Podcast Episode 379: Is Your Portfolio Ready for Retirement?
Retirement is a significant milestone in life, and preparing for it requires careful planning and strategic financial management. Knowing when to dial back the risk in your portfolio can help protect your portfolio and keep you on track in retirement. In the latest episode of the Money Wisdom podcast, financial planners Jake Doser, CFP®, CPWA® and Nicholas J. Colantuono, CFP® answer a question about when to adjust your investment strategy as you approach retirement.
Jake and Nick discuss the common concerns faced by individuals nearing retirement. The shift from growth-focused investments to income and security is a crucial aspect of retirement planning. As Jake points out, “Retirement is a journey, not a destination.” This perspective emphasizes the need for a well-structured plan that aligns with your retirement goals.
One of the keys to protecting your retirement is having a diversified portfolio that considers tax implications and risk assessment. Nick explains, “It’s important to assign purpose to dollars and to break down people’s mindset of thinking.” This involves segmenting your portfolio into different buckets for growth, income, and safety, ensuring that each part serves a specific purpose in your retirement plan.
There’s also an even greater need for ongoing risk assessment when you’re getting close to retirement. As Nick notes, “Nobody wants to lose money that they didn’t have to lose because they were taking risks they didn’t have to take.” Understanding your risk tolerance and adjusting your investment strategy accordingly is vital to maintaining financial stability in retirement.
