60/40 Split

About this lesson

The classic 60/40 portfolio is the most popular strategy in the world—but history shows it’s far from safe. In fact, those who use it have been totally or nearly wiped out in dozens of countries throughout history. That’s why I call it "the scariest table in investing." It reveals a hidden truth: without a back-tested game plan to anticipate economic cycles and debt crises, you’re not prepared. At this stage in my life, it’s my primary goal to help others understand concepts like this one because they’ve been so helpful to me. If you’re interested in learning more about how to create your own investment game plan, you might want to check out the Dalio Market Principles Program I created with the @wealthmanagementinstitute (WMI) in Singapore.
