Investing your retirement savings is a huge challenge – building enough wealth, protecting it once you’ve stopped working, and still managing to enjoy a decent standard of living. Most strategies for building wealth no longer work. But there is one research-backed plan that can help you manage your retirement savings to limit the risks.

Wealth manager and CIO Roger Montgomery joins the podcast to discuss:

  • How the bucket strategy was developed and how it works
  • Simple methods for limiting the downside when you’re no longer working
  • The importance of investing for the short, medium and long term in retirement, and
  • Tips and strategies for making the most of your accumulated wealth.
