Episode description

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:

  1. That savers should diversify between stocks and bonds.

  2. 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.

In my latest podcast episode you'll discover:

  • Is this new study a high-quality study?

  • What does the study prove?

  • What is the effective way to diversify?

  • In what 2 ways is diversifying with international stocks better than with bonds?

  • Why should investors keep the same allocation to stocks as they get older?

  • Is the all-equity strategy safe?

  • Should we actually invest 67% into international stocks?

  • What studies already on my blog agree with this study?
