Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

So I had a lot of bonds in my portfolio.

But my attitude initially was quite arrogant, I think.

Making Money

You know, I'd been at the investment bank.

I thought I knew it inside out.

But markets tell you always you don't know anything.

Making Money

You might think you do, but you don't.

And you've got to be humble.

But anyway, initially I was quite cautious.

Then I started doing the research for the videos and I started to see, you know, the Dimson Marsh Staunton stuff, equity returns being amazing long term.

And then I started to take a bit more risk.

And then I think, you know, I reached the point where Pension Craft really took off and I could take a lot of risk.

And then I went, you know, single global equity fund.

So those were the steps.

Making Money

And then I reached enough and I thought, well, now I can de-risk.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

Yeah, it's like a perpetual bond or a kind of annuity to your business.

Making Money

So equity is now 60%, and then the fixed income side is 40%.

Making Money

And, you know, so I still get some of the upside if markets go up like they have recently.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

You know, I think that's great.

Making Money

But if they go down, I can rebalance and I get some of the extra juice because you're buying at a lower price for the equity.

Making Money

So, you know, you get the equity rebalancing benefit as well, which you don't get if you're 100% equity.
