| Asset Allocation
Asset allocation is simply allocating
your assets to a variety of investments to protect against
volatility or market downturns. An example would be
to allocate money to large cap stocks, small cap stocks,
a growth mutual fund, and an international fund.
Different types of investments increase or decrease
in price at different times. Some investments are highly
volatile (experience large price swings during the year),
while others are much less volatile, (experience smaller
price swings during the year). Possessing a variety
of investments will help to protect you against market
downturns and volatile investments, (if you choose to
place volatile investments in your portfolio).
A variety of investments will help
to balance the value of your portfolio. As some investments
occasionally go down or remain constant, others may
go up. This up and down act will help to balance the
value of your overall portfolio. Understanding market
downturns and volatility will enable you to hold your
investments long-term.
