Version 3.4.0 Release Notes - 2012-07-01

Updated User Interface

Version 3.4.0 brings an updated and enhanced user interface (UI) to Voyant.

The most noticeable change is the way Advanced Settings are displayed and edited. By default, each individual advanced detail section will popup into its own separate dialog. This provides more room for editing items such as "Step Up/Step Down" or Transfers.

If you prefer the previous expand collapse mechanism, a new preference in the "Application Preferences" section, "Edit Advanced Details in popout dialogs", can be unchecked to restore the functionality to the previous mechanism.

In addition to numerous cosmetic changes, certain data entry screens have been re-organized to make basic data entry as easy as possible.

Optional Basic Expenses Line on Cashflow Chart

A line showing the total basic expenses in each year can now be shown on the Cashflow charts. This line simply shows the total for all expenses categorized as Basics. Keep in mind that this line does not include any tax expenses. The line can be toggled on and off from the Plan Preferences, or from the "Show/Hide Basic Expenses" link underneath the chart.

Version 3.2.53 Release Notes - 2011-04-16

New Major Loss/Crash Special Event Simulation

This release adds a new feature simulation and special event type, Major Loss. The Major Loss Event and simulation allow an one to conveniently simulate a major performance change in the growth of investments lasting from 1-5 years. This makes it easy illustrate what a plan may look like if such a market occurred at different points during the planning timeline, such as 1 year before retirement, or 3 years into retirement.

This feature provides another tool to the adviser to help determine and illustrate an individual client's capacity for loss.

There are two ways to use this feature:

Major Loss Chart Simulation

From the Chart, Click the "Major Loss" button text next to Simulations. This tab allows you to run a Major Loss simulation in the current plan. Specify the age of primary client when the event will occurr. Click the Settings button to define the nature of the major loss event. Define the length of the Major Loss from 1-5 years, and specify the growth rate and asset allocation percentiles for each year in the event.

To simulate something like 3 year double dip (The following numbers are given as an example)
Year 1 specify -35% and 0%ile
Year 2 specify 20% and 79%ile
Year 3 specify -20% and 4%ile

Select the Event to perform the Required Rate of Return analysis, and click Analyze. The two ? buttons explain the results of the analysis.

Adding a Major Loss Event to a What-If Plan

Create a what if plan, and go to the timeline screen. Drag the Major Loss event icon on to the timeline. Click the Event Settings at the top of the screen to edit the nature of the major loss event. Default values may be set in the Preferences section. Click Let's See to view the plan with the Major Loss Event. The timing of the event may be changed by clicking Edit Time and dragging the event to a new year.

Voyant has added support for separately specifying dividend and interest yield for each asset class in the Market Assumptions.

For each asset class in the Market Assumptions, users may specify the average dividend or interest yield produced by the asset class. The Cash asset class is now considered to produce 100% interest yeild.

Checkout the Preferences -> Market Assumptions section to see how this data can be added.

Rebrand customers should contact support if you would like to modify your custom Market Assumptions to include the specification of this data.

Version 3.2.13 Release Notes

This update includes one fix to the ordering of accounts used to fulfill co-owned expenses to use

For example, previously, if an expense was owned by both Bob and Alice, the following is the order of accounts that would be used to fulfill the expense, provided the plan was configured to liquidate taxable accounts before tax free accounts.
Bob and Alice's Joint Savings Account
Bob's Savings Account
Bob's Roth IRA
Alice's Savings Account
Alice's Roth IRA

The ordering was corrected to make sure the taxable accounts of all co-owners are used before tax free accounts are used. The ordering for the example is now:
Bob and Alice's Joint Savings Account
Bob's Savings Account
Alice's Savings Account
Bob's Roth IRA
Alice's Roth IRA

The other major change in this release is to the "Performance" slider. For accounts using asset allocation, the very top and bottom of the slider represents 1 standard deviation change up or down respectively from the 50 percentile return of an asset allocation. For accounts grown using a hand entered growth rate, or the default growth rate, each tick on the slider now represents a +/- .5% change in the specified growth rate. Before, the tick represent an exact growth rate from 0-12%.

For example, previously, with the slider in the middle, all accounts not using asset allocation would use a growth rate of 6%. Now, these asset allocations will use the growth specified from the account screen. With the slider at the very top, and account with a specified growth rate of 8%, will return 14%. With the slider at the very bottom, the account will return 2%. The caveat is that accounts with 100% Cash allocation, or savings account composed will return a minimum return of 0%. Hence, if an account is set with a growth rate of 3%, then the very bottom of the slider will use a return 0% rather than -3%, if the account is a savings account or uses a 100% Cash allocation.

Version 3.0.17 Release Notes

This release contains significant improvements to the distribution of cash inflows from lump sum payouts and liquidated assets.

New Dedicated Cash Accounts to Receive Excess Cash Inflows - Funds from lump sum cash inflows (e.g. liquidated assets, lump sum payouts from pensions and insurance policies) and yearly excess income (when applicable), which were previously deposited into a single default cash account (current or savings) will instead be distributed into new dedicated cash accounts. Dedicated cash accounts will be created by the software for each person in a plan. Funds will be deposited into these dedicated accounts based on ownership of the cash inflow.

A new sweep account feature has been added to enable the regular transfer of funds from dedicated cash accounts into any range of investments, savings and pensions.

Taxable and Tax Free accounts may now specify a draw down strategy in addition to the previously allowed withdrawal limit settings.
