In this episode, Wade and Alex answer listener questions about portfolio allocation in retirement. They discuss the impact of low yields on TIPS and how it affects a retiree's portfolio. They also explore the optimal allocation of assets in taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-avoided accounts. Additionally, they address the role of annuities in retirement income and how they can replace the bond portion of a portfolio. They emphasize the importance of tax diversification and asset location. Finally, they provide insights on investing in stocks and the different factors to consider, such as value, small-cap, and REITs.

Takeaways

• Low yields on TIPS impact a retiree's portfolio and may require a reassessment of risk and allocation.


• Tax diversification is important, but the exact percentages in each type of account are not as crucial as asset allocation and asset location.


• Annuities can play a significant role in retirement income by providing protected lifetime income and reducing reliance on other investments.


• When investing in stocks, it is important to capture market risk and consider factors such as value, small-cap, and REITs.


• Growth indices may not necessarily provide a premium over value stocks in the long term.
