• Index ETF allocation by age โ€” why the '110 minus age' rule is outdated

    The original rule (put 110 minus your age percentage in stocks) was designed when life expectancy was 75 and bond yields were 5-6%. Current life expectancy: 83. Current 10-year yield: 3.8%. The formula needs updating. My version: 120 minus age for equity allocation, with international developed market exposure above 30%.
