Emma Young, a 47-year-old single mother of two daughters, ages 17 and 20, recently sold a business for $5.5 million net of taxes and put the proceeds into a money market account. Her other assets include a tax-deferred retirement account worth $3.0 million, a $500,000 after-tax account designated for her daughters’ education, a $400,000 after-tax account for unexpected needs, and her home, which she owns outright.
Her living expenses are fully covered by her job. Young wants to retire in 15 years and to fund her retirement from existing assets. An orphan at eight who experienced childhood financial hardships, she places a high priority on retirement security and wants to avoid losing money in any of her three accounts.
Ten years later, Young is considering an early-retirement package offer. The package would provide continuing salary and benefits for three years. The broker recommends a special review of Young’s financial plan to assess potential changes to the existing allocation strategy. Identify the primary reason for the broker’s reassessment of Young’s circumstances. Justify your response.

解释:
The primary reason for the broker's reassessment is change in constraints.
Change in constraints related to change of asset size, liquidity requirement and time horizon. Ten years later, Young is considering an early-retirement package offer. The package would provide continuing salary and benefits for three years. So the time horizon of Young decreased for 5 years. In conclusion, the primary reason for the broker's reassessment is change in constraints.
