There are several ways to calculate how risk should be addressed in a personal financial plan. Each of the various insurance products has its own unique set of calculations.
In this audiovisual CPE course updated for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Tom Tillery shows you how to illustrate models to your clients, comparing the retention of risk to the transfer of risk using the time value of money. In this regard, the personal financial planner occupies a singular position in the risk management process.
