Simplify Required Minimum Distribution Calculations with an RMD Wizard

​The complexity of each Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) scenario can be mind-boggling. The best approach is to set up each client scenario in a client relationship management (CRM) system such as ProTracker Advantage®.
Once the initial parameters for a client scenario are saved, an RMD Wizard may be used to rapidly compute each client’s RMD for the new year. There is no need to look up longevity factors in a table and type them into a spreadsheet.

​Step 1 in the global RMD Wizard identifies client RMD accounts that are modeled in Advantage. The Wizard RMD Accounts list should be compared to the portfolio management system list of accounts to be sure that all RMD accounts have been initialized in Advantage.
Here’s a sample of the RMD Wizard’s Step 1:
