run the risk of outliving your assets. Thus, while investing in stocks means you
might lose money, not having a high enough allocation to stocks will likely
increase the risk of not achieving your financial goals -- including not outliving
your financial assets. Annuities are also a way to hedge against this risk, provided
they're properly structured for your situation.

Liquidityrisk. There are many investments that have higher expected returns
because they're less liquid, meaning they can't be traded or cashed in as easily as,
say, Treasury bonds. It can also mean that trading them means you'll incur greater
costs. This doesn't mean holding them is necessarily a bad thing, but you need to
prepare in case you have a sudden need to raise cash. Do you have access to other
assets in case of emergencies? If not, you may be forced to sell your illiquid assets
at steep costs. Investors should make sure their plan addresses the potential for
unexpected calls on liquidity -- keeping sufficient assets in very high quality, shortterm bonds.
