Beginner Asset Allocation, But Slower: From 100% Stock to a Mix You Can Hold
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Asset allocation is how you split money between stocks, bonds, and cash to balance growth and stability.
- Moving from 100% stocks to a stock/bond mix is about reducing volatility so you can stay invested through rough markets.
- Try simple mixes like 80/20, 60/40, or 40/60 and use a “sleep test”: which mix could you hold through a bad year without selling?
- The best beginner allocation is one you understand and can stick with, not the one that looks smartest on paper.
