Stable value for capital preservation and diversification
Stable value strategies offer principal preservation and competitive income that have the potential to outpace inflation, with limited volatility.
- Stable value strategies are conservative retirement investments that have performed well relative to other principal preservation strategies in varying market and interest rate environments.*
- Historically, stable value strategies have provided attractive diversification benefits in 401(k) plans, and have generally generated yields that have outpaced inflation.
- In volatile interest rate environments, stable value strategies can be appealing because of their short duration and potential for steady returns.
- Plan sponsors should be aware of the unique construction of stable value strategies and portfolio management considerations.
