New Study Supports 100% Equity Investing for Life (Canadian Financial Summit 2025)
Episode Description
Should you really reduce stocks and increase bonds as you get older?
That's been conventional wisdom for decades.
A new international study using long-term data from 39 developed countries challenges both of those assumptions.
The researchers found that a globally diversified all-equity strategy outperformed traditional stock-bond portfolios not only for growth, but even for retirement income reliability and capital preservation.
I presented this research at the Canadian Financial Summit because it directly questions the foundation of conventional wisdom on investing as you age.
