Asset Allocation

Asset allocation is a method whereby an individual’s investment portfolio is spread across a range of different assets such as equities, cash and fixed interest options.  Investments can also be spread across other asset classes including property, currency, hedge funds, and private equities.

By diversifying an investment portfolio across these different options properly, asset allocation spreads the risks and so reduces volatility.

When looking into asset allocation, the investor should keep in mind that some of the options may appear ‘safer’ than their usual choice of investment.  This helps to balance the level of risk/return and in many cases, it is these options that may provide a better return when markets fluctuate.
