I would like opinions on the following scenario. I will be retiring at the end of this year at 59. Over the last 40 years my wife and I have accumulated about 10 different investment accounts of various types (cash, 401’s, traditional ira’s, and roth ira’s. I understand the order in which I need to withdraw from during retirement but would like comments on how to setup my asset allocation across these accounts. If for example my overall risk tolerance gives me an 60/40 allocation, should I take an account that will not be needed for over 10 years and allocate it at 70/30 and accounts needed sooner at say 50/50? What I am thinking about is trying to achieve an overall 60/40 allocation while taking more risk with accounts I don’t need for many years and less risk (more principal stability) with short term funds.
I understand this AA will need to be managed as I move through retirement to lessen my risk as I get older but it seems prudent to take advantage of the market with funds not needed in early retirement.
Comments?
