Retirement + Portfolio Decision Report

Build a personalized retirement report for serious Canadian DIY investors nearing retirement

Data by Kevin turns your retirement and portfolio assumptions into a personalized decision report. Stress-test retirement timing, spending, CPP/OAS, Monte Carlo survivability, portfolio volatility, cash reserve tradeoffs, sensitivity analysis, and tax-aware withdrawals across RRSP, TFSA, and taxable accounts.

The core benefit
Instead of giving you one final retirement number, the report shows which decision is driving the risk: retirement timing, spending, portfolio volatility, cash reserve, CPP/OAS assumptions, or withdrawal order — and what scenario you should test next.

It is designed to help answer a practical question: is the plan fragile because of weak assets, high spending, poor timing, tax sequencing, or portfolio volatility near retirement?

This retirement planning report is built for Canadian investors who want more than a basic calculator. It helps organize the moving parts behind retirement readiness, including RRSP, TFSA, taxable accounts, CPP/OAS income, portfolio risk, cash reserve decisions, and sequence-of-returns risk.

Educational planning model only. Not individualized financial, investment, tax, legal, or retirement advice. No result is a guarantee of future performance.

What this page is trying to answer

Before entering assumptions, this page explains what the personalized retirement report is, who it helps, what it includes, and how to move from the free sample to the paid CAD $29 report.

1
What is this report?

It is a personalized retirement and portfolio decision-support report. It turns planner outputs into a plain-English summary of retirement risk, portfolio tradeoffs, withdrawal sequencing, and next scenarios to test.

2
Who is it for?

It is built for serious DIY investors, especially people within roughly 5–15 years of retirement who want to test timing, spending, portfolio risk, cash reserve, and withdrawal strategy.

3
What problem does it solve?

Most retirement calculators show one smooth projection. This report helps identify what is actually driving the risk: weak assets, high spending, poor timing, portfolio volatility, cash drag, sequence risk, or tax-aware withdrawal sequencing.

4
What does the sample report include?

The sample shows the report format: executive summary, base projection, Monte Carlo risk, Portfolio Lab interpretation, cash reserve tradeoff, sensitivity priorities, and tax-aware withdrawal mapping.

5
How is it different from a normal calculator?

It does not stop at one final number. It compares risk drivers and explains which assumption deserves attention first, so users can decide what scenario to test next.

What makes this different from a simple calculator?

A basic calculator usually shows one smooth projection. This report tries to show what can break the plan: poor sequence of returns, excessive volatility, high spending, weak tax sequencing, cash drag, or sensitivity to retirement timing.

Monte Carlo survivability

Shows whether the plan survives many return paths, not just one average-return path.

Portfolio risk connection

Connects portfolio return and volatility to retirement success, downside risk, and sequence pressure.

Tax-aware withdrawal map

Compares Taxable, TFSA, and RRSP/RRIF sequencing to show whether account order may materially change the result.

Next-action ranking

Turns the output into clear next tests, such as retirement age, spending, volatility, or tax sequencing.

Portfolio Lab Engine

Portfolio choice becomes retirement planning

Portfolio Lab helps connect the retirement plan to how the money is actually invested, instead of asking users to guess one return rate in isolation.

It can estimate return and volatility, review drawdowns, explore allocation styles, and compare how different portfolio assumptions affect retirement survivability.

📈 Return + volatility 📉 Downside paths 🧩 Scenario testing 💵 Cash reserve tradeoff
ML Guide

Explore allocation styles such as core index, growth, value, income, real assets, and cash before applying assumptions to the planner.

Return + Drawdown

Review CAGR, volatility, historical return profile, and drawdown behavior before trusting a return input.

Cash Reserve Testing

Compare whether cash reserve improves sequence-risk protection or creates too much cash drag.

Scenario Comparison

Compare retirement age, spending, return assumptions, volatility, and tax sequencing side by side.

Questions the report helps organize

The report does not guarantee an answer. It organizes the major planning tradeoffs so the next scenario is clearer.

• Am I relying too much on the smooth average path?
• How much does volatility affect my Monte Carlo success?
• Does holding cash help or hurt under this plan?
• Which assumption has the largest dollar impact?
• Could withdrawal order affect after-tax ending wealth?
• Which next scenario should I test first?
