My investment guy expects a correction of between 20% to 30% happening during the Trump years (next 3). I'm sitting about the same as you, 65/25/10. Equities are spread thru 30 different companies.

I work for a financial services firm, not an investment firm..

That's about the correction I'm expecting, more or less.

If we're going by historic valuations, it's been overvalued for some time. The past year has only made it more so.



@Aegon a crash as you graduation actually represents a good buying opportunity, and a good time to start retirement savings. Buy low, baby. You've got a long ways to go. I've been through more than one major correction. I'd rather not have one happen this close to retirement.



@Brian37 equities are things such as stocks that represent equity ownership of a publicly-traded company, as opposed to debt instrumenta like bonds that are more akin to loans to such an entity (or to a government). There's also various derivatives that are more complicated.

An annuity could theoretically invest in either but they basically are an investment you can purchase that provides a future income stream.

I have pondered putting more into international index funds. Domestic index funds have had a historic year, but I fear that won't last, and the international market may be more stable.

I think currently I have ~65% in domestic index funds, ~27% in international, and the rest in bonds.

However I'm right at the start of my retirement savings, so a correction isn't as big a loss as it would be later on, but that's why I intend to shift more to bonds in the long run.
