Elections can impact retirement plans if government policies in areas like taxes, Social Security and healthcare are changed.

With retirement only a few years away, your focus should be on stability, capital preservation, and controlled growth.

Target-date funds are specifically designed for people nearing retirement.

Government bonds, high-quality corporate bonds, and other fixed-income securities offer reliable returns.
