Hello all and happy 2021.
I'm about to do some rebalancing and have a question that hopefully some of the wise folks here can help me out with. The background:
- 52 years old, retired 6 years now.
- Have funds in rollover IRA, Roth IRA, and taxable, 65/35 stocks/bonds.
- Taxable savings is intl stock mutual fund, covering that part of my overall asset allocation since tax efficient.
- I live and drink beer by withdrawing from said taxable intl stock fund in January then rebalancing.
- IRAs are mostly a mix of all three asset classes.
The question:
Someday I will be withdrawing from IRAs when the well runs dry on the taxable account, which should happen after I'm 59.5 years old. At that point the IRAs will likely be about the same asset mix of 45% us stock, 20% intl stock, 35% bond funds.
Assuming I'd be withdrawing a combination of Rollover IRA up to a certain (to be determined) tax bracket then Roth for what i need over that, is there a certain asset class that should be in that Roth? Currently the Roth is all total stock mkt index with Rollover being a mix of things, I haven't given it much thought since won't be touching them for at least 8 more years.
Sometimes I wonder if the Roth should either mimic the overall asset mix within itself so if market tanks when I'm withdrawing it doesn't suffer outsized damage compared to the other IRA.
Thanks in advance. Second post in over 15 years, maybe I'll have another question in 2035.
