    Pre-requisite: Class participants should have at least one year of investment experience and a good understanding of high school math

    Join us for a comprehensive discussion in layman’s terms of how long-term retirement investment portfolios are constructed. This course gives the average investor the intellectual muscle to both understand and challenge their professional advisor’s recommendations and actions.

    Gain an in-depth understanding of optimal portfolio construction to either 1) gain the optimal level of annual average return at a pre-specified level of risk, or 2) minimize the potential risk of loss at a targeted level of future average annual return.

    This disciplined investment process is based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), the process utilized by the most sophisticated investment teams on Wall Street. While investment risk can never be completely eliminated, MPT has proven to be the best portfolio construction methodology for managing risk in pursuit of optimal portfolio performance since its design and inception in 1952.

    We will discuss financial education for retirees and planning your income for life. Post-retirement planning is often more difficult than planning for retirement.

In this course, you learn time-tested strategies for planning your retirement income that are designed to make your money last.
