What High-ish Equity Valuations Mean for Your Retirement Plan
Christine Benz, via Morningstar Oct. 19, 2020 "[L]ofty equity valuations make a good case for retirees starting out with a lower equity weighting.

By starting out with more conservative portfolios, new retirees have a buffer of safe, nonequity assets that they can spend through as retirement progresses.... The big downside ... is that the return potential of the cash and bond sleeve is ultralow today -- possibly even negative over the next decade.... [O]ne of the best ways to gird your retirement portfolio against the risks of high equity valuations is to stay flexible on withdrawals." |
