De-Risking When Approaching Retirement.

I was thinking about a de-risking strategy using asset-allocation ETFs when approaching retirement. I’m curious to hear what the group thinks.

Strategy is as follows:

More than 15 years out from retirement: buy VEQT.

12-14 years out from retirement: keep existing VEQT while contributing new money to VGRO.

10-12 years out from retirement: keep existing VEQT and VGRO allocations while contributing new money to VBAL.

5-9 years out keep existing VEQT, VGRO, and VBAL allocations while contributing new money to VCNS.

Under 5 years out from retirement: keep existing allocations while building a cash wedge using CASH.TO or another high-yield savings ETF.

Once retired, convert all asset allocation ETFs to VRIF while keeping the cash wedge.
