Money, Taxes & Freedom

Is the 60/40 Portfolio Still a Smart Strategy?


Listen Later

Are the “gold standard” rules of retirement planning quietly becoming outdated? In this episode of Money, Taxes, and Freedom, Bryan and Shane Hopkins revisit the traditional 60/40 portfolio and 4% withdrawal rule to see if they still hold up in today’s market. They explore why changing conditions, like lower bond yields and market volatility, have challenged long-standing assumptions, and how adding complementary assets may help create more balance. The conversation also breaks down sequence of returns risk and why withdrawal timing matters for long-term income. It’s a practical look at evolving strategies for modern retirement planning.
