Asset allocation starts with the portfolio mix
Different asset classes serve different purposes.
Investopedia distinguishes the division between equities, fixed income and cash from the selection of individual holdings. Time horizon and capacity to tolerate losses influence that mix. Its guide rejects a universal allocation formula: an age-based shortcut cannot capture every investor’s circumstances or future spending needs.
