Within the next month or so I and DW will be getting our rollover IRAs from the corporate pension fund. Small, Professional Corp, terminating due to my retirement. She worked for me in PC..
When we get this chunk, we will be sitting on about 90% of our "nut" in IRAs.
I'm a long time Bernstein AA guy, right now at 60% Stock (well, down to 55% thank you very much), and 40% Bonds (20% short term, 20% intermediate term) all in Vanguard Admiral Shares...
So, I'm thinking just going 50% Wellington, 50% Wellesley in the IRAs, and just "set it and forget it"...
even assuming another 30% drop in equities, there would still be enough in the IRAs to provide us our desired lifestyle with a 3.5% WR.
Thoughts? Suggestions? What I"ve done , managing this money myself in the past is simply every 12 months rebalance. Why not let someone else do that?
