Welcome to Retired Investor

"Will we outlive our savings?" "Will we have enough money to cover long term care or other unexpected expenses?" "Will we be able to leave something to others?" These days, many people spend a lot of time worrying about these critical questions. We started this journal to help you answer them. We help you become smarter about investing, so you can make better decisions. While other sites give you data and news, we help you understand what they mean. We give you the analysis and knowledge you need to avoid common mistakes, and achieve your post-retirement investing goals.

We publish Retired Investor each month. You can either read it on your computer screen or download it as a pdf file to print out. We alert you by email when a new issue is up on the site. Each monthly issue contains the following:

1. A summary of year to date returns on different asset classes (bonds, equities, commercial property, and commodities) from the perspective of eight different currencies (including Australian, Canadian, and U.S. Dollars, Euro, Yen, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs and Indian Rupees);
2. Asset class valuation updates for each of these eight regions;
3. Letters to the editor;
4. Two feature articles on important investing issues;
5. Year-to-date performance for our model portfolios; and
6. Lists of index funds, ETFs, and other investments that can be used to implement our model portfolios' asset allocations.

We have also collected our past articles on different subjects on our website, to facilitate self-study by our subscribers.

Over 5,000 model portfolios solutions are available to subscribers whose functional currencies include Australian, Canadian, and U.S. Dollars, Euro, Yen Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs and Indian Rupees. These are intended to maximize the probability of achieving different target income (withdrawal) and savings/bequest goals, over different expected lifetimes. Our model portfolios solutions include different combinations of up to eleven asset classes: real return bonds, domestic bonds, foreign currency bonds, domestic commercial property, foreign commercial property, commodities, timber, domestic equity, foreign developed market equity, emerging markets equity, and equity market neutral (uncorrelated alpha). Here is a Sample Portfolio Solution.

Also,please see the green buttons on the left side of this page for a more complete description of our model portfolios and methodology, as well as the overall post-retirement investment process , and how Retired Investor can help you think it through logically and manage it wisely.

At only US $29.50 for six monthly issues (less than $5 per month), $59 for one year, or $99 for two years, Retired Investor is a great value. It costs much less than what you probably paid last year in commissions, sales loads and fund management fees, and it is well below the average price of $225 per year for the 165 investment newsletters tracked by Hulbert Financial Digest. When we talk about providing you with the most value for your time and money, we're not kidding. In short, there's no better place to get a thoughtful, impartial second opinion to help you invest more wisely after you have retired.
