The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike — the first in three years — is a policy shift that will have a domino effect for retirees.
Those in retirement and those nearing retirement need to factor interest rates into their investment decisions. To explain what the Fed hike might mean, Yahoo Finance talked to several wealth management advisers and finance professionals.
First off, it's important to keep in mind that one quarter-point rate hike won't drastically alter anyone's fortunes.
"A single rate hike rarely helps or hurts a retiree outright," said Michael Cochran, chief investment officer at BentOak Capital in Fort Worth, Texas. "It reshuffles the deck where there are benefits, but also some pressures."
A rate hike could be good news because it means that savings yields will likely rise, said LendingTree chief consumer finance **** yst Matt Schulz.

White Sox fans received a unique souvenir and took part in a papal-themed celebration during the White Sox-Reds game at Rate Field, where every fan was given a White Sox papal MITRE.

"You look out. Everyone's got the hat. That's, like that's family," Sox fan Annie McClung said.
David Schulz said the event resonated beyond baseball.
"It's special. I mean, it's special for the whole city of Chicago," Schulz said.

According to meczyki.pl, Borussia Dortmund's chief scout Bastian Schulz was conducting some research in the Polish topflight last week.
Schulz attended Legia Warsaw's 3-1 victory over Zagłębie Lubin on Sunday to observe attacking midfielder Marcel Regula.
Regula's employer confirmed to the Polish sports portal that the Westphalian giants are intrigued by the 19-year-old talent.
Meanwhile, Sky Germany also reported several days ago that fellow Bundesliga side 1.FC Köln were also keen to sign the youngster.
It's clear that if Borussia Dortmund goes ahead with the deal for the midfielder, Köln won't be able to compete financially.

Prior to the Class 7A state championship football game last December, Lake Mary athlete Tavarius 'TJ' Brundidge Jr., was a little-known college prospect with plenty of upside, but little exposure.
After taking a handoff from teammate Barrett Schulz and scoring the game-winning touchdown during a Hail Mary-pass play from quarterback Noah Grubbs, Brundidge became an overnight star.
"I've been having to hold myself to a higher standard, really keep my head high and be humble. I don't want that one play to dictate my whole future," Brudidge said. "I want to show people what I can really do."
He can play receiver or running back and he showed some glimpses of what he can do in the Rams' 24-24 spring-game tie against Jones, scoring on a 60-yard, catch-and-run pass play from quarterback Remy Jarman. Brundidge scored two touchdowns in the game.
