Retirement Talk Podcast with Laura Stover

Simple diversification used to be the go-to plan for a typical portfolio. A balanced plan of stocks, bonds, and cash would simply do the trick. But that type of diversification has been proven less effective in recent years with the abundance of market volatility. Today, Laura Stover, RFC® takes on financial guru Dave Ramsey’s version of a Safe withdrawal rule.

As we approach retirement, our priorities begin to shift. While we still want to grow our money and stay ahead of inflation, protecting what we've accumulated and generating income become top priorities. Traditional diversification, which involves a mix of stocks, bonds, and cash, has proven less effective in recent years due to increased market volatility. A major risk retirees face is having a big market pullback at the same time they're withdrawing their retirement paycheck. This can lead to a negative sequence of returns To mitigate this risk, it is essential to divide assets among different baskets or segments. By separating assets into different time frames and corresponding risk profiles, investors can balance the need for income today with the potential for growth in the future.

It is important to stay informed about market trends and adapt your retirement strategy accordingly. Market volatility and economic conditions will continue to change, requiring investors to explore alternative diversification strategies and consider new factors when constructing their portfolios. By staying proactive and working with a trusted financial advisor, individuals can navigate the complexities of retirement planning and retire with confidence.
