Deriving income from investments

However, always be mindful of the following:

  • Invest about a third of your retirement accumulation in equity. These investments will help you beat inflation in the long years of retirement. Opt for two or three diversified equity funds such as flexi-cap funds.
  • Invest the amount equal to first year's income requirement in a liquid fund and create a monthly SWP to derive regular income.
  • Invest the balance in safe debt funds which don't take aggressive bets on interest rates or credit quality. Funds such as short-duration funds can be a good choice.
  • Rebalance your portfolio once a year by transferring the next one year's income requirement to a liquid fund and keep the equity allocation in the 33-35 per cent range. Keep following this year after year.
