Overview: Twenty-five years of experience with high bond yields, combined with appreciation resulting from gradually declining interest rates, has produced an investor mind-set that bonds should occupy a major portion of a mixed-asset portfolio. However, that historical experience is not the norm. The long-term average bond return since 1926 is only 5.7%. The study reveals that the typical stock/bond with a little real estate portfolio should probably be balanced between substantial portions of stocks and real estate, with only a very small allocation to bonds in only very risk averse portfolios.
