Does anyone here have older (like 2015, 2010, etc) Fidelity Freedom retirement-year funds, if so, do they continue to produce income dependably?
Most of my tIRA money is in the 2020 and 2025 year Freedom funds and they have paid out really decent capital gain and dividend income the past 5 years.
I don't know if the income is something I can count on going forward. I tried asking my Fidelity advisor and he said no they wouldn't keep paying like they have, but when I read the fund objectives they say the number one objective after the retirement year is to produce income.
So far the funds seem to pay approx the same as an annuity would, though I'm not sure because the amount per year varies a lot (looks like ranging from 4 pct to 11 pct).
What have been your experiences with these funds after the retirement year?
