Times like these are exactly why we build the plans the way we do. protecting you from the downside is the most important thing in retirement. protecting you from the downside also doesn’t mean that we’re not going to go up and down. It just means that we’re going to actively manage the money you have at risk in the market, so that we don’t take large drops. The market volatility that we’re experiencing right now is exactly why we use our plan designs, along with the algorithm to help make decisions on how to allocate the portfolio.

0:58
And as a matter of fact, in January, our algorithm signaled a change in allocation to your portfolio. And we made the portfolio’s less risky. So if the market continues to slide we have more protection. The other part of the planning model is also to protect some money by having some safe money utilizing fixed accounts with the annuities. And remember, those accounts can not lose money, the principles protected and the purpose is to help absorb the volatility we’re experiencing right now in the market. And that’s why I feel so good and confident about our approach. And we feel that what’s happening in the market right now is exactly why the plan designs work so well.

So we appreciate you if you have any concerns. You want to review your plan, please reach out. Please reach out to us and remember, this shall pass. Have a great day.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investment strategies have different degrees of risk and the corresponding potential for profit or loss. Asset allocation and diversification will not necessarily improve returns and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. “Target Drawdown” is merely a descriptive term used to describe the general strategy and objective of the portfolio, it is not a guarantee, nor should it be construed to suggest safety or protection from loss. There is no guarantee that portfolio performance will remain consistent with the targeted drawdown parameter. While risk tolerance and targeted “drawdown” are identified on the front end for each portfolio, Cabana’s algorithm does not take any one client’s situation into account and there is no guarantee that Cabana’s strategies will be suitable for any investor. Investors and advisors should not simply rely on the name of any portfolio to determine what is suitable. It is the responsibility of investment advisors to determine what is suitable for their clients. Cabana manages assets on multiple custodial platforms. Performance results for specific investors will vary based upon differences in associated costs and asset availability.

The COVID-19 health epidemic has had substantial global economic impact on financial markets. As of March of 2020, restrictions to travel and business spanning the economy for activities not deemed essential have been imposed throughout the United States. These restrictions have caused unprecedented volatility and uncertainty in capital markets and have negatively impacted the economy. It is unknown how severe the impact to the economy and capital markets will be if the epidemic persists for an extended period of time. The epidemic may have a material adverse impact on Cabana’s investment advisory business including, but not limited to, the performance of our portfolio strategies.
