by | The Wealth Flow Podcast

Many investors believe that the biggest risk to their portfolio is volatility, but what if playing it “safe” is actually destroying their wealth? In this episode, Jonathan Blau breaks down the core principles of behavioral finance and explains why an investor’s temperament is far more important than their intellect. Listen now to learn how to reprogram your natural biases, stop betting on apocalyptic speculation, and build a bulletproof, index-driven strategy! 

 

Key Takeaways To Listen For

  • Why volatility is an illusory risk and the real external threat to wealth is actually inflation

  • How keeping just two to three years of living expenses in bonds protects against the sequence of return risk
