FAQ: How Does the Tracking Section of the Platform Work?

How to Use the Tracking Section for Retirement Plans

  1. Import Base Scenario:
    • The Tracking Section allows you to import and track multiple versions of your retirement plan.
    • The platform will always pull in your base scenario. You can identify it by selecting the Base Scenario button.
    • To track progress, you can import the most recent version of the plan.
  2. Track Progress:
    • After importing the new version, you can compare it against previous plans.
    • You can track up to three versions side by side. This helps you compare the expected vs. actual progress of the plan.
  3. Add Actual Account Balances:
    • You can enter actual account balances starting with values for January (beginning of the year) or even monthly balances for more granular tracking.
    • By inputting actual values, the platform will compare them with your projected values from the plan.
  4. Visualize Progress:
    • The system will create an annual chart that shows your progress towards meeting the goals outlined in the plan.
    • If you want to see more detailed tracking, the platform allows you to track monthly progress by entering data on a monthly basis.
    • The visualizations will show you where you are falling behind or on track.
  5. Review Multiple Plan Versions:
    • As you move forward, you can update your plan, and the platform will show the gap or alignment between your actual account balances and the projections from your updated plan.
