We've all heard the trope…
"A 60/40 stocks/bonds portfolio is the best to hold long-term."
Well, allow us to dispute that with a resounding cry of "bullsh*t."
While the 60/40 portfolio does have a compelling history with several decades of good performance…
Since 2000, this hasn't been the case.
Just take a look…
Looking closer, 2022 was actually the worst year in history for many stock and bond funds.
In fact, 2022 was only the second time in over 40 years that both stocks and bonds posted losses for two consecutive quarters.
Why?
Sparing the details, the primary reason was inflation, which hurts both stocks and bonds simultaneously.
And with a recession – or another market downcycle – looming, the traditional 60/40 portfolio looks even more worrisome.
So, if a 60/40 portfolio no longer works, what do you do instead?
You build a diversified portfolio that combines growth and income that also benefits from inflation or economic downturns (like this one).
