## Description

The Volatility Shield: How to Vanquish the 4% Rule & Maximize Your Retirement Income [McKnight, David] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Volatility Shield: How to Vanquish the 4% Rule & Maximize Your Retirement Income

Review: Another Masterpiece by David McKnight - Most people think that the primary value a financial professional brings to the table is increased investment performance. But the truth is that investment performance normally plays a very minor role in the overall financial success for most retirees. The most important factors that determine success or failure for most retirees is risk mitigation and income tax planning. David McKnight covered income tax strategies in his first book The Power of Zero. Now McKnight brilliantly illustrates risk mitigation in The Volatility Shield where he shows the main character going broke despite very acceptable investment returns and what seems to be a sustainable withdrawal rate. When I received my copy of the book I decide to read a chapter or two before putting it down and taking it home. Instead, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. It was refreshing that a book dedicated to some pretty hefty financial concepts was written as a financial novella. You actually get emotionally invested in the characters. While the story itself may be a bit far-fetched, the financial concepts are sound. And, most importantly, McKnight refrains from hyperbole which is often prevalent in these types of books.
Review: “The Stone the Builders Rejected Becomes the Cornerstone”. - I like the fact that Jane Fletcher kept the suspense growing, increasing Jack’s curiosity as he wonders what would become Ted’s end of life. I like how Jack, who discarded the idea of Permanent Life Insurance submits to a health screen required for approval or otherwise for a policy. He was was misconstrued about Permanent Life Insurance. Such an insightful and thought-provoking read. I love the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read for the advisor and client
*by A***X on May 31, 2019*

Great book. I work in financial advising, and while I don’t agree with everything to a “T” I think it talks about great concepts that are often over looked. The author does a great job presenting these concepts as a story and makes them very easy for a reader to understand. We have started sending a few books to some of our clients on there birthdays and I think this would be a great addition to the list.
