Abstract
This is an Australian first: a bottom-up exploration of the range of philosophies that have been applied in generating retirement income, broken down into eight examples. What can be seen is that the eight examples sit on a spectrum from what we call 'safety-first' at one end to entirely 'probability-based' at the other end.
Keywords: Retirement income, safe withdrawal rate, probability-based, safety-first, volatility, annuity, risk, growth assets, equities, longevity risk
