there is a sharp fall in equity markets in the early years, one should increase one’ s equity exposure. This again would make you feel uncomfortable but the reality is that equity markets often have a remarkable predisposition to recover from sharp falls. Once markets have recovered, as they did in 2009 and 2010, you can then return your equity exposure to its previous level.
You’ ll have noticed that there are lots of uncomfortable feelings associated with the recommended approach, but this I’ m afraid may be the cost of a more comfortable retirement.
