Market Volatility
• When the market becomes volatile, resist the temptation to pull out your funds
• Stay focused on a long-term investment strategy; “time” in the market, not “timing” the market
• Recoveries aren’t marked by an “all clear” sign• Missing only a few days in the market can impact
returns dramatically

Importance of Diversification• Diversification is critical, as it helps to
minimize the risk of large investment losses to the plan
• Most investments go through cycles, which include ups and downs
• Provides downside market protection with upside market participation

• Asset allocations can shift over time as one investment does well, making it a larger part of your total portfolio and exposing you to more risk than you’re willing to take
• Rebalancing ensures that your portfolio remains invested as you intended

Impact of Fees on Account BalanceInvesting More Dollars Makes a Lot of Sense
Lower costs can make a big difference over time. This hypothetical example illustrates the effect fees can have on $10,000 growing for 30 years, with an additional $200 contributed every other week, at an average return of 6%.

Considerations to Make Savings Last
Spend Wisely
• Make sure you have a realistic budget
• Live within your means
Have an Emergency Fund
• In addition to your retirement fund, you should have an emergency fund
• Suggested savings to cover 3-6 months of living expenses
Continue Investing
• Because you’re retired does not mean you should stop investing
• Keep all your options open
Consider Different Income
Options
• Many baby boomers intend to work after retirement
• Purchasing an annuity, like the MERS Stable Income Annuity, can provide a guaranteed monthly income for retirement
