Sequence of Returns Risk – Why Early Retirement Losses Hit Hardest
A market downturn early in retirement, when you’re actively withdrawing from your portfolio, does far more damage than the same downturn mid-career. Selling shares at depressed prices to fund living expenses permanently reduces the portfolio’s ability to recover. Keep one to two years of expenses in cash or short-term bonds so you’re never forced to sell in a down market.
