A retirement portfolio should reflect both the money you will need and the level of risk you can bear. Age alone is not enough to determine an allocation. The referenced video discusses inflation, diversification and gradual investing, but it does not prescribe a retirement portfolio or guarantee returns. This guide pairs those broad ideas with investment-planning guidance from the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
Questions to ask before setting an allocation
- How much reliable, recurring income do you have, and what is the monthly gap between income and expenses?
- Which funds must be available soon, and which have a longer investment horizon?
- Would a temporary fall in portfolio value affect essential expenses?
- How well do you understand the fees, withdrawal terms and risks of each asset type?
The Stock Exchange of Thailand suggests considering your spending goals and the time horizon after retirement, while separating money that supports day-to-day needs from funds for more flexible goals. An allocation shown in an article or example is a case study; do not copy it without assessing your own circumstances.
Diversify and check liquidity
Holding different asset types can reduce reliance on the outcome of a single investment, but it does not eliminate risk or guarantee a profit. Make sure money you may need to withdraw is sufficiently liquid, so you are less likely to sell an investment at an unsuitable time. Regular investing, or dollar-cost averaging (DCA), is a way to schedule purchases; it does not guarantee a lower cost or a gain.
