Benz will discuss the “bucket strategy” for retirement portfolio planning, or building a portfolio based on expected withdrawals. She will answer questions such as: How much can you withdraw each year, and where should you withdraw it from? How do you maintain a bucket system on an ongoing basis, and what happens if your portfolio consists of multiple silos— taxable accounts, traditional IRA, taxable, and Roth IRA.

Morningstar’s Benz will discuss the benefits and challenges this strategy offers, as well as results of some “stress tests” she conducted of her model bucket portfolios on Morningstar.com.
