Market Assumptions

Retirement Quant makes assumptions about future returns when performing its simulations.  Each year it will randomly calculate a return for each of the asset classes.  The distribution of the returns is defined by their means and standard deviations.  You can accept the default values for the simulations or you can input your own values based upon information you might have.

Retirement Quant lets you select the number of asset classes to use as well as their statistical distribution.  If you want to define your own asset class, simply enter the mean and standard deviation of the asset class.  (The asset label will not change however.)
