The issue with getting too conservative too quickly is that you bring inflation, longevity, and interest rate risk into the picture! This is NOT an ideal situation for retirees in 2024!
In this episode, I discuss the three reasons I believe most investors get too conservative too early, my issue with “Risk Tolerance” as the primary driver of asset allocation, and the concept of “Risk Capacity.”
Instead of selecting your asset allocation based on how you feel, or overly simplistic rules of thumb, reverse engineer your asset allocation based on your personalized financial goals and “required rates of return!” Meaning, don’t invest based on how someone ELSE tells you to invest but invest based on your priorities and values.
