Before 2015, the age 71 and higher RRIF minimum withdrawal rates were
very close to a tweaked VPW with the following setup: internal rate 6.6%, last withdrawal age 99.5, cap of 20% on withdrawal rate.
Since 2015, the age 71 and higher RRIF minimum withdrawal rates are
very close to a tweaked VPW with the following setup: internal rate 3.3%, last withdrawal age 99.5, cap of 20% on withdrawal rate.
VPW was inspired from the age 71 and higher RRIF minimum withdrawal rates. I prefer VPW because it uses the same model prior to age 71 and it modulates its internal rate based on the portfolio's asset allocation.
The 6.6% internal rate was completely out of whack; were they expecting retired people to be invested into a 100% stock portfolio with an expected 6.6%
real return?
Even the newer 3.3% internal rate could be considered pretty aggressive, as investors usually put their bonds and GICs into their RRSP/RRIF. The current real yield on 30-year Real Return Bonds is approximately 0.5%, 3% lower. This implies an expected loss of 3% per year in
inflation-adjusted minimal RRIF withdrawal amount after age 70.
