Target Investment Mix at Age 50 Posted: 16 May 2013 01:29 AM PDT I'm approaching 50 years old. I remember when my mom became 50 and I thought "Man, she's old." :) Anyway, CNN Money ran a series on "Best Moves if You're _____ Years Old." This one is the piece for those 45 to 54 years old and contains a target investment mix at age 50 as follows: 39% U.S. Stocks 40% Bonds 21% Foreign Stocks I get the U.S. and foreign stocks, but does anyone else think the bond amount is too high of a percentage? I do, for two reasons: If you're 50, you still have 30 years or so left to live. Having 40% invested in bonds seems way too conservative. Does anyone else think bonds HAVE to tank big-time somewhere in the future? Interest rates will have to go up, won't they? And when they do, bonds will get killed. Or am I missing something? Sometime in the future I'll be sharing a post on my specific asset allocation (there's a lot of movement now with me selling some funds to buy real estate holdings), but one tidbit I can give you is that I just sold a large portion of my bond holdings because I thought I was over-weighted in them. The reason? Exactly the ones I stated above. So, what's your take on this issue?
