This paper discusses technical aspects of the Russell–Yasuda Kasai financial planning model. These include the models for the discrete distribution scenario generation processes for the uncertain parameters of the model, the mathematical approach used to develop the infinite-horizon end-effects part of the model, a comparison of algorithms used in the model's solution, and a comparison of the multistage stochastic linear programming model with the previous technology, static mean-variance analysis. Experience and benefits of the model in Yasuda Kasai's financial planning process are also discussed.
