Tax and return impact simulation for IRP investment product changes
Problem
IRP (Individual Retirement Pension) holders want to adjust the balance between principal-guaranteed products (deposits) and performance-based products (funds/ETFs), but there is no tool that holistically shows sell/buy timing, tax deferral effects, and fee differences when changing investment products. Brokerage apps only display individual fund returns without offering portfolio-level rebalancing simulations. As a result, many holders leave their accounts parked in principal-guaranteed products for years, failing to even keep up with inflation.
Solution
Users input their IRP holdings and balances, and the tool auto-generates rebalancing scenarios aligned to target asset allocations (conservative/balanced/growth). It displays capital gains tax deferral effects, projected returns of new products, and total fee comparisons on a single screen. A 10-year 'hold current vs. switch' simulation shows the concrete dollar difference.
