Which two reports in the Retirement Needs Analysis help you check if retirement is unfunded and by how many years?

• A. The Scenario Planner and Cash Flow
• B. The Big Picture and Needs vs. Resources Detail reports
• C. The Retirement Summary and Tax Overview
• D. The Asset Allocation and Risk Profile

Answer: (B)

In retirement planning, you determine whether retirement is funded by comparing what you’ll have (resources) to what you’ll need (expenses) over your retirement horizon, and you want to know not just if there’s a gap but for how long it lasts. The Big Picture gives a high-level view of whether projected resources cover retirement needs across the overall timeline. It flags if the plan isn’t fully funded. The Needs vs. Resources Detail report then breaks that down year by year, showing the exact shortfall and, crucially, how many years retirement would be unfunded under current assumptions. Using both together lets you see if there’s a funding gap and quantify its duration. Other reports, like Scenario Planner and Cash Flow, Retirement Summary and Tax Overview, or Asset Allocation and Risk Profile, address different aspects of planning and do not directly pinpoint the length of a funding gap.
