Product allocation—buying instruments that can protect your portfolio from negative returns early in retirement—is generally considered a more effective means of protecting assets. Diversifying your retirement assets among a variety of vehicles—both insurance and investment oriented, depending on what is appropriate for your situation—may offer you the best chance of meeting your retirement income goals throughout your lifespan.
