3. Asset allocation is the strategic process of dividing your investments among
different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds and cash equivalents. Short-
term Treasuries and Certificates of Deposit are typical cash equivalents.
• Stocks, bonds and cash are the three basic building blocks of asset
allocation.
• A diversified long-term portfolio should include all three.

5. Gain exposure to rotating market leaders
If your assets are divided among many different
market sectors, you’ll benefit when one asset class does
well.
You’ll have a cushion against a downturn in any one
specific market sector.

6. Potentially increase your returns
Many investors turn to fixed income for a reasonable
level of return with less risk than stocks.
By adding a moderate allocation of stocks to the
portfolio.
If you are willing to allocate a little more to stocks, you
may be able to achieve an even greater return with
little additional risk
