Study Supports a Strategy of Combining Income Annuities with Mutual Funds in Retirement

Mark J. Warshawsky and Gaobo Pang put six payout methods through thousands of Monte Carlo simulations. Their findings show that, in terms of generating income and leaving a legacy, it makes sense to annuitize 25% of one's savings at retirement.
