Today’s Story

Financial experts are advising retirees to adjust their withdrawal strategies in light of recent market conditions. A recent Morningstar report suggests that new retirees should consider a 3.7% annual withdrawal rate from their retirement portfolios, down from the traditional 4%. This adjustment accounts for lower expected returns on stocks and bonds, influenced by the 2024 stock market rally, which has led to higher valuations and anticipated lower future returns.

For example, a retiree with a $1 million portfolio should now plan to withdraw $37,000 per year instead of $40,000. Despite the lower withdrawal rate, rising portfolio values due to the market rally may still provide financial benefits. Retirees are encouraged to consult with financial advisors to tailor their withdrawal strategies to current market conditions and personal financial needs.
