Listen "How To Build The Perfect Portfolio For You"

Episode Synopsis

It’s one of the most important decisions in personal finance. Research has shown that asset allocation, not the stocks you pick, explains 90% of returns (see sources below). That’s why getting your mix of stocks to bonds right matters most. In Episode 20 of Greenstream, we explain why there is no agreement on the single, optimal portfolio, but how we can find the best portfolio for you.
You’ll learn about:

How to align your portfolio with your risk tolerance, capacity, and need
Why your asset allocation should evolve as you approach, are in, and continue through retirement
The role ample liquidity plays in building the perfect portfolio for you – one you can stick with
