April is Financial Capability Month, so it’s a good time to brush up on your investing basics.
In this episode of the Individual Investor Show, Jenna Brashear sits down with Craig Israelsen to chat about his newest article on retirement allocation in the April issue of the AAII Journal. Israelsen argues that even though there is no one perfect asset allocation for everyone during the retirement years, with at least some commitment to equities, there are several viable strategies you can consider.
In the second part of the show, Charles Rotblut talks with Paul Merriman to discuss his recent article, “The Pains and Gains of Investing,” which uses hypothetical performance of five simple equity portfolios to explain different risk measures so that you can choose the ones that matter most to you.
