A 3-minute, physician-focused check that reveals how early market changes could affect your income strategy—especially in the first years of retirement.
If retirement lasts longer than expected, would you know whether your current plan is built to carry that pressure?

Mark Hupe has spent more than 30 years working with physicians navigating complex financial decisions. He understands the realities behind the numbers, demanding schedules, multiple income sources, and strategies that aren’t always fully coordinated.
His approach is simple: Bring clarity to what’s working, identify what isn’t, and help define a path forward.
If withdrawals begin during a weak market, have you considered how much that could change the income your portfolio is able to support? Two people can earn similar long-term returns, but experience very different outcomes depending on timing.
When this can become especially important:

Income is being withdrawn from investments

Market declines happen early in retirement

There’s less time to recover losses

Withdrawals continue regardless of market conditions
Could the greater risk be not poor long-term returns, but poor timing at the exact moment income needs begin?
A Private Fast way to determine The Risk
The Sequence of Returns Pulse Check gives you a quick, structured way to evaluate how early market changes could affect your income.
In just a few minutes, you’ll see:
How dependent your plan may be on early market performance
Whether withdrawals could amplify market impact
Where timing risk may create pressure
This isn’t a portfolio analysis. It’s a fast way to identify whether your current approach is exposed to timing risk.

Takes less than 3 minutes.
No financial details required.
At the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of whether your current approach appears:
Resilient — less sensitive to early market changes
Exposed — timing could have a meaningful impact
Uncertain — key factors may need closer coordination
Not a final answer, but a clear signal of where you stand.
Planning Designed for Physicians

This is:
A quick check on timing-related risk
A way to identify potential pressure points
A starting point for deeper evaluation

This is not:
A full portfolio review
A market prediction
A commitment to move forward
It helps to understand how timing, not just returns, could affect your income over time. This takes a few minutes and can change how you think about your retirement strategy. If something stands out, you’ll know exactly where to go next.
