How we use this in your projections

Your report applies an age-banded glide path rather than a single flat rate — a more realistic model of how portfolio risk typically evolves over a career. We use 10% in your 20s and 30s, 9% in your 40s, and 6% in your 50s, then your selection above for age 60+. Your choice here drives the post-60 phase and the conservative/optimistic scenario comparisons in your report.
