Please note that an increased level of risk to principal is typically associated with higher rates of return. Also, rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. Based on historical average rates of return for the various asset classes (e.g. stocks, bonds and short-term liquid instruments), a rate of return outside the range of 2%-20% may be an unrealistic assumption.
Based on historical rates of inflation, an inflation rate below 2% may be an unrealistic assumption.
