By: Jason Whitby, MBA, CPA, CFP, AIFAUne recent study suggests that the addition of an immediate annuity to a mix of stocks and bonds, may increase the chance of “making his last money” 77% to 100%! This study concludes that by placing half of his savings millions of dollars in the pension, you can be absolutely guaranteed to have $ 40,000 per year after inflation for 30 years. But there’s a catch, the average inflation rate over the next thirty years should be 2. 5% or less! The study shows that the relationship between market risk and risk of longevity. Unfortunately, the study shows how the market risk and longevity risk must still be weighed against the risk of inflation, or more precisely, your retirement portfolio should be designed to withstand market shocks and inflation. As recently demonstrated, the market does not produce an average return, there is a wide range of income that gives an average. The same is true for inflation. Moreover, inflation has a universal impact of all of us when we have no control over elle.Afin demonstrate the impact of inflation, re-ran the study to validate our model, then test the duration model against a higher rate inflation. We used data of the declaration of the study and 50% reproduced their Stock/50% Bond Portfolio withdrawal of 4% per year, adjusted for inflation in February. 5% of the production of a success rate of 77%, according to the study. Then change the blend to 25% Bond/50 Stock/25 immediate annuity%%, again repeat the survey and that 100% success, as the study found. But watch what happens when you change the average inflation rate over the next 30 years at 3%, 4% or 5%! These are the results of all other things remain constant and variable inflation.

Success% 0% 11% Table 1 shows that the gain fixed immediate annuity could help fight against longevity risk, but offer little capacity to absorb the risks of inflation. In an average inflation rate of 4%, only has a 56% chance of having your money last 30 years. And an inflation rate of 5%, their success rate is reduced to a stunning 11%! This is particularly relevant when one considers that the average inflation rate in 30 years 1973-2003 was 4. 9% and 4. 0% from 1978-2008. This possibility of 11% of success is far from a guarantee of success and shows that confidence in somewhere in the immediate annuity may be an illusion.
