Investors who are retired or nearing retirement are concerned about how low interest rates and rising inflation will affect them in retirement, according to a recent survey by Global Atlantic Financial Group.
Eighty-seven percent of the investors surveyed said they had recently felt “sticker shock” related to purchases of groceries, meals out or travel, and 57% expect inflation to increase this year.
Seventy-one percent worry that low interest rates will hamper the growth of their retirement assets, and 61% think the combination of low rates and higher inflation make it tougher to create a retirement income stream that lasts the rest of their lives.
