TRANSCRIPT:

Think U.S. Treasuries are the ultimate safe haven? Think again. Despite their reputation, recent events have shown that even these government-backed securities aren’t immune to risk. Let’s dive into why U.S. bonds have never been truly risk-free. Hi, I’m Hunter Brockway, founder of Voca Retirement Strategies, here to guide you to a successful, stress-free retirement while spending more and avoiding being killed in taxes. For decades, U.S. Treasuries have been labeled as risk-free assets. But what does risk-free really mean? In theory, it applies there’s no chance of default in guaranteed returns. However, history tells a different story. From the 1994 bond market crisis to the 2008 financial meltdown, we’ve seen that market dynamics can challenge the perceived safety of these assets. Fast forward to today, and we’re witnessing significant volatility in the Treasury market. Factors like rising inflation, increasing federal deficits, and geopolitical tensions are causing yields to fluctuate.

Such volatility indicates that investors are reassessing the risk associated with these securities. Internationally, confidence in U.S. Treasuries is wavering. Countries are diversifying their reserve and some are reducing their holdings of U.S. debt. This shift suggests that the global community is questioning the infallibility of U.S. bonds. So, what’s the takeaway? While U.S. Treasuries are still considered low risk, they’re not risk-free. Investors need to be aware of the underlying factors that can affect their stability. Understanding these elements is crucial for making informed investment decisions. In the world of investing, there’s no such thing as a truly risk-free asset. U.S. Treasuries, while stable, are subject to market forces like any other security, which begs the question, how do your investments align with your goals? I’m Hunter Brockway, founder of Boca Retirement Strategies.

Maybe it’s understanding how much they can actually spend without running out of money. Maybe it’s realizing that their tax bill in retirement might be higher than they expect. Or maybe it’s discovering they could be leaving six figures on the table with their Social Security strategy.The workbook includes reflection questions, real case studies, and specific action steps you can take. It’s designed to help you identify where you’re on track and where you might need to focus more attention.

There’s no cost, no obligation, and no pressure. Just practical information to help you make better decisions about the retirement you’ve worked so hard for.
