I am retired and all my savings are in mutual funds. I cannot afford to lose any money as happened a few years ago. Where should I put my retirement savings for a decent return with low risk?

The kids ages range from two threw ten.

I have some very conservative investments, mostly mutual funds. What will happen to them in a deep recession?

“Kh a a a a a n n” ! ! asked:


I have some mutual funds which are made up of very conservative investments - nothing too risky. Over the past few decades this fund has done nothing but grow slowly. Sometimes it goes down a bit, sometimes it spikes a bit, but overall it shows a pattern of growth, which is great.

What will happen to these investments if we go into a bad recession?

Will they decrease in value a lot?

Should I try and head this off by changing my portfolio? Or just ride it out?

Thanks!
