Equities offer potentially high returns, but returns depend on how long you invest and the ability to expose yourself to risks. In other words, younger people may choose more stocks for their portfolio because of their potential for returns over time. However, if you are planning to retire sooner rather than later, equity exposure becomes more of a risk and you may want to transition at least part of your investment away from the volatility of stocks as you get older.
