  • Dynamic Planner Risk Managed Decumulation Rating

    On 3rd April 2020, Dynamic Planner launched its Risk Managed Decumulation Ratings, initially awarded to just eleven funds that met the selection criteria, the Tenax Fund being one of those. Funds awarded a rating should have low sequence of returns risk, such that the timing of withdrawals from a retirement account will have little impact on the overall rate of return available to an investor
