Cash flow simple
Given the information input into the plan and the assumptions used, Voyant can produce a simple Cash Flow Chart for the Voyant lifetime of the client as seen here.
Each bar is a year. Blue is good – it means there are sufficient income and assets to meet expenses. Red – projects a shortfall – in other words they run out of available income and assets to meet their needs. See the clients’ ages at the bottom of the chart and click on the markers to show the key events in the timeline.
Cash flow detailed
The detailed view (using the magnifying glass and by swiping up on a touch screen) shows which income and assets Voyant is assuming are used to meet expenses.
You can also show this Let’s See chart by selecting 'Hide All' to show the total expense profile over the course of the plan and then reveal the details one at a time to paint a picture of what income and assets are used in Voyant to meet their needs.
Build up the chart with individual assets and income in this way.
This plan shows the default order that Voyant uses assets to meet expenses, but the you can also input your own withdrawal strategy into Voyant to visualise what you would recommend. See other guides or ask the support desk for to how to do this.
