Asset Allocation Basics
Asset allocation is often the primary driver of long-term portfolio outcomes. Learn how to map objectives to exposure decisions.
Allocation as policy
A written allocation policy translates goals into target exposures across equities, fixed income, alternatives, cash, and other sleeves.
Risk budgeting
Not all allocations contribute equal risk. Understanding contribution to volatility and drawdown helps avoid unintended concentrations.
Liquidity budgeting
Illiquid private market commitments should be sized against cash needs, capital call schedules, and public market liquidity buffers.
Review cadence
Allocation should be reviewed as goals, markets, and constraints change—without reacting impulsively to every short-term move.
