Many folks look at retirement as an end point, and believe they should significantly reduce their market risk when they retire. In reality, retirement is merely a new chapter for your investment portfolio.
Maintaining some market risk is often necessary for retirees. In fact, if you reduce your market risk too much, you begin introducing more longevity risk to the portfolio, which is a long-term risk that is much harder for most people to conceptualize.
How much investment risk to include depends on the individual's age, appetite for risk, their income needs compared to the size of their investment portfolio, and any other investment goals they may have.
Pulling your funds out of the market in favor of "low risk" options like CDs, money market accounts, annuities, and bonds my reduce short term market volatility, but can also can increase longevity risk. This is the risk that you run out of money or have to significantly cut back later to prevent that from happening. While you may need to make some portfolio adjustments when you retire, many people should still have a meaningful portion of their portfolio allocated for growth potential.
To help reduce volatility in your portfolio, we can balance equity growth with an appropriate amount of fixed income, or invest your funds in high dividend-paying equities. Occasionally, a fixed annuity or bond ladder may be used to further control volatility.
Our investment professionals are dedicated to educating you on the markets and helping you develop and stick with your investment plan for the long-term.
