If you wanted to do your best to approximate a 5% annualized return over the next 8 years, but were hoping not to be in anything with much risk, what would you do with the money at issue? Thank you.

Being that that’s a relative, could you be more precise in how you define that? You’re looking to protect the nominal principal or more concerned about inflation risk, etc?

Tbills get you fairly close to that.

Treasury ladder would get you 5.24% to 4.4% guaranteed with zero risk for the next 8 years.

What are 5 year CDs paying? You could try to build a ladder.

8-year AAA munis are trading ~ 3.30%. Depending on which tax bracket you're in, that gets you around 5% tax-equivalent.

8 years is a very specific time frame. Why don’t you share a little more context.

ATHENE had a fixed annuity paying 6.15% for five years I believe. But that was a couple weeks ago.

An 8 year single A rated corporate bond will get you over 5.00%. Wal-Mart, IBM etc.
