Ideally you’ve been rebalancing your portfolio along the way and your asset allocation is largely in line with your plan and your risktolerance. For example during the 2008-2009 market debacle I looked at funds to see how they did in both the down market of 2008 and the up market of 2009. Focus on risk.
At some point we are bound to see a stock market correction of some magnitude, hopefully not on the order of the 2008-09 financial crisis. As someone saving for retirement , what should you do now? Has the market rally accelerated the amount you’ve accumulated for retirement relative to where you had thought you’d be at this point?
The New York Giants (an old NFL team) won in 2008 and the market tanked in what was the start of the financial crisis. Any investment strategy that does not incorporate your goals, time horizon, and risktolerance is flawed. Approaching retirement and want another opinion on where you stand? Take stock of where you are.
For more years than I’d care to name, I’ve been trying to put my finger on exactly why I have a such a huge problem with the traditional (Think: Riskalyze, now Nitrogen) risktolerance assessments in the financial planning profession. You can actually test various bear markets and adjust accordingly.)
However, it should be well understood that a client’s financial profile includes their risktolerance and their risk capacity. In this article, although we will be focusing on the latter one and why it is significant to determine your client’s risk capacity let’s first understand the difference between the two.
Regardless, the goal of long-term investing is to master the art of maximizing returns and limiting taxes subject to your risktolerance. Just imagine what unknown leaky costs on your investments could mean for your retirement. Do you want high or unknown investment fees to delay your retirement by years? I think not.
A strong savings rate relative to your income can help you build reserves before retirement—and during retirement, the focus should be maintaining a reasonable and flexible withdrawal rate relative to your investable assets. And during periods of high inflation or market volatility, the negative effects of over-spending are magnified.
This includes articulating a policy with regard to investment risktolerance, long-term goals, cash flow needs and sector diversification. It also encompasses intended lifestyle, charitable giving, retirement and estate planning, and liabilities, including anticipated costs for health care.
And then I moved back to London at the end of 2008, which was a really interesting pivot. At the end of 2008, we owned a lot of illiquid assets. And there was a problem with 168 of them at the end of 2008. It was the year I made partner, actually, in 2008. I did that for a couple of years. RITHOLTZ: Good timing, yes.

MIELLE: And then the biggest luck of it all, is I joined Canyon in the ‘90s and there was a tsunami that literally lifted all waves of hedge funds from ‘90 to 2008 and even beyond. Tell us about that period. But it was not a liquidity issue. ’08

They are just a type of account – a retirement account. If you had invested into the stock market in 2008, your Roth IRA probably paid closer in the -30% range.

Early retirements have been taking place a giant uptick in new business formation. We’ve reduced legal immigration for, for jobs dramatically.
I went there because I was fearful that being a professor would be like retiring in your 20s.
