11. Making your income last How much can you safely spend? 11 © 2016 RiverSource Life Insurance Company. All rights reserved. This analysis was created using probability modeling to determine the likelihood that inflation-adjusted withdrawals can be sustained over 30 years. Probability modeling uses statistical samples of values for inflation and investment growth rates to run many different trials. The historical returns were from 1950 through 2014 for the hypothetical portfolio. The hypothetical portfolio is assumed to have a moderate allocation as follows: 10% cash, 40% bonds and 50% equities. The indices used were: Cash: U.S. 30-Day Treasury Bill; Bonds: 1950 - 1967 50% SBBI U.S. Intermediate-Term Government Total Return Index (source: Ibbotson Associates) and 50% U.S. Investment Grade Corporate (source: Ibbotson Associates), (then revert to market value weighting for each 1968 – 1975), 1976 – 2014 Barclay’s Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index; Equity: 1950 – June 2001 Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) NYSE/Amex/NASDAQ (Deciles 1-10) Total Return, July 2001 – 2014 CRSP US Total Market; Inflation: U.S. Department of Labor - U.S. Consumer Price Index - Not Seasonally Adjusted. Indices are unmanaged and do not incur management fees or other expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be satisfied or that return expectations will be met. The data assumes reinvestment of dividends and does not account for taxes. While there is no guarantee your annuity with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit will keep up with inflation, this feature may provide a better chance of addressing this key challenge. Reality 5 Even with a modest 4% withdrawal rate, there is a chance you could run out of money.
