The Mathematics of SECURE—Where the Tax Law and Economics Collide (LISI e-Book)

Overview

The paradigm shift from life expectancy distributions to a 10-year distribution is at its core a mathematical problem.

Therefore, quantitative driven strategies can mitigate the impact of lost deferral. These strategies include Roth conversions, multi-generational trusts, life insurance, exception beneficiaries, and utilizing charitable remainder trusts.

Moreover, tried and true strategies to mitigate built-in income tax consequences of “inherited” IRAs gain importance with a 10-year rule.

In any case, there is a critical need for estate and financial planners to understand the mathematics.

This is not a manual designed to help only wealthy clients, but rather will provide advice for the mass-affluent and the truly wealthy.

Properly applied, these quantitative strategies will provide tremendous value and demonstrate expertise.
