and if the start and end age defines a fixed duration of years or not
If available, set the dollar value to Future Value and at what age the value becomes available
When do I use fixed duration?
In many Target-Maps, the concept of fixed duration may not be applicable, but it holds significant value for long-term care. Fixed duration ensures that an event lasts for a specified number of years after the start date. For instance, if an event begins at age 75 with a fixed duration to age 80, once the member reaches age 75 plus one day, the end age will automatically adjust to 80 plus one day. This mechanism allows for continuous recalibration of exposure for the same duration throughout the life of the Target-Map, making it particularly beneficial for long-term care scenarios.
Examples of three line item edit windows. The first is from the What you want page, the other two are from the What you have page.
Notes on Editing
Gray fields indicate locked fields carried over from Asset-Map tiles. To change the name you must change the tile.
On What you have, editing a Target-Map funding source does not change the Asset-Map financial tile. Rather, it disconnects the Target-Map line item from the Asset-Map, defaulting instead to the newly modified dollar value. Reconnect the line item by removing the value from within the field and saving the edit.
For clients with many capital requirements or funding resources use the Search field on the What you have and What you want pages to find them fast.
Add More Capital Requirements and Capital Funding
To add additional capital requirement cash flows click the Add Desired Cash Flow button and complete the form on the What you want page.
Tip: to facilitate a one-time payout at a certain age/date instead of a recurring annual amount, ONLY ENTER THE START AGE, and do not enter an End age.
To add additional funding cash flows or assets click the Add Custom Cash Flow or Add Custom Asset buttons on the What you have page.
Edit from the Cash Flow Details Tab
Expanding the columns and click the desired resource to open that financial's Target-Map edit window (as if you clicked them from the What you have and What you want pages).
By design, Target-Maps are independent from one another. Funding used by one Target-Map is not automatically removed from other Target-Maps.
