FYI: As two recent commentaries demonstrate, in their zeal to promote their agendas, asset managers are claiming that the humble 60/40 portfolio is doomed to the dustbin. But their analysis is flawed. The 60/40 will outlive us all.
Let’s start with a recent Yahoo Finance article titled 60% stocks and 40% bonds...not so fast, which caught my attention. The theme? “The simplest investing idea in the world may have died…60% stocks and 40% bonds...” Then, for drama, the editor included a photograph of a mock 60/40 graveyard with “RIP” on the tombstone.
