Why is Asset Allocation important?

The year 2020 is nearly coming to a close. As volatile as this year has been, markets are currently sitting at all-time highs and yet, giving little indication of where they are headed from here.

Consequently, the importance of asset allocation will now be more crucial than ever to prepare investors for all future market scenarios.

The problem

Investors today are faced with an unprecedented challenge:

How can one effectively manage a diverse set of investments and track asset allocation in real-time?

After all, each asset class is governed by its own set of rules and investors are expected to follow distinct guidelines for computing capital gain implications. Investors must also consistently rebalance their portfolios for adapting to frequent changes in market conditions.


What is asset allocation?

Simply put, asset allocation is an investment strategy that aims to balance risk by selecting an optimal mix of investments across different asset classes.

By understanding the tradeoff between risk & return for each investment, you can allocate your assets in a manner that helps you achieve returns while keeping your overall portfolio risk low.

At the heart of asset allocation is a portfolio diversification strategy. A well-diversified portfolio carefully selects securities that are not highly correlated in terms of performance and are characterized by different risk profiles.
