Six Retirement Withdrawal Strategies That Stretch Savings

What does our 2024 research reveal as the highest safe withdrawal rate?

For many investors, 4% has traditionally been seen as the ideal retirement withdrawal rate. However, Morningstar researchers now recommend a starting safe withdrawal rate of 3.7% for 2024. 
 

This adjustment reflects the effects of higher equity valuations and lower fixed-income yields, which have led to reduced return expectations for stocks, bonds, and cash over the next 30 years.

The report also evaluates six retirement withdrawal strategies designed to help extend an investor’s retirement income.
