For retirees, staying in the stock market is critical. How much exposure is the make-or-break question

Investors should be conversative in retirement, but abandoning equities is a big mistake.

The top 3

  1. The Classic 60/40 Portfolio Strategy: This traditional approach allocates 60% of a portfolio to stocks for growth and 40% to bonds for stability, aiming to moderate risk while still providing returns.
  2. The Rule of 100/110/120 for Age-Based Allocation: This guideline suggests subtracting your age from 100 (or 110/120 for longer lifespans) to determine the percentage of your portfolio that should be allocated to stocks, with the remainder in safer assets.
  3. Bucketing Strategy for Retirement Income: This method divides retirement assets into distinct 'buckets' for short-term, medium-term, and long-term spending, with each bucket holding assets matched to its time horizon and risk level.
