## THE 4% RULE EXPLAINED

```
THE ORIGINAL RESEARCH
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

THE TRINITY STUDY (1998):
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Researchers: Cooley, Hubbard, Walz
Analyzed: Historical returns 1926-1995
Question: What withdrawal rate survives 30 years?

FINDING:
4% initial withdrawal, inflation-adjusted annually
Had 95%+ success rate historically
For 50% stocks / 50% bonds portfolio

HOW IT WORKS:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Year 1: Withdraw 4% of initial portfolio
Example: $1,000,000 × 4% = $40,000

Year 2+: Adjust for inflation
If inflation is 3%: $40,000 × 1.03 = $41,200
Regardless of portfolio performance

THE APPEAL:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Simple to understand
Simple to implement
Historically robust
Became the "standard" rule

LIMITATIONS:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
• Based on historical US returns (best in world)
• Assumes 30-year retirement (what about 40?)
• Fixed spending may be too rigid
• Current low interest rate environment
• Ignores spending flexibility
• "Success" = $1 left at death (no legacy)
```

## WITHDRAWAL RATES BY SCENARIO

```
ADJUSTED SAFE WITHDRAWAL RATES
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

BY RETIREMENT LENGTH (90% success rate):
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
20 years: ~5.0%
25 years: ~4.5%
30 years: ~4.0%
35 years: ~3.7%
40 years: ~3.5%
50 years: ~3.2%

Early retiree at 50? Use 3.5%, not 4%

BY ASSET ALLOCATION:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
100% stocks: 4.0% (more volatile path)
75% stocks / 25% bonds: 4.0%
50% stocks / 50% bonds: 4.0%
25% stocks / 75% bonds: 3.5%
100% bonds: 3.0%

Sweet spot: 50-75% stocks historically

BY SUCCESS RATE TARGET:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
99% success: ~3.3%
95% success: ~3.7%
90% success: ~4.0%
85% success: ~4.3%
80% success: ~4.5%

More conservative? Lower rate.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT ADJUSTMENT:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Many researchers suggest 3.5% may be safer
Given lower expected returns
Higher stock valuations
Lower bond yields historically
```

## DYNAMIC WITHDRAWAL STRATEGIES

### Guardrails Method

```
GUARDRAILS / GUARDRAILS APPROACH
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

CONCEPT:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Set spending boundaries based on current portfolio
Adjust spending when hitting guardrails
More flexible than fixed 4%

EXAMPLE SETUP:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Initial withdrawal: 5% ($50,000 on $1M)
Upper guardrail: 6%
Lower guardrail: 4%

RULES:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Each year, calculate current withdrawal rate:
Current rate = This year's spending / Current portfolio value

If current rate > 6% (upper guardrail):
→ Cut spending by 10%

If current rate < 4% (lower guardrail):
→ Increase spending by 10%

Otherwise: Inflation-adjust normally

EXAMPLE YEAR-BY-YEAR:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Year 1: $1,000,000 portfolio, $50,000 spending (5%)
Year 2: Portfolio drops to $800,000
        $50,000 / $800,000 = 6.25% > 6% guardrail
        Cut spending 10%: New spending = $45,000
Year 3: Portfolio recovers to $950,000
        $45,000 / $950,000 = 4.7% (within guardrails)
        Inflation-adjust: $45,000 × 1.03 = $46,350

BENEFIT:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Higher initial spending than 4%
Adapts to market conditions
Much higher success rates
```

### Percentage of Portfolio

```
PERCENTAGE-OF-PORTFOLIO METHOD
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

CONCEPT:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Withdraw fixed percentage of CURRENT portfolio each year
Not inflation-adjusted initial amount

EXAMPLE (4% of current):
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Year 1: $1,000,000 × 4% = $40,000
Year 2: Portfolio drops to $800,000 → $32,000
Year 3: Portfolio rises to $1,200,000 → $48,000

PROS:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✓ Can NEVER run out of money (mathematically)
✓ Automatically adjusts to performance
✓ Simple to calculate

CONS:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Spending volatility is high
✗ Hard to budget when income varies 25%+
✗ May not cover fixed expenses in down years

HYBRID APPROACH:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4% of portfolio, with floor and ceiling:
• Minimum: $35,000 (floor)
• Maximum: $55,000 (ceiling)

Provides some variability with limits
```

## FACTORS AFFECTING YOUR RATE

```
PERSONALIZING YOUR WITHDRAWAL RATE
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

FACTORS THAT ALLOW HIGHER RATE:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✓ Shorter retirement (health issues, later retirement)
✓ Social Security covers most needs
✓ Pension income
✓ Willing to cut spending if needed
✓ Part-time work option
✓ Home equity as backup
✓ OK with lower legacy

FACTORS REQUIRING LOWER RATE:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✓ Early retirement (long horizon)
✓ Little guaranteed income
✓ No spending flexibility
✓ Want to leave large legacy
✓ Risk-averse
✓ Healthcare cost concerns
✓ Single (no survivor benefits)

SUGGESTED STARTING POINTS:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Very conservative: 3.0-3.5%
Conservative: 3.5-4.0%
Moderate: 4.0-4.5%
Aggressive: 4.5-5.0%
With flexibility built in: 5.0-6.0% (guardrails)
```

## QUICK REFERENCE

WITHDRAWAL RATE QUICK CALCULATIONS
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

PORTFOLIO NEEDED FOR $X INCOME:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
At 3.5%: $X × 28.6 ($40K needs $1.14M)
At 4.0%: $X × 25 ($40K needs $1.00M)
At 4.5%: $X × 22.2 ($40K needs $889K)
At 5.0%: $X × 20 ($40K needs $800K)

INCOME FROM $1,000,000 PORTFOLIO:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
At 3.5%: $35,000/year
At 4.0%: $40,000/year
At 4.5%: $45,000/year
At 5.0%: $50,000/year

ADD SOCIAL SECURITY:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Portfolio income + SS = Total retirement income
$40,000 + $24,000 SS = $64,000 total
```

## BEST PRACTICES

### Do's ✅
1. **Start conservative** - Can always increase later
2. **Plan for flexibility** - Guardrails approach helps
3. **Include all income** - SS, pension, part-time
4. **Stress test** - What if market crashes year 1?
5. **Review annually** - Adjust as needed
6. **Consider longevity** - Plan for 95, not 85

### Don'ts ❌
1. **Don't blindly use 4%** - It's a starting point
2. **Don't ignore sequence risk** - First years matter most
3. **Don't lock in fixed spending** - Flexibility is valuable
4. **Don't forget taxes** - $40K gross ≠ $40K net
5. **Don't ignore inflation** - Purchasing power erodes
6. **Don't set it and forget it** - Monitor and adjust
