They function like mutual funds and invest in properties\/real estate. These\nfunds invest the pooled capital of investors\nin carefully selected real estate categories such as\nhotels, residential buildings, or commercial spaces. They invest in direct\nequity or mortgages in the above-mentioned\ncategories of properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional fund managers manage the investment, may undertake the development\nof the property, pay taxes, collect income, and\ndistribute the same to the set of investors. REITs, by law, must distribute 90%\nof their income in the form of dividends to their investors. These dividends\nare generally higher than the returns you earn from stock dividends, and\nthat is where the attraction for the product lies.\nThe opportunity to develop properties and\/or sell them combined with high\ndividend yields makes investing in REITs a sound investment decision for\nretirees who have a larger corpus for investment.\nREITs are more affordable than direct real estate investments, and moreover,\none is not responsible for the management of the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stocks_that_pay_a_dividend\"><\/span>2. <strong>Stocks that pay a dividend<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors are\nknown to prefer stocks that pay periodic dividends as they are a source of\nincome stability during market uncertainties. An additional advantage that\nthese dividend-paying stocks provide is a higher yield than some of the more\nlow-risk investments such as Certificates of Deposits (CDs), Treasury bills,\nand Fixed Deposits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although\ninvesting in these stocks is not free from risk, they are a worthwhile\ninvestment\noption. Such stocks have the potential to provide you inflation-beating income with capital gains coupled\nwith dividend payouts. Thus, they can be considered as a less risky and high return investment. Instead\nof just purchasing stocks, you may consider\ninvesting in dividend income funds too. Under this, a fund manager invests your\nmoney in different dividend-paying stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Covered_calls\"><\/span>3. <strong>Covered calls<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One option to\nreduce the risk associated with dividend-paying stocks is to get\ncovered calls on them. A call option gives the buyer the right but not the\nobligation to buy the underlying security at the expiry date. In the case of a\ncovered call option strategy, the investor can sell or write a call option with\na higher strike price than the stock&#8217;s current price. Doing so will provide you\nwith a premium. A covered call strategy works best when the investor\nanticipates that the stock will not have large movements in either direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing calls on dividend-paying stocks can be beneficial as investors get a premium from selling the calls as well as capital gain and dividend income. Additionally, selling calls on dividend-paying stocks has less risk than simply buying those stocks. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/landing\/find-financial-advisors?cta=match\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You may want to reach out to your financial advisor<\/a><\/strong> before making investments or trading with Futures and Options on the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Get in touch with a qualified financial fiduciary who may be able to provide you with suitable investment strategies that you may benefit from.

It provides the investor with a\ncoupon that is greater than what government bonds pay. It also has a\nlow degree of risk as compared to general stocks. In the event that a company\ngoes bankrupt, paying back the capital of preferred shareholders takes priority\nright after bondholders. This additional risk\npays off in terms of good returns to the investor, as long as the company\nperforms well financially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high yield\nwith low risk factor makes preferred stocks the ideal asset for retirees who\nseek passive income. You may consider adding preferred\nstocks to your portfolio for diversification purposes, but after assessing your\nunique goals and needs, time horizon, and risk appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Annuities\"><\/span>5. <strong>Annuities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Annuities are a mix of insurance and investments.\nThey are investment contracts signed between the client and an insurance\ncompany. You give the company a lump sum amount of money, and they pay you\nregular interest on that sum at specified periods. There are various types of\nannuities, but the common characteristic is that they provide the investor with\na guaranteed return that is pre-defined in the contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are\nseveral options to choose from under annuities. An investor can opt for a fixed\nannuity, under which he will gain guaranteed returns at relatively higher\ninterest rates. Investing your funds in a fixed annuity will provide you with\nexcess returns than a bank&#8217;s Certificate of Deposit. You can even opt for an\nimmediate annuity which starts paying out returns within one month. Such\nannuities are suited for people who are prone to overspending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed\nannuities are a great way to protect your capital. They guarantee the principal\nthat you invest, a reasonable rate of interest and fixed payouts throughout the\ninvestor&#8217;s life. However, the fees and commission charged by annuities could be\nsubstantial. Many annuities also include some complicated features. Thus,\nyou must go through the costs associated with investing in annuities and the product features appropriately. Also, make sure to\nbe aware of how investing in the annuity will change your tax liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Cash-value_life_insurance\"><\/span>6. <strong>Cash-value life insurance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cash-value life insurance is a portion of your savings that you can use for investing and earn interest. You can withdraw or borrow this amount in emergencies. This product offering helps in compounding tax deferrals every year. Moreover, cash value life insurance provides a good amount of dividend payout whenever the interest rates in the economy are on the rise. On the contrary, bonds are reduced in their value with high-interest rates. Hence, investing in cash life insurance is a better option compared to holding a bond. The value of these policies is guaranteed to appreciate with every passing year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few of these\npolicies are capable of providing dividends equal to payouts given by mutual\nfunds, too. In most market situations, the yield\nprovided by the policies is well beyond the\nyield offered by treasury bonds. However, the catch is that the dividend\npayouts from cash value policies are not guaranteed as opposed to yield on\ngovernment bonds. One should try and find companies that have had a good track\nrecord of paying regular dividends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be\nrequired to pay fees or interest to be able to utilize your cash value in the\ninsurance policy. In addition, be aware that the money received from this\nportion will not be passed on to your beneficiaries after\nyour passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Bonds\"><\/span>7. <strong>Bonds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in\nbonds is the traditional way of growing capital in a risk-free environment.\nIt is the simplest way to get guaranteed and regular\nincome from your investment. Be sure to invest in bonds that score high in\ntheir credit rating to reduce your risk exposure to market uncertainties. Bonds\nare available for the short, medium and long-term. They have varying interest\nrates, some have adjustable floating rates, and others have fixed rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors\nmay consider creating a bond ladder. Under this\nstrategy, they purchase bonds with different time\nhorizons, which are in sync with the various requirements of the investor, at\nspecific periods in time. This helps them remain liquid without giving\nup on the opportunity for maximum wealth creation from the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Alternative_investment_funds\"><\/span>8. <strong>Alternative investment funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A retiree can\nconsider alternative investment funds, including convertible bonds, option\nstrategies, and merger arbitrage. These modified investment products and strategies can provide the needed diversification in your portfolio,\nsince they have the least correlation with stock movements. Another advantage\nis that they face lower overall volatility than stock indices. Mutual funds are\nliquid due to lesser volatility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in\nalternative investment funds can be challenging due to the complexity of those\nproducts and asset classes and the difficulty in narrowing down the one\nsuitable for your life situations. Hence, hiring an investment\nmanager or wealth manager is generally preferable. A financial manager is much more\nexperienced and has specialized knowledge about the different investment\noptions available. They can handle the funds better\non your behalf. Investors should be mindful that the fees charged by these fund\nmanagers could be higher than average due to various legal research,\nadministrative, and trading charges that these services entail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[See: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/blog\/investing\/alternative-investments-portfolio\/\"><em>Diversifying Your Portfolio Through Alternative Investments<\/em><\/a><em>]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_bottom_line\"><\/span><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended that retirees invest\nin safe investments in retirement to ensure\nthat they are able to sustain and manage their finances over time.
