A press release said the new interactive FLASH tool will help advisers and investors with retirement distribution and income planning while providing important information for estate and tax planning strategies.  

A version of the tool for iPad is currently under development and expected to be released this summer.  

“Some retirees won’t need their RMDs and will want to plan accordingly.  Those that do need them will be able to easily model future distributions to include in their plans,”  said Stephen Daniels, Archimedes’ Director of Retirement Planning Solutions, in the press release.
