Synopsis

Build and manage a winning portfolio in bull and bear markets

Understanding Asset Allocation logically explains exactly what you need to know about how to allocate your assets. This comprehensive, highly accessible guide clearly explains the key principles of asset allocation, from selection to rebalancing to risk vs. return. You'll discover how the different asset classes behave, the leading misconceptions about allocation, and how risk profile, time horizon, and needs can impact your investments.

Apply allocation with separate asset classes or through mutual funds

Protect your investments from large swings in market value

Achieve both your pre-retirement and retirement financial goals
