With traditional stocks and bonds being somewhat unreliable, I suggest considering a portfolio that includes 20-30% in alternatives like private equity and real assets, which are less correlated to the stock market. Historically, a 60-40 split between stocks and bonds has been common, but I propose a shift to 60% stocks, 20% bonds, and 20% alternatives for better stability and returns. Remember, during market downturns, alternatives can help cushion losses, as seen in 2008 when portfolios dropped significantly. I encourage you to research further on this topic and consider adjusting your investment strategy accordingly.
