Use the 3-Bucket Strategy: Split your funds into immediate (liquid), medium-term (debt), and long-term (equity) — to match your time horizon and risk tolerance. 2. Let Your Context Decide: Your pension, health cover, and needs should guide your asset mix. 3. Withdraw Conservatively and Flexibly: Start with 5–6%. Adjust with markets. Aim for 4% over time to protect capital. 4. Rebalance Smartly: Use hybrid/equity funds. Avoid frequent taxable moves. 5. Keep It Simple, Trust Yourself: Your awareness and discipline matter—align investments with near- and long-term needs. 6. Always Keep a Buffer: Have cash handy for emergencies or market dips. 🍁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 🍁 Welcome to Value Research, your go-to source for insightful investment guidance and financial planning.
