I am trying to get my head around the reason to hold bonds in my portfolio. I understand the reason is when my equities go down in theory the bonds I hold should rise. But so what? If my equities lose 50% then I can just continue to hold them and in the long run won’t they make more money?
I guess my question is out of the two portfolios below which would make more money over say 20 years?
Portfolio 1 - 100 percent equities 0 percent bonds
Portfolio 2 - 90 percent equities 10 percent bonds
