20/20 Money Episode #186 – Celebrating diversification, the role of fixed income, portfolio distributions in retirement, and investing in challenging markets with Eric Nelson, CFA

May 31, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Eric Nelson (@servowealth on Twitter). Eric joins us back on the show to talk through being an investor in a choppy market, as we’re recording this as the major markets are knocking on the door of a bear market, which is when markets decline 20% from their previous highs. We talk about celebrating diversification, the role of fixed income in the current interest rate environment, portfolio distributions in retirement, and investing in challenging markets when you haven’t taken action on your portfolio in a long time.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Eric Nelson.
