8. asset allocatioN approaches - defiNitioNs
strategic Asset Allocation
A Strategic Asset Allocation approach creates a mix of equities, fixed income, and cash designed to capture
broad capital market returns while balancing risk and volatility. The goal of a Strategic Asset Allocation approach is
to put the positive winds of “sailing” markets to work in your portfolio.
tactical constrainedsm Asset Allocation
Tactical ConstrainedSM approaches attempt to capture broad market returns while also seeking to take advantage
of shorter term opportunities or mitigate risks through moderate allocation shifts. Tactical ConstrainedSM
approaches may also put the positive winds of “sailing” markets to work in your portfolio, but they also create
the potential for the portfolio strategist to add additional value through active, near term allocation decisions.
tactical unconstrainedsm Asset Allocation
Tactical UnconstrainedSM Asset Allocation approaches remove the limits on the extent and frequency of allocation
shifts, allowing the portfolio strategist to move more aggressively in response to changes in their outlook. Tactical
UnconstrainedSM Asset Allocation approaches can provide flexibility for “rowing” markets when headwinds place
a premium on active asset class management.
Absolute return Asset Allocation
Absolute return strategies are for risk-averse investors comfortable with modest returns in exchange for
highly active risk management that may include frequent allocation shifts, non-traditional asset classes and/or
alternative strategies. Absolute strategies may be used for attempting to “row” toward your goals regardless of
the stock market’s direction.
