[T]he better rising equity glidepath approach is to just increase equities in the first half of retirement until it reaches the target threshold, and then level off.... [A]ccelerating the glidepath also reduces the amount of time that the portfolio is 'bond-heavy' ... [It] may be even more effective to simply take interest rate risk off the table by owning short-term bonds instead[.]"
