Can you please email me your codes so I can run and take a look?

One possibility, your FnsToEvaluate.riskyshare will include people who have zero savings. Maybe do riskyshare conditional on savings\>0 (you can use [simoptions.conditionalrestriction](https://discourse.vfitoolkit.com/t/conditional-restrictions-on-agent-distribution-stats/294/3))  
[you could do the same by setting up FnsToEvaluate.riskyshare as riskyshare\*(savings\>0) and FnsToEvaluate.positivesavings as (savings\>0), then just do the riskyshare moment divided by the positivesavings moment (only works if you are only interested in mean, conditionalrestriction gives all the other stats too)]
