Another very clear presentation. Thanks The issue I have with this approach is that it does not allow for handing on wealth to the next generation. I was very fortunate. My family came from very poor roots. My great grandfather made a substantial amount of wealth. He ensured that his children were well provided for. So it has gone on with every generation having a leg up. Is it an American thing to only think of oneself? They seem to promote this using your money up thing a lot. I cut my budget so the next generation can pass it on too. My maximum withdrawal are any gains less inflation to protect the capital. I live on a very modest income despite being able to afford more.

So we should be able to cut back with our portfolio spending in tough times.

Problem with this is looking at investment returns in the past. The last 30 years stock markets has done well, bonds well-ish, real estate well, gold poor, commodities poor. I suspect the next 30 years will be different. Probably gold better, bonds worse, stock market maybe small caps will be better as tracker funds seems to overinvest in the top stocks. i would say safe withdrawal rate is 3 to 3.5% as equity returns will probably will not be as good as the last 30 years. There is no getting away from having to making a call on what assets will do well in the next 30 years and allocating assets accordingly and hope you are right, Ofcourse the real answer is to start with £1M pension pot instead of a £500K then withdrawal rates don't matter so much -)

SWR in worst case scenario is not the only factor. You also want a portfolio that will do well in the 99% of other cases. What’s the best house I can own for $750,000 in a worst case scenario. It probably has a bomb shelter. But there’s a good chance that won’t be needed and building and maintenance of it come at a cost. In a normal scenario I could use the money for a home gym or pool and get much more enjoyment. So 20-30% gold may be great in a worst case scenario. But otherwise you’re likely to underperform. Look at other metrics as well.

Personally, I would favour a higher equity slanted fund throughout all of my life to max the the upside of better returns (personal risk profile accepted) and plan to deplete the pot to an amount which would cover 2-3 years of indexed care fees, which in today’s world would be £200- £300k. Additionally, the option of trading down to a smaller property or equity release would also be considered. The rise in property values over 20+ years of retirement would give the buffer for any mis calculations with overdrawing the fund.

the reason gold is so important is that over long periods it keeps up with real monetary inflation e.g. uk houses priced in gold are the same as the 1950s. Over a 30 year period you will have to not just keep up with cpi, price inflation indexes can be engineered to spit out low numbers.

It's appears to me that the concept of locking in a withdrawal rate for 30 years (whether inflation linked or not), while great for the analysis, is not representative of the real world. Most retirees will have an element of discretionary spending and will reduce their withdrawal rate if necessary in times of low returns to reduce the likelihood of running out of money . The 'safety guard' models that have been developed reflect this reality to some extent but also have to employ fixed rules to facilitate stochastic analysis.

Looking at returns from investments from the early 1900s might seem to cover all bases - e.g. wars - but I don't believe it does. The period from then to more now saw massive expansion of western populations with only short interruptions (wars). That is changing as we speak. The advanced countries in these studies are about to shrink, many are already shrinking. Some are currently keeping numbers up through immigration (the states, uk) but most will not. Populations are also shrinking in many developing countries - china, brazil etc. There are exceptions (India, west africa) but these are mostly under developed markets, are they enough to offset the depopulation in more advanced economies? With dwindling manpower a greater % of our wealth will go towards healthcare and pensions, likely leading to even higher taxes, meaning shrinking populations will have less individual spending power, leading to lower corporate profits. I have investments myself but I'm not expecting long term future returns to match those of the 20th century/early 21st century.

For all the drawdowners out there, here's an example. Two people retire at the start of 2000. Investor A places £100k in Murray International, a solid though unexceptional income fund that invests globally. Investor B invests the same sum in Herald I.T., a non-dividend paying global growth trust with a strong record of capital growth. Each year, Investor B sells shares in HRI equivalent to the dividend paid by MYI in the same year. Where are they 20 years later at the start of 2020? Investors A's holding in Murray International is now worth £250k and his annual income has trebled to over £10k per annum. Investor B had run out of money by 2016.

Oh. Those calculations assume you will only live as a retiree for 30. What do you do afterwards? I want to assume a worst case scenario of 70 years retired with a much higher inflation than the official numbers as essentials have much more inflationary pressure plus our expenses increase as we age if we already live a lean FIRE lifestyle, as we become less capable of saving on labor for things like fixing your house, car, cooking and gardening.
