A computer-implemented simulation calculates financial consequences and likelihoods for a large number of potential real life events based on demographic data and based on an individual's responses to a questionnaire, in order to predict which types of financial products might best serve the individual's long term needs based on market trends extrapolated from historical market data. The computer-implemented simulation model provides an objective, non-speculative basis for recommending financial products that are most likely to meet the individual's present and future financial needs. The model assumes that any number of different products can satisfy customer needs for matters such as wealth generation, wealth and social status preservation, wealth transfer, or charitable giving. The model also factors whether existing and anticipated funding sources are to be dispensed in the form of a sinking or sustainable fund. Product affordability is also taken into consideration.
