BlackRock's $1.7 trillion bond chief explains why it's about to become much harder to save for retirement — and shares his best advice for doing it successfully

He estimates that 1.8 million people in the US will hit the retirement age of 65 every six months — double the pace from 20 years ago. Interest rates were near record lows during the decade. And so investors, starved of the yields that bonds provided in their heyday, tapped riskier assets for their income needs.

Rieder estimates that roughly 1.8 million people will reach the retirement age of 65 every six months — double the pace from 20 years ago. "That outsized demand will clash with a sobering decline in the net new supply of yielding assets," Rieder said in a recentHe estimates that net issuance of fixed-income assets from treasuries to investment-grade corporate bonds will fall by nearly 30% in 2020 from 2019.

And there's one more complication: global growth has slowed this year, and so it is not the best time to be reaching for low-quality credit either.
