Investment Considerations: Bonds and Inflation

Show aired on November 6th, 2021

Mark Elam, Senior Investment Strategist at Ronald Blue Trust, joins Mike to discuss some important considerations to think about regarding your investments. They answer four listener questions:

  • Is it hard to create my own portfolio of stocks, ETFs, and Mutual Funds?
  • Is there a significant difference between owning a grouping of bond funds or owning a bond portfolio?
  • Considering recent legislation and the concern of rising inflation, should I be more conservative in my investments?
  • A couple currently in their mid-70s has their portfolio at 50% stocks and 50% in mutual funds. Is that reasonable?
