Problem

Workers in their 50s who opened a DC-type Retirement Pension or IRP often leave funds parked in the default option (principal-guaranteed products). Even when aware, they cannot compare options because product names differ across brokerages. Designing a rebalance plan that accounts for years until retirement, risk tolerance, and tax benefit limits takes 3–4 hours, so most give up and continue missing 2–3% annual returns.

Solution

Enter your expected retirement date, current DC/IRP balance, and risk profile (3 questions) on the web to receive an auto-generated allocation plan mapped to representative product categories (TDF, bond-mixed, deposit) by brokerage. Simulates year-by-year tax deduction optimization (pension savings vs. IRP allocation) and provides a rebalance timing alert calendar.

Target: Ages 48–58, office workers at large or mid-sized companies, DC-type Retirement Pension holders, 3–10 years from retirement, intermediate financial literacy
Revenue Model: Basic simulation Free. Brokerage-specific product matching + tax deduction optimization detailed Report PDF $3.75 Per Transaction. Future brokerage partnership lead referral fees possible.
