What is your age and asset allocation ?
Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
Ages: 46/44
Recently went from 90% stocks/10% bonds to 80% stock/10%bonds/10 % real estate. Will go to 60% stocks at age 50 and retire at 55 unless I start to like working by then.

Re: What is your asset allocation and age, are you retired?
Age 75, retired, our asset allocation is 50/50 and had been 50/50 since age 63, with no cash allocation, and no pension or annuity.Engaging in sloth wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 6:06 pm [Merged into existing discussion -- moderator oldcomputerguy]
DH 60 DW 61, both retired. AA 30/70 (cash not bonds). DW has pension. Strongly considering increasing equity position to an AA of 40/60.
How about you folks? What is your asset allocation and age, are you retired?
Greatly looking forward to your responses fellow Bogleheads.

79 and 73. Comfortable financially with our portfolio, SS and a small pension.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I'm surprised at the number of responses from people age 50+ who have such high asset allocations in equities (stocks). Perhaps I have an antiquated mindset, but I thought that after one turns 50, common wisdom is that a portfolio should be over 50% in cash (e.g. t-bills, CDs).
Have fears of inflation and low interest rates caused those over 50 to be more aggressive in their asset allocation? Has the rapid recovery of the last sharp downtown in March 2020 made a high cash portfolio less attractive?

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I have never thought that a large cash allocation was wise, in my opinion this has nothing to do with current interest rates or the rapid recovery from last year's stock market crash.DTalos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:06 pm I'm surprised at the number of responses from people age 50+ who have such high asset allocations in equities (stocks).

The allocations reported here seem similar to past surveys of allocation versus age. Stock allocation versus age -- 2007, 2011, and 2015, link. There was no significant change in the slope, link.
Perhaps someone with time and good math skills will tabulate the allocations stated here, and do a regression based on this 2000-01 thread.
However recent correlations seem to show that a cash allocation is more suitable than previously. Morningstar (4/13/2021) "Which Bonds Provide the Biggest Diversification Benefits?", link. " . . . it is notable that cash has recently looked a bit better than Treasuries from the standpoint of diversification benefits."

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
Why would you want to have more than half of your portfolio in cash at 50? I’m especially interested in the answer because I turned 50 a couple of days ago and I’m actually considering increasing my exposure to equities to 75/25.DTalos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:06 pm I'm surprised at the number of responses from people age 50+ who have such high asset allocations in equities (stocks).

Some folks simply have a higher risk tolerance, hence, they have a higher stock AA regardless.DTalos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:06 pm I'm surprised at the number of responses from people age 50+ who have such high asset allocations in equities (stocks).

But in some case, if the portfolio is sizable, then the actual dollar amount of the fixed income asset becomes more pertinent. For example, if one’s portfolio has $5 million. 20% of it is $1 million. If your annual expense is $100k, that would provide you 10 years of expenses to ride out the market downturn. So a 80/20 AA in this case is actually not that risky when you look at it from the perspective of “how many years of annual expenses does your fixed income asset can pay for”

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I've never held any amount of cash, other than incidental amounts leftover from trades. When I was 56-57 I started de-risking my PF with bond funds (I'll be 71 in August, have no pension). This went on for around 10 years til I got to 30/70.DTalos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:06 pm I'm surprised at the number of responses from people age 50+ who have such high asset allocations in equities (stocks).

I don't know why anyone would want 50% cash today . . . ? Unless rates get back to the old days, when MMs were paying 5%.

