The End of 60/40? A Smarter Retirement Strategy for Advisors
In this episode of Vaulted Views, I break down the difference between what I call the low view (reactive, trend-following advice), and the vaulted view, where advisors build systems that actually guide client behavior and scale their business.

Here’s the truth most advisors don’t want to admit:
The traditional 60/40 portfolio isn’t a retirement plan.
It’s a default setting.
And in today’s environment, it’s not enough.
In this episode of Vaulted Views, I break down the difference between what I call the low view, reactive, trend-following advice, and the vaulted view, where advisors build systems that actually guide client behavior and scale their business.
We're going deep into:
- Why static asset allocation models fall short in retirement
- The real risk advisors overlook (sequence of returns)
- How a rising equity glide path can improve long-term outcomes
- And how The Bucket Strategy® turns complex planning into something clients actually understand…and stick with
Because here’s the reality:
Clients don’t fail in retirement because of bad returns.
They fail because of bad decisions at the wrong time.
And your job isn’t just to manage portfolios.
It’s to design systems that prevent those mistakes.
If you want to differentiate, scale, and deliver more consistent outcomes for your clients…

I can’t but help that deep down I am and always will be a financial advisor. From time to time I plan on sharing financial strategies and concepts that I feel will be valuable to our subscribers.
I have learned a lot over the years about the financial services industry. Financial advisors are small business owners balancing two roles, first being a financial advisor to their clients and second being a responsible business owner for their family, staff and their community. I plan on sharing financial industry content and my experiences to this select group of subscribers here.
We all have vices. Mine are fine whiskeys, cigars and thoroughbred horseracing. So if you are in to that, I will share what I'm up to recently to relax and enjoy my time away from the hustle.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we’ll unlock the secrets to success in money, business, and life.
Warm regards,
