Asset Allocation

Financial Planning Wiz

WHAT IS ASSET ALLOCATION?

Asset Allocation creates a reduced risk investment strategy with such assets as stocks, bonds, real estate, annuities, cash and more. Asset Allocation reduces your risks by dividing investments up so that if one asset goes down in value, another may be going up in value and hopefully multiple are going up in value. This way you reduce your downside risk. The success of Asset Allocation is based on

  • Length of time invested
  • The amount of diversification
  • Your risk tolerance
  • How aggressive or conservative your investments are
  • Willingness to change investments as your needs change
  • If and how much of a withdrawal rate you choose
