In Your 50s & 60s? Here's What "Risk" Should Look Like Right Now

from The Pilot’s Advisor Podcast · host Ryan Fleming

Many pilots assume that as retirement gets closer, they should automatically become more conservative with their investments. But according to Ryan, that's not always the right move. He explains why risk management has less to do with your age and more to do with your time horizon, income sources, and retirement goals. If you're trying to strike the right balance between growth, protection, and income planning, Ryan shares a valuable framework for thinking about risk. Here’s what we cover in this episode: ✈️ Risk Management: Matching risk to your situation 📅 Time Horizon: Why age isn't the deciding factor ⚖️ Asset Allocation: Finding the right balance 🚨 Common Mistakes: When being too conservative backfires 💰 Income Planning: Building retirement paychecks   Retire Pilots - https://retirepilots.com Get your FREE Retirement Toolkit - https://d74164fb.pages.infusionsoft.net/ Pilot Tax - https://pilot-tax.com/ The Pilot's Advisor Podcast is also on video.
