Asset Allocation
2 - 1
What Is Asset Allocation?
 A basic decision that every investor must make is how to distribute his or her
investable funds amongst the various asset classes available in the marketplace:
 Stocks (e.g., Large Cap, Small Cap)
 Fixed-Income (e.g., Government, Investment, High Yield)
 Cash Equivalents (e.g., T-bills)
 Alternative Assets (e.g., Private Equity, Hedge Funds)
 Real Estate (e.g., Residential, Commercial)
 The Strategic allocation is the proportion of wealth the investor decides to place in
each of these asset classes. It is sometimes also referred to as the investor’s long-
term normal allocation because it is presumed to be the “baseline” allocation that
will remain in place until the investor’s life circumstances change appreciably.
2 - 2
Factors To Consider
Investment objective (e.g., retirement)
Time horizon for a goal (e.g., life expectancy for
retirement)
Amount of money you have to invest
Your risk tolerance and experience
Your age and net worth

Integrated Asset Allocation Model
2 - 5
Strategic asset allocation
Used to develop a long-term policy allocation
Example: Portfolio will always rebalance to revert to a :
• 60% Stock
• 30% Bond
• 10% Cash allocation
2 - 6
Tactical asset allocation
Used to develop short-term strategies to exploit changes in market
conditions
Often viewed as a contrarian strategy
Assume asset class performance is mean-reverting
 if stocks have performed above average relative to bonds,
underweight stocks and overweight bonds for next period
Assume stocks will generate above average returns
 overweight stocks!
Practical issues:
Frequency of rebalancing
Constraints on “swing component”
2 - 7
Insured asset allocation
Used to develop short-term strategies to exploit changes in investor’s
objectives and constraints
This is a portfolio insurance strategy
Assumes investors become more risk-tolerant as wealth
rises
 if stocks have performed above average relative to bonds, overweight
stocks for next period
Assumes investors become less risk-tolerant as wealth falls
 If stocks have performed poorly, underweight in next period
Practical issues:
Frequency of rebalancing
Liquidity
2 - 8
