“Is the 60/40 portfolio dead”? That was a topic making big financial headlines in 2022. But so far this year, media outlets have been walking back on that sentiment. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean talks to Christine Benz, Morningstar's director of personal finance, about portfolio construction, the 4% rule, and what it all means for you. Later in the episode, wealth planner Isabel Barrow joins to discuss the ins and outs of sticking with a diversified portfolio.

 

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as hosts of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
