Investment risk is often discussed in terms of potential returns. For many retirees, the more important question is how much risk is actually necessary.
A retirement portfolio should reflect a person's income needs, time horizon, and tolerance for market fluctuations. When risk exposure is higher than required, a portfolio may become vulnerable to market volatility during retirement.
Evaluating allocation discipline and understanding how investments support a broader retirement strategy can help individuals better align their portfolio with their long-term goals.
