Build your pension: Annuity is your lifetime income

 

 

Steps to Your 'Personal Pension'

Most important steps to securing your retirement income:

1.    Spread your investment dollars among as many non-correlated income-producing assets as possible (global bonds, dividend paying stocks, private REITs, MLPs, and secured floating income investments to name just a few).

2.    Guarantee your income. Just like the foundation in your home is there to protect you during a storm, the foundation of your income plan should be guaranteed in case the perfect economic storm hits. For better or worse, the only account that can guarantee you a lifetime income is an annuity. Annuity options are plentiful—many aren’t that great—so carefully compare fees, risks, and potential performance.

3.    Set reasonable goals. Generating a 5-6 percent cash flow (adjusted for inflation) with a responsible level of risk is reasonable. Could you generate more? Sure, with more risk, but is it really prudent to accept a greater risk of running out of money? There are no do-overs in life and in retirement this is one area of planning that you must get right!
