Express Forecast Current

The Express Forecast Current API directly exposes current forecasting portion of Morningstar® Retirement Manager™ functionality enabling clients to integrate forecasting tools into their participant interfaces.

API utilizes record-kept participant data and provides:

  1. Income projections based on participant's current strategy. This assumes a default retirement age, per RM logic.
  2. Current Strategy will tell the participant how their account is doing relative to their retirement need, but will not give advice.

Overview

Functionality will be exposed in a form of an externally accessible synchronous RESTful endpoint.
