Stay Fully Invested
While tempting during moments of uncertainty, taking money out of the stock market hinders your long-term success. Market timing adds uncertainty, reduces efficiency, and increases taxes and costs. The safest and most reliable way of achieving your financial goals is to stay committed to a diversified portfolio.

Use Only Short-term Bonds
The risk exposure from long-term bonds is disproportionate to the small increase in return. We only use short-term bonds to build fixed income. They’re practical and offer less risk than mid-term or long-term bonds.

Include Small Cap Stocks

Include Value Stocks
