I’m about 2 years out from retirement (even though I may continue on a 2 or 3 day a week basis).
I recently read that, at my age, (69) my SMSF “really shouldn’t be in equities”.
If that is the case, what are the alternatives to equities for an SMSF-er of my age?
I am currently 55% cash, having brought that up from 30% over last few months.
A: Thanks for the question. I don’t agree in general with the statement that “you shouldn’t be in equities”. Most people at 69 will live (statistically) for another 20 to 25 years – which is probably several economic cycles – I would be surprised if you don’t need some growth assets.
Obviously, I can’t make this statement about you because I don’t know anything about your personal financial situation, investment objectives or particular needs.
Alternatives to equities – cash, term deposits, fixed interest securities, hybrid securities, mortgage funds, commercial property, infrastructure, collectables such as art etc
