In this podcast, co-host Susan Dziubinski talks with Morningstar’s Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning Christine Benz. They touch on whether investors are blind to market risk today or if they’re simply thinking long-term. They spend most of their time discussing portfolio construction—specifically, which asset classes to own, what role international stocks can play, and the types of bonds that work best for most investors.
Benz shares some of her favorite funds and exchange-traded funds to include in an investment portfolio. They close with some rapid-fire questions about how to invest an IRA that’s sitting in cash, whether time horizon or risk tolerance is a more important consideration when constructing a portfolio, and the most underrated investment strategy today.
