Elderly homeowners own $7 Trillion in home equity and many are struggling with a financial plan that fully fund their lifetime expenses, but financial advisers overlook this hidden wealth. Why? In this 1-hour presentation, we take a deep dive into the federally-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to understand how it can improve the retirement plans of clients, protect against longevity risk, be optimized to fit with client goals, and to do so in an ethical and compliant manner. The session also presents a new 3rd party tool to help analyze the impact of home equity on retirement outcomes.
