, whereas the arithmetic mean does not. The
- 15:22longer the time horizon, the more critical the compounding becomes, and the more
- 15:26appropriate the use of what's called a geometric mean. So imagine talking about investment
- 15:33returns but removing the positive or negative impact of compounding. Nobody would do that.
- 15:39As a matter of fact, everybody says you invest because of compounding.
- 15:43Right. So the reality is when you hear somebody talk about average returns of
- 15:48the market, they're often talking about the arithmetic mean. When somebody says I'm
- 15:52going to use that the geometric mean calculation of the markets over time, they're
- 15:58taking into effect the positive or negative compound. Talking this morning with CJ.
- 16:02Closs and Nate Briby are retirement planning professionals from Class Financial. You thought school
- 16:07was out silly, getting a great education this morning from CJ and Nate.
- 16:11Don't forget if you miss any part of the program. You can always listen
- 16:14back at classfinancial dot com. That's css K l a a AS financial dot
- 16:18com And they're telephon number six oh eight four four two five six three seven.
- 16:22No charge for that initial gets to know you appointment ach Class Financial.
- 16:26It will be complimentary to you again their number six oh eight four four two
- 16:30five, six, three seven. It's great stuff, cj In and really
- 16:33good information. Let's kind of then bring it back around to what has to
- 16:37do with planning for a successful long term retirement? Yeah, yeah, good
- 16:42point, John. It's like, that's interesting, but what does this have
- 16:45to do so great question. The reason this matters is because you will experience
- 16:52the geometric mean when investing in stocks and bonds over a long period of time
- 16:56due to the correlations volatility and come pounding. You will not experience the arithmetic
- 17:03mean. So if somebody just says, oh, the stock market is average
- 17:07twelve percent per year, since you know whatever whenever that is, they're often
- 17:11talking about the arithmetic mean, which, interestingly enough, that may be a
- 17:15fascinating data point, But if you had invested in the stock market over that
- 17:19timeframe, you wouldn't have experienced that. So let that sink in everybody.
- 17:23If somebody says, oh, the average of the S and P five hundred
- 17:26is twelve percent per year, that's fine. That's fine, but if you
- 17:30had actually put money into it, you wouldn't have experienced that. So therefore
- 17:34you and your advisor must be using geometric mean return assumptions minus inflation and taxes
- 17:44over long periods of time to accurately project your ability to retire. You can't
- 17:48just take the average of a long dataset of the market and say that's what
- 17:52I'm going to experience, because that, again, that is stripping out the
- 17:56impact of compounding, positive or negative. So all too often we see people
- 18:02working on their own with an uneducated advisor, you using broken tools to create
- 18:07broken projections that lead to broken outcomes. I assure you that we are not
- 18:11trying to scare you into believing us or working with us. I assure you,
- 18:15but we have just seen too many mistakes made by novice mathematicians or advisors
- 18:21when it comes to making life altering decisions like when to retire. So let
- 18:26me give you a simple example of this. Because you might be going arithmetic
- 18:30geometric, like, how would this actually show up? Here's here's the simple
- 18:33example. The arithmetic mean, or the average return of the S and P
- 18:37five hundred from nineteen twenty six to twenty twenty two, about one hundred years
- 18:42when not accounting for the impact of serial correlation and compounding, is twelve percent.
- 18:48I'm going to repeat that from nineteen twenty six to twenty twenty two.
- 18:52The S and P five hundred average return is twelve percent. If you take
- 18:56a twelve percent arithmetic mean, which is a nominal calculation minus a three percent
- 19:02inflation assumption, while ignoring the impact of taxes, you end up with a
- 19:06nine percent real rate of return on the S and P five hundred over that
- 19:08timeframe. However, conversely, over that same timeframe, simply by changing the
- 19:15calculation to a geometric mean, which does account for serial correlation on compounding,
- 19:21we end up closer to ten percent, which is what an investor would actually
- 19:25experience if they were invested in the S and P five hundred over one hundred
- 19:27year timeframe, not the previous twelve percent. So therefore, if you take
- 19:33a twelve percent geometric mean nominal calculation minus a three percent inflation assumption while ignoring
- 19:40the impact of taxes, you end up with a seven percent real return or
- 19:44net return of the S and P five hundred, And as you can imagine,
- 19:48if we are doing projections for clients and saying and just being lazy about
- 19:52the calculation, and we're using a nine percent instead of a seven percent return
- 19:56assumption or over thirty forty years of retirement, well I cannot emphasize you enough
- 20:03how off we would be in our calculations. And it's not even a matter
- 20:07of you might go, well, you're projecting the future you'll never know.
