Build An All Weather Portfolio With Low Cost Index Funds
What if you could build a portfolio that isn’t trying to predict the next twist in inflation, interest rates, or growth but is instead prepared for all of them? That’s the idea behind an all-weather portfolio. Ray Dalio popularised the concept, but UK investors face a different inflation profile, different bond markets, and ultimately need a different design. In this video, I’ll show you the principles behind all-weather investing, the low-cost UK funds you can use to build one, and an example portfolio that you can adapt. And at the end, I’ll show you what the long-term returns and drawdowns might realistically look like. Thank you to Lightyear for sponsoring this video.
