What do you investor pro's expect for a rate of return on your investments in terms of % ? Does 5% sound decent ? Talked to a financial guy the other day that was highly recommended by some people I know. He said he can almost guarantee a 5% return.

He said low risk, but we didnt really get into the time....I just assumed he meant long term because we were talking about a retirement sort of income?

My thinking was say I invest 500k with a 5% annual return it would make about 25,000 a year or around $2000 a month ??

I guess I should have asked a better question. Was he talking about 5% annualized return over a period of say 10-20 years ?

Let's say the numbers you posted actually work out......can you withdraw that 25K per year ?

What is the annual cost of the investment ? So would that 5% be net after costs or gross before management fees ?

In this environment I would be hesitant to believe anyone who uses the word 'guarantee" or "almost guarantee."

If this is an annuity.............you already know my personal feelings on that.

One last thought..........how much will it cost you to get out of his investment ?

5% is a good number, your thoughts of taking out $25K a year on $500K is pretty safe thinking. Of course some years you may make 7% on that and others maybe 3% but should be able to safely average 5%
over a time period.

Over the last year my 401k has a -16% ROI, so I'd be plumb happy with a +5% return!! Thanks sleepy Joe!

Ken, no this is not an annuity. His feelings on those mirrored yours. Actually he said they were not even an option.

The way i understood it was that the 5% would be net after costs. This same fellow set my sister and her husband up. They wanted to have about $4500 a month coming in when they retired. That included a small pension and CPP, plus their investments which came to about 350k. I didnt ask about the cost of getting out! Good question that I will ask.

Well, like I said before, Im not very knowledgable about investments, but its a tough sell when I can make more with a piece of property than I can by selling it!

Depending on the property, that is not always easy to do. You need to think outside the box. One thing to keep in mind when selling a property is to assign some value to the mineral estate.

I think we may see property prices correct. I think even more than higher interest rates would indicate.

What is "mineral estate"? The property I have are all part of my business except a couple of 5 acre parcels, so I know what i can make with them from year to year. The problem is I have to work for that money! I cant just sit around and collect a check.

What are the income streams coming off the 500K? Are they all capital gain or are some regular or qualified dividends and or interest? Capital gains federally are taxed at a cap of 15% and with lower incomes much lower. Dividends and inerest are taxed at the income tax rates of 12% 22% etc. I don't know where the interest or cash returns will go in the coming 1-2 years but someone stating 5% almost for certain has most of your funds in securities that have moderate to high risk which is not an issue for many over a 20-35 year growth time period, but not such a good deal when pulling out for living needs in retirement. I know persons who needed to take out monies to live on during the 2008-2009 down turn and taking out 20K on 500K is one thing, taking out 20K on 300K is another thing for sure. Also are you willing or wanting to lower your principal each year for say 20 years or so and have little left or do you want to maintain a higher principal and live off the earnings for the most part?

I know some planners advise investors to say take what they feel they will need for say 5 years and put that sum in a fairlly secure or stable investment and let the rest of the portfoliio be exposed to higher risks and hopefully more growth.
We have done that and don't need to be taking out funds from our securities that are now down about 15-20%.

I honestly cant answer many of your questions. I know he believes in mutual funds so I assume thats where he would put the money ? My idea was to live off the earnings not lower the principal. I have other property I could sell for quite a bit more should I need too, but Im not much of a gambler. I guess I thought 500k would earn more than it apparently will because I make a lot more off the property than 5% of its value.

5% would be fairly good for a GIC locked in for 5 years.
You can take intrest out monthly.
I been doing that for about 20 years until recently.
Have to pay tax on the intrest you take out.It will not be much unless you have other income and it puts you in a higher tax bracket.
I like GIC,even though they are lower intrest there is no risk similar to a gov't bond only higher intrest than a bond..
They are good if you are investing a trust fund for someone else that you dont want to expose to risks.
Most younger people starting out will want something that yeilds more to be re invested and not taken out while they are earning to minimize tax liability.

The way things are going you may want to hold off for a bit-intrest rates are on the way up.

Yes I think you are right. Interest rates are for sure going to go up. Good time to have no debt.

You answered your own question with this statement.

" I guess I thought 500k would earn more than it apparently will because I make a lot more off the property than 5% of its value."

tell financial guy thanks but no thanks and invest in more land....invest in yourself.

No. 5% sucks. A GOOD financial advisor would have you making double that or more.
