In this episode of Family Office Insider, Jason sits down with Austin Vrabel, CFA, Wealth Advisor at Connor, Clark & Lunn Private Capital, to unpack one of the most misunderstood threats facing retirees: market volatility and the powerful effect of sequence of returns risk.

Using a real 28-year retirement scenario, Jason and Austin compare two portfolios, one with higher average returns but higher volatility, and another with more stability. The results are surprising and reveal why many DIY investors unintentionally put their retirement at risk by chasing performance.

They dive into:

• How volatility can permanently reduce your retirement income

• Why higher returns don’t always mean better outcomes

• The emotional traps that derail DIY investors

• How professional guidance can help protect your lifestyle in retirement

This episode is a must-listen for business owners preparing for retirement, recent sellers, or anyone who wants clarity around how markets actually impact retirement income.
