The AMH starts with the observation that there’s no guaranteed return on
equities or bonds. Their performance depends on particular market
conditions, and those conditions evolve over time. In other words, there are
periods when equities will do well, and there are periods when equities won’t
do well. So if your goal is to retire with a particular level of wealth, you need
to manage your asset allocation dynamically. When equity markets have a
higher expected return, you’ll want to tilt more toward equity markets; when
equity markets have a lower expected return, you’ll tilt more toward bonds.
