I am a big fan of "multi asset" funds (aka "one fund portfolio") as I believe they have emotional/behavioral advantages. You are delegating the investment decisions to the fund manager, so you don't have to worry and can sleep well at night. An example what I'm talking about is a Target Date Fund. Or iShares has an excellent series of ETFs: AOA/AOR/AOM/AOK. A fund like that has a sensible blend of stocks and bonds so you can stop worrying and get on with your life.
If this is real, OP should take his winnings and go into something like 50% AOM, 10% SGOV, 20% SCHD, 20% SCHY and call it a day.
check out AOA/AOR/AOM/AOK. This is bogle style, so X% total equity + Y% total bonds. You can also check Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio or Harry Browne Permanent Portfolio for lower drawdown.
They’re probably much less comfortable with market volatility than you think. I’d suggest an “all in one” product from black rock like AOA or AOM. Simplicity is very under-rated in a portfolio imho.
Just put it in AOM or AOK ETFs
One ETF? * 5 years - AOM (iShares Core 40/60 Moderate Allocation ETF) * 10 years - AOR (iShares Core 60/40 Balanced Allocation ETF) * 20 years - AOA (iShares Core 80/20 Aggressive Allocation ETF) DCA across all 3. But why limit yourself to one?
Usually HYSA or if you want to put in a little more work for a little better return, a treasuries money market fund in a brokerage. This won't make you a lot, but it'll at least keep pace with general inflation (not necessarily house prices). If you're ok with more flexibility on when you buy (ie, you might need to wait a few years for your portfolio to recover), then you can go with a more traditional investment portfolio. I might pick something like AOK or AOM that include both stocks and bonds in one fund so you don't have to manage it: https://www.ishares.com/us/literature/product-brief/ishares-core-esg-allocation-brief.pdf I would advocate also putting a significant portion of this savings [into tax-advantaged accounts for retirement](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Prioritizing_investments), because those have yearly contribution limits that you'll never get back.
If you don't need a lot of growth from your portfolio but want to at least grow a little with relatively low long term risk, maybe something like AOM (a diversified 40/60 stock/bond ETF)? That should at least beat inflation a little bit without too much risk.
AOM is a broadly diversified moderate risk asset allocation ETF. You could put it all in there and be done. It invests in (for all practical purposes) all stocks and all investment grade bonds in the world. You will eventually lose money with it (as with anything), but not like all of your money. In the long term (decades) it will definitely go up unless something truly catastrophic happens.
Dude, you have to lower the risk of your portfolio. You don’t need to have this crazy volatile portfolio. Put it all in a moderate asset allocation fund (AOM) and stop looking at it. Don’t take more risk than you need to. Read about the utility function. At this point, doubling your money would practically be irrelevant for your future goals, while losing half of your net worth will certainly have a big impact.
Finally some good content. AOM retold is definitively worth picking up if you haven’t played it! There are some small mechanic tweaks like right click to auto-train which make it nicer to play in a lot of respects. The campaigns are also really well done with cohesive storytelling across the DLCs.
Yes, there are some iShares ETFs that do this (AOA, AOR, AOM, for example).
Did you know there are ETFs called balanced funds that are designed for the purpose. Funds like FPURX, FBALX, and AOM.
I’m being blunt (sorry for that), but 1) you don’t even seem to know the basics about asset allocation and 2) you think that investing in stocks ETFs is for people that don’t like much risk, and 3) you’re asking for advice on reddit. You shouldn’t handle someone else’s money. Google If You Can by William Bernstein and read it. It’s short and free. If your mom is risk averse, you can use AOM, a moderate risk asset allocation ETF. It holds 40% bonds.
At that age she is likely to have healthcare costs that pop up over the coming years. If I were in her shoes I’d stick to a pretty boring balanced fund and maybe some CDs. Check out AOM.
Holy shit, AOM mention? Love to see it. That soundtrack goes hard.
Thats powder.....Best of luck injection that :-) And even then its way higher prices than $5 per shot. These kind of FDA approved peptiede drugs will never come below $100 per month because they are really difficult and extreme expensive to produce i large quantities. We have to wait until real small molecules AOM hit the market before we will see substantial lower prices. But even then i doubt the retail price would be much below $400 per 4 week in 2023
Questioning rollover advice? I'm questioning my thoughts on a IRA rollover from a previous employer. I've been a client with a local wealth management company for the last few years after retiring. They manage all of my funds except for a 401k from a previous employer. The account had money in two different funds. My thoughts were to rollover one of the two funds and ran it past the CFP and he thought it made sense. When confrence calling to make the transaction the brokerage firm informed us that we couldn't just pull funds from one specific investment to rollover. With a 401k the funds are pulled out of the entire account equally. So I gave it some thought during the call asking his advice and decided to pull all of the funds out. My thoughts after the call... did he know this but wanted a quick decision in order to get the AOM? Maybe I'm upset with myself for not pumping the brakes on it.
This moron is responsible for TEN TRILLION AOM? Holy shit, boys. The end is nigh.
