GLOBAL ASSET ALLOCATION

With insightful asset allocation, we aim to reduce risk through diversification. The best and worst performing asset classes and markets vary from year to year and are difficult to predict.  Therefore, a carefully selected blend of investments across a range of asset classes and markets, over the long term, will reduce the volatility of a portfolio and increase the probability of positive returns.  

Academic studies have shown that over 90% of an investment portfolio’s variability of returns can be attributed to asset allocation decisions, while less than 5% is due to security selection.  (Brinson, Singer & Beebower, 1991).
