Diversifying your
funds among different types of investments is an important way
to minimize your investment risks. It can also play a large
role in the return you can expect. In fact, how you allocate
your investments among asset classes (stocks, bonds, mutual
funds, etc.) may be the most important factor, by a
significant margin, in determining portfolio performance.
That means making asset allocation choices should be one of your
first steps in the investment process.
The objective of any
asset allocation plan should be to find the asset mix that
provides the appropriate combination of expected return and expected
risk that will allow you to achieve your financial goals.
Choosing the optimal asset allocation for your investments can,
however, be extremely difficult.
The asset allocation
most appropriate for a single, 32-year-old investor who is earning
$75,000 a year might be quite different from that of a 55-year-old
with two children in college who is planning for retirement. But
whatever your situation, the right investments for you will
be those with potential rates of return that can help you meet
your financial goals with risk levels you find comfortable.
Two factors involved
in choosing your appropriate asset allocation are your time
frame and your risk tolerance. Also important is understanding
the current economic conditions and how they affect your investment
opportunities.
