Abstract

A common piece of advice given to young investors is that they should invest a high percentage of their wealth in stocks when they are young and progressively switch to bonds as they age. Critics argue that this life-cycle (LC) approach is suboptimal compared with a strategy that is fully invested in a diversified market portfolio. Using simulations, we show that LC investing implemented on highly profitable and high dividend yield stocks (the profitable dividend yield strategy) provides a compelling solution to the suboptimality problem by leveraging on the strategy’s high average return and outstanding Sharpe ratio compared with a market portfolio.
