Webinar: Retirement Planning—How to Plan Your Withdrawals

Dear Community,


We’re hosting another webinar, this time on the topic of withdrawal planning for retirement.

During the accumulation phase, it can make sense to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio with a higher allocation to stocks, especially when you have a long investment horizon. However, as you transition into retirement, your risk profile changes: Once money is withdrawn regularly from the portfolio, it’s no longer just the average return that matters, but also the order in which gains and losses occur.


Particularly weak market phases at the beginning of the withdrawal period can significantly impair a portfolio’s long-term sustainability. This so-called return sequence risk should therefore be factored into retirement planning early on.

In this webinar, we’ll show you how to prepare your portfolio for the withdrawal phase, which withdrawal strategies are suitable, and how to realistically determine your personal retirement gap. We’ll also discuss the key factors needed to make a well-informed transition into retirement with a clear plan.


We invite you to join us on Thursday, August 20, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to a live webinar.


Together, we’ll discuss:

  • the order-of-returns risk and why the first few years of withdrawals can be particularly crucial,
  • financial planning for retirement and realistically determining your retirement gap,
  • building a robust portfolio that can better cushion withdrawals even during market downturns,
  • different withdrawal strategies and their respective pros and cons.


At the end, there will be plenty of time for your questions.


You can register here: https://luma.com/sfwcag1j


I look forward to seeing you there.

Christian

Is there a way to watch the webinar at a later time yet?

There was some talk about slides and such, but we haven't heard anything more about it.

@Alpalaka They had said they would send the slides, etc., via email after the last webinar (since you had to register there using your email address). At least I didn't receive any slides via email.😅🤷🏼‍♂️

@Alpalaka I work in corporate communications, so this totally unprofessional way of communicating about the webinars really gets under my skin. I don't understand how people can't just say what's going on 🤷🏼‍♂️

We've resent the slides from last time, this time manually. Please check your inbox.

Since no one contacted us afterward, we assumed the automated system had worked.

@Kundenservice Were these sent by email?
I didn't subscribe to the newsletter or register for the webinar—is that why I haven't received anything?


I asked again in the comments section of the latest webinar announcement about the status of the slides, but I didn't get a response :)

@Alpalaka We sent the slides to everyone who had registered for the webinar—regardless of whether they attended or not.

@Kundenservice Would it also be possible to share the slides under the respective post on getquin after the webinar?
Alternatively, could you bundle them in a pinned post on your profile?

Hello @christian, it will be possible in the future to have an overview on the getquin roadmap? To see, what u want to add (features, design, synchronization…)

@pelo We are sending a monthly newsletter with things we did in the last month, bugfixes and also a small view on what we will work in the next month.

@Kundenservice Thanks for the answer! I was thinking more about a public, live roadmap directly on the Getquin website rather than a monthly newsletter.

Something similar to Jira, with tickets for bugs and feature requests and statuses like Planned / In Progress / Released

For me, that would be much more useful because a newsletter is only a monthly snapshot, while a roadmap could be updated in real time and give users a clear view of what is currently being worked on.

@pelo At the moment we don´t plan a public roadmap with public tickets for bugs and features.
Since I'm currently soaking up all the information I can get on this topic, I decided to sign up.

Is the Luma app absolutely necessary to participate?

You’ll need 45,000 euros a year; at the current rate of inflation, that will amount to 90,000 euros in 17 years.

Depending on the amount of your pension, you may contribute
~30,000 euros through your private retirement savings

@Smudeo You can also participate directly in your browser without installing the Luma app.

@Smudeo Okay, correction. It seems you now need the Microsoft Teams app on your smartphone. On a laptop or PC, you can still use it as usual in your browser.

@Kundenservice Unfortunately, that's why I can't get in.

I would recommend that you take a look at the following empirical study before making a sweeping statement that people should reduce their holdings of stocks and ETFs as they approach retirement:

Anarkulova, A., Cederburg, S., & O’Doherty, M. S. (2025). Beyond the status quo: A critical assessment of lifecycle investment advice

@Alpalaka Exactly! Thanks for the link—I'd completely forgotten about it :)

@SchlaubiSchlumpf A quick clarification: We do not make any blanket statements anywhere that you should reduce your equity allocation when you retire. For each individual case, the following factors remain decisive: withdrawal amount, goal achievement, and personal risk tolerance—all of which must be calculated quantitatively rather than answered with a blanket statement, whether the outcome leans one way or the other.

Will the webinars be only in German, or are there any future ones planned in English too?
