Ep. 9 - Portfolio Construction 101


Listen Later



Building a portfolio that supports your retirement goals isn’t about chasing the hottest stock or reacting to headlines — it’s about smart design, strategic diversification, and aligning everything with your time horizon and risk tolerance.


In this episode, Ben and Arnold pull back the curtain on what actually goes into constructing a resilient, retirement-ready investment portfolio. 💼


We cover:

✅ The most important investment decision you’ll ever make (hint: it’s not stock-picking)

✅ How much of your portfolio should be in bonds

✅ The power of global diversification

✅ Why portfolio performance often doesn’t match what the headlines say

✅ Practical questions you can ask your advisor to make sure you're on track


Whether you’re managing your own investments or working with an advisor, this is your crash course in portfolio construction done right.
