The Sequence of Returns Risk Window Properly Understood
voice-verified
Okay, aside from the literature, we'll get back to the math because I respect your time and this math actually matters.

The concept is called sequence of returns risk, and it is one of the most consequential, least understood mathematical features of retirement.
voice-verified
Here's the basic idea.
voice-verified
The order in which your investment returns happen matters enormously in retirement in a way it really doesn't matter that much during accumulation.
voice-verified
During accumulation, when you're earning, saving, and not withdrawing, the order of your annual returns doesn't really matter.
voice-verified
A portfolio that returns plus 20%, plus 20%, negative 10%, plus 10, plus 10, over five years, ends up in the exact same place as one that returns negative 10%, positive 10%, positive 10%, positive 20%, positive 20%.
voice-verified
Same compound average, same ending balance.
voice-verified
But in retirement, when you're withdrawing the same dollar amount every year, regardless of what the market did, the order of those returns, unfortunately, changes everything.
