In this episode of The Market Moment, financial professionals Matt, Lee, and John dive deep into one of the most frequently asked questions: What is the ideal asset allocation when entering retirement? The discussion covers: -The importance of balancing growth vs. safety as retirement approaches -Common mistakes retirees make with overly conservative portfolios -Why solving for income should be the first priority in retirement planning -The pros and cons of bonds, CDs, annuities, and equity exposure -The classic 60/40 portfolio rule—and whether it still makes sense today -How longevity, withdrawal needs, and market risk all factor into retirement strategy   This week's Market Moment concerns: -Recent market reactions to geopolitical events and tariffs -Insights into earnings season, job market data, and interest rate expectations -A historical comparison of market cycles, tech bubbles, and the rise of AI-related investments   The guys emphasize that while general rules of thumb—like a 50-70% equity allocation—can be useful, every retirement plan should be tailored to individual goals, income sources, and risk tolerance. They highlight the value of working with a trusted financial advisor to develop a flexible and durable retirement income strategy.   🔍 Whether nearing retirement or already retired, this episode offers actionable insights on how to align your portfolio with long-term needs while navigating an uncertain market landscape.   🔔 Like, subscribe, and you can email us at TheMarketMoment@mach1fg.com .