Historically, this diversification has never paid off. When the US had its financial crisis, it brought down almost every single country in the world with it. There are some European stock markets that still haven't recovered. People love to assume that this is the year emerging markets will become developed nations and that Europe will start churning out unicorns, but I really can't see it happening. Europe is still Europe, China is still China, and Mexico is still Mexico. The factors that made them unattractive before still make them unattractive right now, and the things that make the US attractive are still very much alive today. The stock culture, size, and strategic geographical location all make the US the best country to invest in. Always has been always will be. I believe in American Exceptionalism, and if you look at the factors that tumbled past empires, the US is invulnerable to most of them, particularly invasion from neighbors. All of that said, Blackrock has some pretty good etfs that will probably cover your needs. AOM, AOA, AOR, and AOK. The only difference between them is the allocation towards fixed income/stocks. Judging by your post, I would think you have no fixed income, so AOA is probably your best bet.
All my bonds except AOM and AOR.
youre ignoring the context of the message which is why everyone is calling you a moron. AOM =/= assets.
Down 1.9 million users as well and 60bill in AOM gone? That's pretty juicy
I own BLK (best public passive manager) and TROW (best public active manager). All asset managers have been crushed because they get paid based on AOM and asset values have declined.
> But overall, the bigger picture is that he orig purchased for the negative correlation, and for a long term hold. I didn't expect to touch it for at least 5-6 years. TLT is not a 5-6 year hold, it's a 20-30 year hold. Seriously, TLT is something you own literally for the rest of your life. You are going to be invested until the day you die, even in retirement, so your time horizon is WAY longer than you perhaps think. If you need to sell all of your holdings in 5-6 years, than TLT is 100% absolutely the wrong fund for you. > But now I just have the same question- we know that at least 2 more 50bp hikes coming, which is a near certainty to drop TLT more. Maybe below 100? So? The reason you bought TLT was for the (hopefully continued) negative correlation with stocks, there is no good reason currently to think the negative correlation won't continue. > So how do I calculate the risk of opp cost and holding at a loss that will take ? time to recover to break even vs selling now into something less affected by rates, such a a mixed fund like BND as you mentioned? You could do that, but BND won't go up as high during crashes, because the volatility of BND is WAY less than TLT. You bought TLT FOR the volatility and now that it's shown up, you are worried/panicking. That's understandable, but unwise. You bought it specifically because it does wild and crazy things, so that hopefully the next big crash it will skyrocket while stocks crash, and then you rebalance, allowing you to buy stocks super cheap while keeping a positive yield. If you can't handle the volatility, what do you do? The answer, lower the volatility risk, own less equities and own less long term bonds. So something like AOM maybe, which is roughly 50% bonds. Or maybe you need even less equity exposure, something like AOK(about 30% equities). Just know, the lower the risk profile you take on, the less reward you can expect. I totally skipped over your question, because it's not a math problem, it's an emotional problem. Your math problem was solved by your FA, but your emotional situation prevents you from (perhaps) continuing down this path. Only you can answer what is right for you, but it sounds like maybe the FA put you into more risk than you can handle. If that's not the case, then continue to hold. If it is the case, then re-evaluate and pick a risk profile you are comfortable with. You know yourself, you do you. There is no one right answer.
I invest monthly into a fund for retirement and buy passive global index funds. I am not asking for a recommendation of one fund over the other, but rather wonder if there’s a list somewhere of all the passive index funds. I know Black Rock has IVV, AOR, AOM, and AOA Vanguard has VT, VTI, VXUS and VOO I want a website that lists similar ETFs from other big investment firms, and if it has a nifty comparison table with expense ratios and similarities/differences that would be even better.
I have some money allocated to an iShares Fund called AOM. Basically, it’s a fund made up of funds. A mix of stocks, bonds, sectors, etc. It doesn’t have a high growth rate, but is pretty stable. I use it to offset some riskier stocks that bounce around a lot.
AOM for me. It would be better if it would be a random option picker.
COIN 8th Oct $220 Put Premium paid = $400 http://opcalc.com/AOM
Safe in the market is difficult. If you’re nervous I would consider putting it in AOK - I share core conservative allocation etf 30% - 50% equity Or AOM - iShares core moderate allocation etf
Look at these IShares etfs, each holding a mix of other etfs (both bond and equity) that will offer anything from 20-70% bond allocation. AOA - Aggressive Allocation ETF AOM - Moderate Allocation ETF AOK - Conservative Allocation ETF
Right now I'm 38, I have about $550,000 to my name, and I'm trying to figure out where to put my money to retire on a 3% withdrawal rate in 5-8 years. Very low appetite for risk. My money is in a poorly thought out mix of bonds, gold, cash, and crypto. I'm considering robo advisors (Wealthfront, Betterment, Ellevest, Vanguard, M1 Finance), and all-in one funds (Vanguard Moderate Growth/Conservative Growth/Wellington/Wellesley, and iShares AOM). Are any of those ideas any good? Anything else I should consider?

don't know what a screener is, but more diverse means less chance of being effected by sharp downturns (unless everything downturns), so I'm naturally inclined to point to VTI, VT or related broad funds. Otherwise you could look at AOM or AOK which have a certain amount of money set aside for bonds or specifically seek out low volatility ETFs (can google it, don't know the names)
Special thanks to SCHD and AOM for keeping some small amounts of green on my portfolio today, what a shit storm.
