Your Vanguard Portfolio Should Look Different at 65 Than It Does at 25. Here’s the Full Roadmap.

Summary

Investors often adjust their portfolios based on market events rather than life stages, which can hinder long-term growth. In your 20s, prioritize growth by allocating 100% to equities, avoiding bonds to maximize compounding potential. Suggested allocations include 50% in VTI for broad U.S. exposure, 25% in VXUS for international diversification, and 25% in VUG for a growth tilt. Adjust your strategy as you age, shifting focus from growth to income and capital preservation
