But seriously: would you think NOW of changing your allocation?
Some might argue that would be reactionary...closing the barn door after the horse is out.
But of late we have entered a new era, it seems, of ultra low in interest rates: those modest fixed income returns are now potentially LOSING you money if they are yielding below inflation.
Therefore the counter argument is that it is not too late now to up the equity level (only if you had been worried about low equity levels).
