The 60/40 Portfolio Is Dead – Here’s What Smart Investors Are Doing Instead - 60401234

The 60/40 portfolio is dead.

Persistent inflation and rising market volatility have made the old "set-it-and-forget-it" portfolio strategy obsolete. The market has changed—higher rates, higher inflation, and bigger risks demand a dynamic, risk-managed approach.

Over the past three years, cumulative inflation has surged by 22%. 

Reality check: In 2022, both stocks (-19%) and bonds (-22%) dropped—exposing the flaws of the 60/40 strategy. It took over two years just to break even. The outdated, set-it-and-forget-it 60/40 strategy no longer provides the protection investors once relied on.
