You’ve completed the Risk Management and Accumulation phase successfully. You have avoided falling into a debt trap and have accumulated sufficient capital and assets to retire comfortably. Now you should concentrate on the following:

• You know how much income you can draw from your investment and how much this income can grow annually without depleting your savings over time.
• You understand which products are best suited to generating this income while remaining as tax effective as possible.
• You understand how much you can withdraw as a lump sum from your pension, provident, preservation, or retirement annuity fund, taking into account the tax implications and the advantages of having discretionary capital.
• You are aware of the importance of understanding your portfolio’s underlying asset allocation and that it should be evaluated frequently.
