Balancing  Risk  Return 
Asset  Allocation 

The majority of your portfolio’s long-term return – more than 80% – will come from its asset allocation. This proportional mix of different investment types (e.g., stock, bonds, cash, etc.) will also be the main driver of how much risk you’ll take in pursuit of a desired return.

Asset allocation is a long-term, or strategic, decision. It should remain in place for as long as the outcome it was created to address remains relevant to your retirement plan.

Your asset allocation should be aligned with specific investment objectives, personal goals, risk tolerance, age, and investment horizon, among other factors.
