# Analysts urge baby boomers to shift toward ultra-safe assets

Why shift now?: Experts caution that high market valuations and historical crash patterns make heavy stock exposure risky for retirees nearing or in retirement. Income challenges: Falling bond yields and possible Social Security cuts could leave retirees short on income, forcing them to dip into principal. Safer alternatives: Analysts highlight short-term Treasury ETFs and high-yield savings accounts as low-risk, liquid options for capital preservation.
