Reasonable Rate of Return** In Retirement
When you’re in retirement, it is important to find balance. Specifically, finding a balance between risk of principle and return on your money.

Typically conservative places for your money include certificates of deposits (CD’s), savings accounts and savings bonds.

Fixed Index Annuity Rates of Return
One benefit of a fixed index annuity is that its return rate is not based upon the stock market. In contrast, an annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. The insurance company calculates a rate of return based on an index and several other factors, including:
- Annuity term (how long it is for)
- Annuity additional benefits
- Dollar amount that has been placed into an annuity
- Income rider (whether or not it has been included)
- Conditions and contract terms set by the insurance company

WHAT ARE YOUR RISKS?
RISK VERSUS POTENTIAL REWARD​
IN RETIREMENT, WHAT IS A REASONABLE RATE OF RETURN?**
In retirement, low interest may simply not give you enough income to live on. True, your money may be protected. But if you can’t create enough income from it, then it isn’t the right place for your money, You need a way to keep your principal protected, regardless of the market conditions, However, you also may want a potential reasonable return rate.**
So, what about higher interest rate options in retirement? The challenge here is that most of the time, when the interest rate rises, so does the risk. Therefore, if the market crashes, for example, this could impact your retirement savings. For some retirees, their accounts may not be able to recover. This is definitely not an ideal retirement situation.
To sum up, your interest rate goal may be slightly higher than what is offered through CD’s or basic bank account interest. In addition, you also want to keep your savings safe. Some types of annuities and life insurance products may be helpful for these retirees. Would you like to learn more? Contact us today.