- 20:11No, I know that it's an unknown future, but we're actually using a
- 20:15broken tool. The calculation that we had done in the prior one using the
- 20:18twelve percent number isn't anything you could ever experience because it's ignoring compounding and serial
- 20:25correlation. So here's the point, everybody, if you're going to do long
- 20:29term projections of savings rates or long term projections of a retirement plan, please
- 20:33please please make sure you are number one, working with an advisor who understands
- 20:38nominal versus real returns and number two understands geometric versus arithmetic return calculations. It
- 20:47will cause significant harm if you're running calculations without accounting for those two factors.
- 20:52Really highlights the importance of working with folks that are experienced and have expertise and
- 20:57understanding retirement planning when you're when you're putting this this plan together. As we
- 21:02talk with CJ and Night this week, I've been talking about kind of building
- 21:04that building, that nest egg, building that snowball what happens when it comes
- 21:08to kind of taking that withdrawals and other things you probably heard of the term
- 21:12sequence of returns and the risk secrets of sequence of returns risk. We're gonna
- 21:17get the details from Nate and that in just a moment. We'll also do
- 21:19the Coss Quiz question of the week. In the meantime, you haven't been
- 21:22to the website Coss Financial dot com, head on over there check it out

- 21:42seven. More of money in Motion with Coss Financial is next right here on
- 21:45thirteen ten wib A talking with our retirement planning professional CJ. Coss and Nate
- 21:53Briby, of course, is his money in Motion with Coss Financial. Their
- 21:56website costs Financial dot com. That's Coss k Laasfinancial dot com. Tel for
- 22:02a number four four to two five six three seven. Okay, So final
- 22:06thing for today is uh sequence of returns and understanding sequence of returns risk in
- 22:11the early years of retirement. What do we need to know there, Nate,
- 22:15Yep, everyone hang on because this is my favorite, one of my
- 22:18favorite topics. So, starting with a simple definition, sequence of returns risk
- 22:23is the risk that the order can negatively impact a portfolio's ability to replenish itself.
- 22:32So basically, it matters if you receive positive returns first early in retirement
- 22:37or negative returns. In fact, using a statistical regression analysis, retirement researcher
- 22:44wigde Foul determined that fifty three percent of retirement outcomes can be explained by the
- 22:49returns or retiree receives in the first five years of retirement. Okay, so
- 22:56another statistical jargon. These first five years of returns have a high explanatory power
- 23:02towards your retirement success. Knowing this, I'm not sure this risk gets as
- 23:06much attention as it requires. So if you followed CJ's last part in geometric
- 23:11returns, you understand the importance of secret risks. Since investment returns compound,
- 23:15the previous year's return affects the amount of growth in dollar terms during future years.
- 23:21This is much like scoring and bowling a strike followed by another strike,
- 23:26or than a strike followed by hitting only five pins. And another example,
- 23:32if you invest one hundred dollars and lose twenty percent, you must make twenty
- 23:36five percent to get back to the one hundred dollars, not just twenty percent.
- 23:41So if we look at this concept when it comes to withdrawing money from
- 23:42a portfolio, imagine two retirees, both starting with a million dollars, taking
- 23:48out fifty thousand dollars nominally at the beginning of each year retire one would experience,
- 23:57say retire one experiences a plus fifteen percent returning year one, plus five
- 24:03percent returning year two, and minus fifth. After three years, he would
- 24:08have about eight hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars. Now, if you take
- 24:12retire two, who experiences the same three returns, just an opposite order,
- 24:18so negative fifteen first, plus five, and then plus fifteen, he would
- 24:22have only eight hundred and fifty seven thousand after three years. So clearly there's
- 24:26a thirty thousand dollars difference there. Now, just like the compounding of inflation,
- 24:32this may seem like a small difference now, but if we continue with
- 24:34this example, if both retirees aren't exactly five percent per year going forward.
- 24:40Retire E two would actually run out of money four years sooner than retire e
- 24:44one. So the first thing our listeners should determine is if they have high
- 24:49sequence risk. To put some numbers to this, if you expect to withdraw
- 24:53more than six percent of your portfolio for the first two to five years of
- 24:59retirement, we would say that you have a high risk of sequence risk.
- 25:03The good news is that there are ways to mitigate this risk by being strategic
- 25:07with your acid allocation. Retirees could consider holding a larger portion of cash,
- 25:12CDs, short term bonds, or even period certain immediate annuities. The optimal
- 25:18strategy would be to spend down these buffer assets early in retirement and let your
- 25:23stocks grow and recover from any volatility. Now, this may be unnecessary if
- 25:30you anticipate a lower withdrawal rate throughout retirement. Another way to mitigate this risk,
- 25:34although not our favorite, would be claiming social security or pension earlier than
- 25:40planned to take pressure off the portfolio. Most times we have clients start by
- 25:45drawing down on their and actually deferring social security to see what sequence of returns
- 25:51they get. If they experience a positive sequence, we keep spending from the
- 25:55portfolio. However, if negative returns are experienced, we may suggest claiming solid
- 26:00security to reduce pressure on the portfolio. Fascinating stuff this week. There was
