The theory says higher risk = higher potential return.
Wisdom also tells: Diversify! stocks, as well as bonds.
In the U.S. often there were traditional standard allocations
70/30 or 60/40% allocations stocks/bonds.
The theory says: stocks are risky but for Your (longterm) capital appreciation
& bonds are for stability into the portfolio. This even worked during the Covid crisis.
There are however warning voices: particularly corporate bonds could be defaulting en masse in the future because of all the debt.
I never owned bonds. The bond CAGR is generally very low currently with reliable higher quality bond allocation, with (in the distant future) rising interest rates, there could then be tears.
more on what to avoid, good luck:
