Posts are not to be taken as advice… mostly because sometimes I’m wrong.
I’m case you need a reminder how we got here.

I made a cogent, correct statement and asked you to defend yours. Still nothing.

Yes, the inherit de-risk of a target date fund. Which most in 401ks default to. Even then, most have some sort of equity percentage, depending on if to or through retirement.

There’s no right or wrong and emotion def plays a factor. Especially after this election.

Capital preservation is a lower risk of loss, sure. But has upside risk. Traditionally a balanced portfolio, even one with less equity is less risky. This of course is all dependent on a belief in modern portfolio theory… which has its detractors.

Depending on which state you live in, your employer, even small businesses might have to offer a retirement plan. Take a look at the map and let us know if you have questions.
