Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An investor wants to reduce the risk that their portfolio’s value drops right when they need to start withdrawals in 3 years. Which change most directly reduces that risk?

BShift part of the portfolio from stocks into shorter-term high-quality bonds and cash as the date approaches

CIncrease leverage to boost return

DIgnore time horizon because averages guarantee success

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

AIt can protect the family from unlimited covered medical bills in a very expensive year.

BIt makes every doctor visit free forever.

CIt replaces the need for an emergency fund.

DIt guarantees investment profits.

Solution & Explanation:A yearly out-of-pocket limit can reduce the risk of extremely large covered medical costs, though families still need to understand plan rules.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

ACash guarantees the stock market will rise next year

BCash eliminates inflation risk

CCash always has the highest long-run return
