Buckingham Strategic Advisors: Is the 60/40 Portfolio Dead?

Buckingham Strategic Advisors: Is the 60/40 Portfolio Dead?

A recent Wall Street Journal article questioned whether investors should continue using the traditional 60/40 portfolio: a mix of 60% U.S. stocks and 40% bonds. 

In this episode of Buckingham Perspectives, Chief Investment Officer Kevin Grogan covers the current state of the 60/40 portfolio, reviews historical and forward-looking returns, and concludes the 60/40 portfolio is not dead, though some investors might want to consider a modest allocation to alternatives to diversify their portfolio.
