The “Safe Withdrawal Rate” May Be Changing - Registered Investment Advisor
Another thing to remember is that all these probability studies were done in periods where interest rates and stock dividend yields were considerably higher. For instance, the yield on a 50/50 portfolio of S&P 500 index stocks and 5 year Treasury obligations is under 2 percent today. In 2000 the same portfolio provided a yield of 3.65 percent and in 1990 it provided a yield of 5.99 percent.
