As you approach retirement or begin that next stage of life, the financial goals shift to protecting what you’ve saved. There are different ways to accomplish that goal, but with the volatility we’ve seen from the market, does it make sense to move to cash to be safe?

Here’s the question we’ll tackle in this video:

We’ll provide context for this conversation by looking back at the market in the past few years and then explain how we help people answer this question.
