Howard Capital Management Launches New Features for 401(k) Optimizer® Tool

ATLANTA, March 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Capital Management, Inc. (HCM), an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, is proud to announce the company's new 401(k) Optimizer®. The 401(k) Optimizer® is a 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plan management tool designed to help individuals better manage their retirement accounts, with real-time alerts notifying users when they should make changes to their 401(k) plans.

"Research shows us that the vast majority of Americans don't actively pay attention to their 401(k) plans. They are set-it-and-forget-it folks who are not paying attention to what drives their retirement savings," said Vance Howard, CEO and portfolio manager of Howard Capital Management. "Our 401(k) Optimizer®? tool leverages your answers to our simple risk tolerance questionnaire, along with your ideal long-term goals, to identify recommended asset allocations that fit your unique needs."

The 401(k) Optimizer®? is a web-based tool designed to help you manage your company-sponsored retirement plan. Users will have access to Howard's signature stop-loss protection tool, called the HCM-BuyLine®, and the ability to opt in to quarterly updates and HCM-BuyLine® calls. Additionally, users will have access to Howard's retirement calculator and the opportunity to integrate the 401(k) Optimizer®? with their financial institution to provide automatic account balance updates and show employee and employer contributions, balance history and rate of return.

"It's like having access to your own personal investment advisor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," said Howard. "After we make quarterly investment recommendations, our HCM-BuyLine®? monitors the market for you, and when the system signals that it's time to make a change, you receive a text or email alert in real time."

The HCM-BuyLine®?, created by Vance Howard, has been the company's foundation since 1996. Howard's signature stop-loss protection tool is designed to make timely recommendations in volatile markets. The HCM-BuyLine®? mitigates downside risk by recommending moves out of equities and into cash and/or lower-volatility investments while seeking to identify opportunities to increase equity exposure during market upturns.

Due to the coronavirus, the HCM-BuyLine® has signaled for subscribers to move portions of their retirement investments into cash and/or lower-volatility investments. The system recently sent out notifications to subscribers instructing them on how to reallocate their plans.

"Even if you have a long-term investment horizon, this is a critically important time for participants to pay attention to the HCM-BuyLine® signals and manage their portfolios accordingly," said Howard. "At Howard Capital Management, we don't believe in holding investments until they hit rock bottom. Our goal is to minimize losses in major downturns and maximize gains in market upturns."
