How Can You Help Lower Your Longevity Risk?Submitted by Edward Jones,
09:16AM / Tuesday, August 04, 2020 | |
 The investment world contains different types of risk. Your stocks or stock-based mutual funds could lose value during periods of market volatility. The price of your bonds or bond funds could also decline, if new bonds are issued at higher interest rates. But have you ever thought about longevity risk? Insurance companies and pension funds view longevity risk as the risk they incur when their assumptions about life expectancies and mortality rates are incorrect, leading to higher payout levels. But for you, as an individual investor, longevity risk is less technical and more emotional: it's the risk of outliving your money. To assess your own longevity risk, you first will want to

@theMarket: Stocks Fall as Congress Fails to ActBy Bill Schmick,
04:06PM / Friday, July 31, 2020 | |

Chairman Jerome Powell, in his Thursday press conference after the two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting, said the path forward is "extraordinarily uncertain." As such, our central bank will remain accommodating, he promised, which means the financial markets will continue to be supported going forward. Readers should remember that. Over the long term, I plan to remain constructive towards 0 Comments
