This week the theme was: 5 Investments Every Retiree Should Own

In case you missed any episodes, here’s the rundown of an ideal portfolio for someone who retires today in my humble opinion:

• High Quality Dividend Growing Stocks - 45% of your total portfolio

• High quality bond ladder - 35% of your total portfolio

• All cap growth (US) based strategy - 10% of your total portfolio

• International stocks - 5% of your total portfolio

• Money market/short term bonds or CDs - 5% of your total portfolio

Today, I’m finishing up the portfolio mix by adding in an international component.

How to invest: Definitely mutual funds or ETFs that specialize in this area. I actually prefer mutual funds here, because although you might pay a little more, humans making decisions here is best rather than just a broad mix of investments.

Today, I’m talking about stocks again, specifically, how to fill gaps where the dividend strategy falls short. Earlier this week, I talked about the importance of high quality dividend growth stocks being a core holding in your retirement portfolio.
