Bridging the gap with strategic bond investing.
James and Patricia are concerned about covering healthcare expenses for two years before they become eligible for Medicare. Their travel plans require a steady income stream, but they are wary of depleting their retirement nest egg prematurely. They need a strategy to generate sufficient income while preserving capital and mitigating risk.
Using Golden Door Asset's Bond Yield Calculator, we identified a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds with staggered maturities to provide a predictable income stream for their healthcare expenses. By strategically investing $500,000 in bonds with an average yield of 4.5%, the O'Briens can generate $22,500 annually, covering a significant portion of their estimated pre-Medicare healthcare costs. This allows them to confidently pursue their travel plans without jeopardizing their long-term financial security.
The Bond Yield Calculator helped determine the optimal mix of bond maturities and coupon rates to achieve the desired yield while considering tax implications and credit risk. We also leveraged the Tax Equivalent Yield calculator to ensure optimal tax efficiency.
