  • The 60/40 portfolio lost 15.8% in 2022 as bonds fell 13%; bonds gained 8.3% in 2008, cushioning equity losses.
  • A portfolio combining dividend stocks, S&P 500 exposure, gold and cash lost 6.2% in 2022, substantially outperforming 60/40.
  • That mix returned 12.8% annually from April 2017 through October 2026, versus 9.5% for 60/40, before fees.
  • Its annual return lagged the S&P 500 by 1.8 percentage points; the test period excluded the 2008 crisis.
