Settling the 60/40 Debate: Is the Traditional Stocks-Bonds Mix Still Relevant? (Ep. 16)
As the economy copes with high interest rates and stubborn inflation, you may have come across an unsettling question: Is the traditional portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds still relevant?
The short answer is yes. But there are some caveats to consider, like everything else in investing.
In this episode, Peter Anastasian and Charlie Massimo explain how the traditional 60/40 investment portfolio model can be strategically used to manage risk and navigate market volatility — so you can sleep better at night.
Charlie and Peter discuss:
- The importance of diversification, rebalancing, and patience (against being swayed by media narratives)
- How to avoid common investing mistakes
- The role of short-term treasuries in risk management and stability
- Why you should consider individual risk tolerances, age, and other crucial factors
- And more!
