Current "Stable Value" Fund Returns ?

[Cat-tirement]

The stable value fund in my 401k is currently listing as yielding a little over 2%, though I don't use it. DW's 403b has a "fixed income option" where they lock a return rate for six months at a time, and announce it in advance. It has been at 3% since 2009. Earlier this year I moved almost half our bond allocation into it.

Forgot to check DW's funds in her 457 plan. The YTD return on the "stable value fund" is 1.33%.

I retired back in July and left my SV fund with my former employer.

It is currently paying 2.9%

At about 2%, mine isn't even covering (my) inflation. However, I do like the (forgive the expression) stability of it (the nominal value never drops). Right now, it is beating the pants off most fixed income investments that have any guarantees. Since I have structured my WDR to be relatively low (much less than 4%) I don't worry too much about the Stab Val being in a long-term slump. I think it will eventually begin to produce again when interest rates finally rise. In the past, it has typically beaten inflation. I guess we will see. YMMV

SV funds are typically if not exclusively found in 401k perhaps 403b plans. If Vanguard were the custodian for your 401k perhaps they'd have a SV fund for your plan but I'm not really sure if even then. But for the public, no.
