In this week’s episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores the importance of diversification and why blindly following the S&P 500 may not be the best investment strategy. While many investors believe in a simple, passive approach, history has shown that overreliance on any single asset class can be risky - especially in unpredictable market cycles.
Key highlights of the episode include:
• Lessons learned from the Lost Decade (2000-2010) and how a stagnant S&P 500 impacted investors. • Why the four largest companies in the world in 1989 - based in Japan - led to a 30-year bear market. • The role of alternative investments such as private equity, private debt, and infrastructure in modern portfolios. • How PAX Financial Group approaches diversification to balance risk and opportunity in today’s market.
