Asset Allocation

The strategy of dividing investments among different asset categories like stocks, bonds, and cash.

In Detail

Asset allocation is based on the principle that different assets perform differently in various market conditions. By diversifying across asset classes, investors can potentially reduce risk while maintaining expected returns.
