FYI: For years, investors have relied on balanced portfolios to provide growth potential while managing volatility and helping to protect against market downturns. The classic balanced portfolio, with a 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds, has served many investors well. Now uncertainty over rising interest rates and stock market corrections has many investors questioning whether this traditional stock and bond balance remains a good approach.
