Meet Segal Pulse, Our Plan Forecasting Tool

Segal Pulse gives decision-makers the ability to perform "what if" projections and see the real-time impact of changing financial and demographic variables.

Trustees struggle with predicting the direction their plans are heading and what factors could change that direction. While many funds prefer that our experts assist them with real-time modeling, others wish to control and model their options on their own.

For trustees who want to explore alternative scenarios hands-on, Segal Pulse® is an enhanced, client-driven version of our popular Forecast modeling tool that dynamically generates financial and actuarial deterministic projections.
