Are Bonds Still the Best Way to Manage Risk?

πŸ“Š For decades, bonds have been the go-to investment for managing risk. But is that still true in today’s market?

πŸ“ˆ With inflation remaining elevated and interest rates potentially moving higher, many investors are asking whether the traditional 60/40 portfolio is enough.

In this interview, Chris McIntire with McIntire Retirement Services and Erin Kennedy discuss:

  • Why bonds may not provide the same stability they once did
  • What 2022 taught investors about diversification
  • How fixed indexed annuities, structured notes, and buffered ETFs may fit into a risk management strategy
  • The questions to ask before making changes to your portfolio

Every investor’s goals and risk tolerance are different, which is why it’s important to understand all of your options before making investment decisions.
