The balanced portfolio — reported by many to have died in 2022 — is experiencing a revival.
The iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (AOR) that mimics the strategy lost 15.6% in 2022, including reinvested dividends.
Investors sitting tight were rewarded, however, as 2023's run-up in stocks helped lift the 60/40 model.
"And thanks to higher interest rates, investors are getting much higher compensation for taking interest rate risk compared to 2021-2022."
A 60/40 portfolio isn't right for all investors and their situations, but it does create a foundation for sound investments, said Preston Cherry, CFP and founder of Concurrent Financial Planning.
