      <title>White Papers: Relief for Your High Anxiety Over Low Interest Rates</title>
      <link>http://www.cliftongunderson.com/Resources/Whitepapers/Details/562</link>
      <description>Investors in the current marketplace are faced with a number of challenges brought on by historically low interest rates. Especially hard hit are retirees and near-retirees, who traditionally shift assets from a diversified portfolio to longer term, higher yield investments as they begin relying on their nest egg for income.

One major challenge right now is that the yields on traditional fixed income investments, such as money market funds, CDs and fixed annuities, are at near historic lows. Slightly riskier fixed income investments, such as taxable and municipal bonds and bond funds, also carry low yields and varying degrees of credit risk.
