Asset Allocation

Asset Allocation

Asset allocation seeks to balance an investment’s risk and reward by assigning its assets in accordance to an individual's goals, investment horizon, and risk tolerance. The three main asset classes — cash and cash equivalents, equities, and fixed-income — have their own distinct behavior over time given that they have different levels of risk and return.
