The 4 Retirement Tests
What are the 4 Retirement Tests™?
The 4 Retirement Tests™ are a structural investment discipline framework developed by Ametrine Wealth Strategies, LLC.
Before any portfolio is customized and before any income strategy is implemented, a retirement structure should pass four essential tests.
1. Sustainability
Does the portfolio demonstrate long-term durability?
- Withdrawal sustainability
- Inflation resilience
- Longevity alignment
- Risk-adjusted earning capacity
2. Accessibility
Does the structure preserve flexibility?
- Liquidity maintenance
- Strategic distribution sequencing
- Avoidance of unnecessary capital lock-up
3. Predictability
Is volatility appropriately calibrated?
- Income stability where appropriate
- Behavioral risk alignment
- Guardrails around market exposure
4. Growth
Does the portfolio remain aligned with long-term purchasing power?
- Strategic diversification
- Custom allocation design
- Inflation-adjusted growth planning