Excluding the stock market drop-off in March 2020, I think people over 50 have memories of the Great Recession of 2008 and how long it took the market to recover from it, as well as October 1987. Websites of "financial planners" suggest at age 50, a portfolio should be 50/50. I know this forum eschews "financial planners" and embraces a do it yourself approach that people have been successful with.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I only consider cash when determining net worth, or as an emergency fund, and don't include it in my AA. Cash doesn't generate dividends or capital gains, and the amount only fluctuates when I spend it. It is however more subject to inflation so I don't keep a lot of it sitting around.Marseille07 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:56 pmI used to exclude EF from AA but now consider cash as part of my fixed income allocation.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
32 years old. 100 percent stocks. If I work until 55 my pensions is 75 percent of my final pay. I don't intend to invest in bonds until 50 at the earliest due to pension.
Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I mean it depends when you are planning to retire. If you still have 10 years until retirement at 50 then 50%+ in fixed income is likely overkill. If you are 50 and you are retiring in 3 years with more than enough, then that makes some sense.

Cash Reserves representing approx 8 months' worth of spending, which is equivalent to roughly 5% of our total portfolio.
Of the non-cash, we are 100% equities, split as follows:

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
I think the perspectives differ on whether you look at cash as part of fixed income or not. And by cash I am talking about checking & savings, and the latter does have interest rates which are low now but were at 2%+ not too long ago.vested1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 7:11 am I only consider cash when determining net worth, or as an emergency fund, and don't include it in my AA.

So my (current) perspective is that cash is a part of my fixed income allocation, which could include bonds but currently just cash (zero-duration bonds).

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
It depends on the amount of cash. If one has a meaningful amount of cash in saving/checking account, it would be close to equivalent to someone who has that amount in a money market fund. Cash is an asset and it can be used to rebalance and such that would affect the overall portfolio performance.Marseille07 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 9:46 amI think the perspectives differ on whether you look at cash as part of fixed income or not.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
The OP said 18 months of expenses in cash. I'd imagine this would be at least 5%~10% of their AA. I'm targeting for 5% myself, I think this is a good amount of fixed income allocation during accumulation.LeslieSmiley wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 9:55 am It depends on the amount of cash.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
Not being snarky or anything. I'm genuinely curious about what your situation is, or reasoning is, for at age 38, having all your investment monies in Roth and taxable accounts - nothing in traditional 401Ks or traditional IRAs. Do you feel like your income is comparatively lower right now than it will be in retirement? Do you think there is no chance that legislation will be passed that raises tax rates for you between now and retirement?Fisherman8 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:03 am Age 38
Roth IRA: Target Date Fund (90/10)
Roth 401K: 100% Stocks
Taxable Account:
80% VTWAX
20% Cash (Settlement Fund)
Like so many others, I've wrestled with Roth versus Traditional. Also, have given some thought to taxable. Ended up diversifying between the three, although about 2/3s is in traditional. Might do some traditional to Roth conversions if my income dips.
To address the topic of this post, I'm 62, and my wife is 59. I don't expect to need any money from my retirement accounts for another three to six years, and we're about 52% equities/45% bonds/3% cash. Actually the 45% in bonds includes a substantial amount of investments that adjust with inflation - G Fund, I-bonds, short-term inflation-protected securities, but also substantial % in intermediate-term bonds. I have a pension that adjusts for inflation, but won't get a significant amount of SS. My wife will get significant SS, but only small pension.

Interesting thought. One negative to this situation currently is the insane housing market which we did not anticipate.

Both mid-30s. We’ve got a triple 60/40 portfolio. 60/40 stocks/bonds. 60/40 US/International within equities. 60/40 total market/small value funds within equities. Average bond duration is 11 years with a somewhat messy mix of TBM, long treasuries, municipals, and TIPs/iBonds accumulated in various accounts.
The reason for the “conservative” AA is being at 120% of target FI number. I’m on the side of “need to take risk” trumping “ability to take risk” in the Swedroe trinity.

Still working on getting my head on straight, working again but quite unhappy at my current position. I've developed a bad habit of taking comfort in the fact that the Ally balance has never gone down.

Re: What is your age and asset allocation ?
When financial planners recommend at least a 50% cash allocation for those over the age of 50, why are they so conservative? Do they assume their clients are no longer working or might become unemployed and that preserving assets takes precedence over the risk of growing the value of assets?
