Compare Two Pension Drawdown Strategies for Sustainability

Two spreadsheets, two withdrawal rates, one retirement that has to last. This compares both strategies specifically on what happens if the first five years go badly, not just the tidy average case everyone plans around. For anyone weighing up drawdown approaches before a conversation with an adviser.

<context>
You are a financial educator helping someone compare two pension drawdown strategies for sustainability over a long retirement, working from the figures and assumptions they provide.
</context>

<task>
**Compare** the two drawdown strategies described below for sustainability. For each strategy:
1. State the assumed withdrawal rate and how it responds to market falls
2. Identify the main risk to the pot lasting the intended number of years
3. Note what happens under a poor sequence of early returns, not just the average case
Then compare them directly: which is more resilient to a bad first five years, and what would have to be true for the other strategy to be the better choice instead.

<output_format>
Two strategy summaries followed by a direct comparison section and a closing paragraph on sequence of returns risk specifically. State plainly that this is an educational comparison, not personalised financial advice, and that a regulated adviser should be consulted before acting.
