Market swings can feel unsettling—but what if volatility isn’t the enemy retirees think it is? In this episode of the Retirement Summit Podcast, Shawn O’Keefe breaks down what today’s market volatility really means for those nearing or living in retirement. He explains the difference between risk and volatility, why emotional reactions often lead investors astray, and how portfolio structure matters even more once you’re in the distribution phase. The conversation also explores why cash and traditional bonds may fall short, how inflation and dollar dilution affect long-term buying power, and the importance of balancing offense and defense in a retirement income strategy.
