Sixty-seven-year-old Paul invests using index funds. Over the years, his exposure to US tech stocks has helped him build up a sizeable retirement pot — but recent stock market volatility is making him worry.
Now that he’s no longer working, Paul wonders if he should diversify into other equity markets, consider buying bonds, or an annuity. But he is finding this is hard to do without looking at the bigger picture of his finances in retirement.
Financial Times consumer editor Claer Barrett is joined by Adam Walkom, co-founder of financial planning firm Permanent Wealth Partners, and Moira O’Neill, an award-winning journalist with a column in the weekend edition of the FT.
