Two-Bucket Approach
WEALTH THAT LASTS
What it is
Check Capital’s Two-Bucket Investment Approach is a fundamental asset-allocation strategy that aims to make your money last through retirement. One bucket holds your short-term needs, keeping your money safe and accessible. The other bucket focuses on long-term growth, aiming to build your wealth over time. This strategy is designed to help you protect and grow your assets.
How it works
After consulting with one of our experienced advisors, you will determine how many years of spending money you would like to place in your “Bucket #1” account. We typically recommend 3-5 years in Bucket #2, the growth bucket, so that we reduce the chances of selling at a loss. At the end of each year, allocations to each bucket would be reviewed and adjustments potentially made. If stocks are at a new performance high, money is moved from Bucket #2 to Bucket #1, refilling Bucket #1 with spending/withdrawal money.
Money is moved from Bucket #2 to Bucket #1, refilling Bucket #1 with assets for spending or withdrawal.
