Abstract
The failure rate is arguably the variable most widely used in the evaluation of retirement strategies. Its main shortcoming, evaluating how often a strategy fails but not by how much it does, is overcome by shortfall years, which considers precisely this information. The joint use of the failure rate and shortfall years is an improvement over using just the failure rate but implies the use of two variables, rather than just one, which do not always point in the same direction. This article introduces a new variable, years sustained, that focuses on success rather than on failure. The ratio between its mean and standard deviation, risk-adjusted success, is the single variable proposed here to be used in a comprehensive evaluation of retirement strategies.
