“In this next phase of humanity, retirement planning conversations won’t be dominated by unicorn equity or that big boat purchase,” said Raj Udeshi, HiddenLevers Founder. “Advisors need to illustrate how coronavirus and the induced recession could impact cashflows, and then showcase how they can help prevent such retirement shortfalls.

The new feature set, which is already live, includes a goals builder, estate planning, income + liabilities, and a cashflows sandbox with adjustable assumptions.

Advisors can show the impact of good, bad, and ugly versions of scenarios like coronavirus pandemic, global recession, and a low rates environment.
“Stress testing is not just lobbing scenario bombs to gauge financial plan fragility,” said Audrey Satre, who works on HiddenLevers’ product team. “It’s also about explaining how the recovery plays out in future cashflows. Advisors can properly answer both sides of the relentless client question – what will the impact of coronavirus fallout be on my retirement?”
