Executive Summary

  • An effective retirement income solution requires a manager to first understand plan participants’ needs and then construct a strategy that weighs the factors and trade-offs that can influence outcomes.
  • Fidelity’s Managed Cash Flow withdrawal strategy helps balance participants’ preferences for high current income, regular payments, ongoing liquidity, and a positive lifetime asset balance.
  • Once selected for addition by a DC retirement plan sponsor, the Managed Cash Flow strategy can be offered as an installment distribution option to the plan’s participants.
  • The Managed Cash Flow strategy, when paired with a diversified investment portfolio, empowers retirement plan participants with an innovative, research-driven tool to help them achieve a successful retirement outcome.
