            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have some clients who want to do Roth Conversions but then not subsequently spend out of the Roth during their lifetimes. For example, if a client does a Roth conversion and after paying the taxes has other assets left, there should be an option for post-Conversion years to still be a Taxable, Tax-Deferred, Tax-Exempt drawdown hierarchy (or various other hierarchies). From what I can tell, Roth Conversion analysis assumes the client then uses the Roth IRA for their income post-conversion. This is primarily for clients who want to prioritize leaving their heirs tax-free assets and would prefer to use their taxable assets or remaining IRA/401k assets during their lifetimes, maximizing end-of-life value of the Roth bucket.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would be helpful to have a much simpler way to set custom asset allocations at the account level.</p><p>Currently, the options are either to use the preset risk-based allocations, which can have fairly large jumps between stock and bond percentages, or manually build a custom allocation across U.S. stocks, international stocks, emerging markets, bonds, and other asset classes. Doing this separately for multiple accounts is very time-consuming.</p><p>A simpler option would be to allow the user to enter just the desired equity percentage for an account, with the remainder automatically allocated to fixed income. For example, entering 70% equities would automatically create a 70/30 portfolio using the platform’s standard global equity allocation, such as VT, and fixed-income allocation, such as BND.</p><p>This would make asset location much easier. Roth IRAs, traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and taxable accounts often need different stock/bond mixes, even when the household has a single overall target allocation. Right now, creating custom allocations is too tedious, while the jumps between the preset risk-based allocations are too large to make them very usable for this purpose. As a result, I tend to use the same static allocation across every account, based on the household’s overall target allocation. That is not ideal because different accounts will grow at different rates depending on their underlying allocations, causing the household-level allocation to drift over time and requiring additional rebalancing.</p><p>An “Equity %” field at the account level would make account-specific allocations significantly faster and more practical to implement and maintain.</p>]]></content:encoded>
