Portfolio Allocation Guidance: The "Rule of 110" suggests that investors should subtract their age from 110 to determine the percentage of their portfolio to allocate in stocks, with the remainder in bonds; for a 42-year-old, this would mean 68% in stocks and 32% in fixed income.
Recommended Fixed-Income ETFs: Three notable ETFs for fixed-income investments include the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (low expense ratio, diversified), the Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund (higher yield, longer maturity), and the Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF (higher risk, but potential for higher returns).
