Asset allocation  >  Overview

Asset allocation pays off!
Contrary to popular belief, market timing and security selection are not the main factors in portfolio risk management, i.e., the risk an investor is willing to assume to earn a potential return.

Asset allocation is the main source of portfolio performance since the right asset mix will produce the maximum possible return for a given level of risk.

To find out more about how your investor profile is determined and about various ways to diversify your portfolio, check out our comprehensive section on investor profiles and asset allocation.


Make rational decisions!
Investment decision making should be a rational process and should be based on an analysis of your personal situation. Use the Personalized Investment Plan to identify your investor profile and the asset mix that best suits your needs.
