A Yale Professor’s Investment Formula Says You Need More Stocks

Hopefully this link is user friendly (WSJ article).
Yale University finance professor James Choi recently developed a formula that recommends an asset allocation based in part on your age, income, savings and risk tolerance. The formula is drawn from a paper he co-authored last year and was adapted for The Wall Street Journal.

In many scenarios, the formula recommends a more aggressive, stock-heavy portfolio than other popular guidelines.

It also incorporates more of people’s financial circumstances than common rules of thumb for equity allocation, such as the classic 60/40 division of stocks and bonds or subtracting your age from 100.
