medium · Certified Financial Planner Risk Management
Marguerite Kovacs, aged 64 and single, has $3.1 million in investable assets and is considering self-insuring her long-term care risk. A professional planner identifies that while she can absorb the median cost of care, a 'tail risk' event like a seven-year cognitive impairment would be catastrophic.
Which decision-making hierarchy rank or heuristic should the planner apply first?
- H3 - Exhaust the Free: Verify if her existing life policy has an accelerated death benefit rider.
- Rank 3 - Competence and Scope: Conduct a clinical assessment to determine the probability of dementia.
- Rank 7 - Quantitative Optimality: Calculate the internal rate of return on the policy premiums.
- H6 - Risk Before Return: Liquidate her aggressive equity holdings to fund a $500,000 cash reserve.
