A steady decline in real interest rates since the 1980’s has made it exceedingly more difficult for investors to generate reliable streams of income from traditional bond investing. The notable return of market volatility in the wake of the unprecedented economic impact stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic has further inspired investors to rethink their approach to risk management and its implication for retirement readiness.
Consequently, investors have increasingly sought out alternative investment strategies for both generating the supplementary income needed to address their retirement and other cash-dependent needs and for navigating current market volatility and avoiding longer term “variance drain” (the drag on compound returns stemming from volatility).
