They're great holdings for after you stop adding to your nest egg, but they also help grow that nest egg
Some might ask, why are you investing so prudently now? Most
investors say they want to build the biggest nest egg they can to fund the best
possible retirement when that time comes. Once that day arrives, then they’ll
change their portfolio to focus less on growth and more on income.
The irony is, the stable stocks best suited to reliably fund
a retirements are largely the same stocks you should arguably already own
leading up to your retirement; consistency is crucial as you chip away at your
financial goals.
To that end, here’s a run-down of retirement stocks you
should probably already own even before you make working at a job a thing of
the past. Separately or collectively, they provide a nice balance of growth and
income, as well as a comfortable balance of risk and reward.
In most cases dividend — and dividend growth — is in the
cards, yet not necessarily at the expense of capital appreciation as well.
You’ll need that too, as inflation can and often does outpace marketwide
dividend yields.
