Opinion vs. Contract Assets: Building a Volatility Buffer for Retirement
In this episode of Optimize Your Retirement, tax attorney Daniel Razvi and Imran “Raz” Razvi of Higher Ground Financial Group explain the critical difference between “opinion assets” tied to market performance and “contract assets” designed to provide stability and protection. They introduce the concept of a “volatility buffer” strategy, showing how balancing risk-based investments with protected assets may help retirees manage market downturns, potentially increase sustainable withdrawal rates, and create more predictable retirement income. The discussion also highlights the importance of timing risk near retirement, the limitations of the traditional 4% rule, and how thoughtful planning around taxes, fees, and risk can help individuals pursue a more confident and secure retirement.
