If you are looking for a way to stay invested in the market while ensuring your income remains steady, you need to know about the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB).
Think of a GMWB as an insurance policy for your portfolio. It is a specialized feature found in Segregated Funds that creates a "floor" for your retirement income.
Why smart investors are making the switch:
โ
Guaranteed Income for Life: You are guaranteed a set percentage of your income base every year, regardless of how the stock market performs. Even if your investment account value drops to zero, your income payments continue.
โ
Market Upside Participation: You donโt have to sacrifice growth. If your investments perform well, your "guaranteed income base" can be locked in at a higher level, increasing your future payouts.
โ
Downside Protection: It safeguards you against "sequence of returns risk"โthe danger of a market crash occurring right when you start drawing down your savings.
โ
Flexibility & Privacy: Like other segregated funds, these contracts can bypass probate, keeping your estate affairs private, and offer potential creditor protectionโan essential safety net for business owners.
The Bottom Line: You can enjoy the potential of the stock market without the fear of running out of cash.
Because GMWBs require a specialized insurance license, many standard bank branches simply cannot offer them. If youโre tired of "hoping" the market stays up for your retirement lifestyle, this might be the missing piece of your plan.
