There are two ways to look at risk. There is the risk associated with market volatility and the risk of not having enough to fund your retirement. What I’ve heard is that money you don’t need for 10 years should be invested in the market such that you have enough time to weather a storm. If you invest everything in secure assets, you won’t be able to keep up with inflation.
