From Investor Profile to Asset Allocation Model

Who are you as an investor will determine where are you when it comes to asset allocation models. In order to maximize the return on your portfolio and minimize the risk you should use asset allocation to protect your financial position especially when things are not perfect, as will happen from time to time, in one asset category, sector or a region.

Well structured and diversified portfolio among three broad asset categories, stocks, bonds and cash, is based on your income and growth needs and your risk tolerance. It means not having all your eggs in one basket and not loosing your sleep, nor hair, over your money while earning better returns.

The following are basic investor profiles and corresponding asset allocation models which are usually determined, before you start investing, with your investment advisor/broker while going through one of many available asset allocation questionnaires.
