Balancing Risk and Reward in Inherited Investments

from 4 Minute Money

You inherited an IRA. Great. But did you also inherit someone else's investment strategy? That "safe" money market fund might feel comfortable, but comfortable and smart are two very different things. Doug Goldstein breaks down why sitting still with an inherited portfolio can cost you money, how a balanced approach can help, and the one simple step you can take this week to make sure your inheritance is actually working for you, not just sitting there. If you're an American living in Israel with a U.S. retirement account, this one's especially for you.
