In this video, I will demonstrate the importance of building a robust retirement portfolio that goes beyond the limitations of the S&P 500, providing you with lasting financial independence. Through a comprehensive backtest, we compare the performance of two strategies: one fully invested in the S&P 500, and another consisting of a 60% allocation to stocks (S&P 500) and 40% to bonds (US 10 Year Treasuries). Furthermore, we explore an even more diversified approach by incorporating Large Cap, Small Cap, International Developed, Emerging Markets, and 10 Year Treasuries. Through this analysis, you will witness how diversification and disciplined rebalancing across various asset classes, sectors, and geographical regions have historically outpaced inflation, reduced volatility and risk, and increased the probability of achieving financial success.
