 Asset Allocation
Asset Allocation Idea / Need:

• The performance of the assets may vary from year to year and is not
easily predictable
• Mixture of assets becomes more like to meet the goals
• Fundamental idea: different asset classes offering non-correlated
returns (or inversely correlated) can be pooled together in a portfolio
for diversification …
• A good AA would reduces risks or variability of returns
• AA becomes ineffective if done within similar or correlated asset
classes

 Asset Allocation
How to decide on the Asset Allocation
Asset Allocation depends upon the return that the investor is looking at.

• I will suggest him an asset Allocation

Equity 50%
7.5%
Return @ 15 %

Debt 50%
2.5%
Return @ 5 %
10%
