In this episode, we take a clear look at the traditional 60/40 portfolio—how it earned its reputation as the foundation of balanced investing, what recent market conditions have revealed about its limitations, and whether it can still play a meaningful role for today’s investors. We also dig into the growing interest in alternative investments, examining the factors driving this shift, the types of assets investors are exploring, and how these strategies aim to complement or replace the classic stock-and-bond mix.
