60/40 Didn’t Fail — It Just Wasn’t Built for You
About this episode
The episode discusses the criticisms of the 60/40 portfolio and advocates for a needs-based investment approach.
The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts revisit the classic 60/40 portfolio — why it’s taken criticism in recent years, where it may still hold value, and why a needs-based approach focused on time horizon, liquidity, and real-world spending goals may offer a more practical path forward than any one-size-fits-all allocation.
