For years, conventional wisdom has preached the benefits of diversifying between stocks & bonds and gradually shifting to safer investments as we age.
But what if these widely accepted strategies are fundamentally flawed?
A newly published, high-quality study is flipping the script on traditional investment advice, making a compelling case for a 100% equity strategy throughout life.
This research, backed by robust data from 39 developed countries and spanning long-term investment horizons, challenges two key conventional wisdoms:
-
That savers should diversify between stocks and bonds.
-
That young people should invest more heavily in stocks than when they are older.
Instead, the study reveals that an all-equity portfolio—with a notable tilt toward international stocks—outperforms traditional stock-bond strategies in building wealth, ensuring reliable retirement income, and preserving capital.
