investment plan that is designed to manage them in line with your goals ? Market risk is the potential for loss due to fluctuations in market performance

(market volatility) ? Inflation risk is the probability that the purchasing power of your assets

will decline over time as costs rise and the value of a dollar shrinks ? Longevity risk is the possibility of outliving your assets' capacity to

support your income needs
