I would appreciate your feedback. Many Thanks! I am comfortable with Fidelity Internet tools and am able to use their Retirement Planner and Suggested Portfolio Design. The Fidelity tool generated conservative portfolio is below . Situation: Age 69, recently retired with $400K in assets. I don't need to withdraw more than 4% annually, and don't need to leave anything behind. I am currently mostly liquid cash/moneymarket and have less than 15% in equities and 10% in intermediate bond fund. (I am customer of both Fidelity and Vanguard) Questions: 1)What do you think of Fidelity's tool generated suggested allocation mix? 2) Using M* I can substitute certain funds with a stronger one. Any suggestions? 3)What is best approach/timing to move my holdings into this mix? Where should I be careful? 4) Any other solutions for someone trying to organize their assets to live on in retirement?
