Since the 1980’s, the traditional 60/40 asset mix has served investors very well. Both equities and fixed income provided high-risk adjusted returns during this period, while bonds provided the important element of diversification. However, the outlook for the traditional 60/40 asset mix appears less optimistic today than it has in the previous 40 years.

In the piece, they discuss that investors should consider an active approach to their asset allocation to help navigate shifting post-pandemic environment.
