Key Highlights1. Rethinking the 60/40 Portfolio Dana Anspach challenges the traditional portfolio model, highlighting the need for personalized risk management:
“It all comes down to being really clear on how you define risk… That’s going to lead to different portfolio strategies that best protect against that risk.”From alternatives to ETFs, understanding your personal timeline and goals is key to crafting a resilient investment plan.
