ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
All About Asset Allocation
Asset allocation involves dividing an investment portfolio among different asset categories, such as
stocks, bonds, alternative assets, and cash. The particular asset allocation that works best for an
investor at any given point will depend largely on the investor’s time horizon and risk tolerate.
By investing in a mix of different asset classes which tend to have investment returns that rise and
fall under different market conditions (that is, which are non-correlated to each other) within a
portfolio, an investor can protect against significant losses. In other words, market conditions that
cause one asset category to do well often cause another asset category to have average or poor
returns. By investing in more than one asset category, you’ll reduce the risk that you’ll lose money
and your portfolio’s overall investment returns will have a smoother ride.

ABOUT THIS SERIES: Personal
Finance & Investing Fundamentals 2.0
This webinar series is intended for the investor who has a beginning to intermediate level of
investing experience and knowledge. It assumes you know the difference between stocks and
bonds, and the difference between investing in publicly traded stock and investing in a mutual fund
that, in turn, invests in publicly traded stocks. It assumes further that there are good many things
you do not know but which you are quite capable of picking up quickly. The series begins with
fundamentals, such as the concepts of alpha and beta and how to approach reading financial
statements and financial journalism. The series then turns to look closely at certain alternative
investment objects of fascination: investment in VC/PE/HF (private equity, venture capital, and
hedge funds) and investment in "hard" assets like real estate.

ASSET ALLOCATION INTRO
• Asset allocation is the balance of risk and reward among assets within a portfolio
– Arguably more crucial than selecting individual securities
– Simply put, asset allocation is the balance between risk and time
• Based on three main traditional classes of assets: stocks, bonds, and cash (or cash
alternatives)
• Aims to create and balance a portfolio by setting target allocations for classes of
assets, and re-allocate assets periodically over the life of the investment

ASSET ALLOCATION INTRO (cont’d)
• Portfolio’s risk and reward balance is unique to an individual’s goals, and is likely
different from one investor to another
– For example, an individual saving for a new car will likely have a more
conservative balance than an individual saving for retirement years away
• Inherent concepts of asset allocation include an investor’s time horizon and risk
tolerance

– Diversification
• Common forms of asset allocation:
– Strategic
– Dynamic
– Tactical
– Core-satellite

TIME HORIZON
• The number of months or years an individual anticipates investing in order to
achieve a specific goal
• Determining a time horizon is important since most investments are directly
related to economic cycles
• No specific limits on time horizons, but for the sake of brevity, this focus will be
on long- and short-time horizons

LONG TIME HORIZON
• Generally, a young investor saving for retirement in 40 years, or an investor saving
for a long-term purchase15 years in the future may have a longer time horizon and
may feel more comfortable making a risker investment knowing they can wait out
the ebbs and flows of the markets
• In a long time horizon, an aggressive investment, such as stocks, usually offer
greater investment rewards, but also bring greater risk
– More time to recover from loss in this time horizon

SHORT TIME HORIZON
• Conversely, an investor saving for retirement in 5 years, or an investor saving for a
short-term purchase, such as a vehicle, may have a shorter time horizon and can ill-
afford to take on the risk of the markets during that time
• If a drop in the market occurs, portfolio might not recover by the time investor
needs the money
• To reduce the risk of loss, cash, cash alternatives, or short-term bonds might be a
better investment choices

RISK TOLERANCE
• Risk tolerance is the investor’s willingness to lose any portion of the investment for
greater potential returns
– Essentially, this is a risk-return tradeoff
• An aggressive investor has a high-risk tolerance, and will risk losing more money in
order to obtain a greater potential return
• A conservative investor has a low-risk tolerance, and will likely attempt to preserve
the original investment

RISK TOLERANCE (cont’d)
• Categories:
– Conservative – the lowest possible return in exchange for the lowest level of risk to
loss to the initial investment
– Moderately conservative – a relatively low return in exchange for a relatively low
level of risk to my initial investment
– Moderate – a moderate rate of return in exchange for a moderate level of risk to my
initial investment
– Moderately aggressive – a moderately high return in exchange for a moderately high
level of risk to my initial investment
– Aggressive– the highest possible return in exchange for the highest level of risk of
loss to the initial investment

RISK TOLERANCE (cont’d)
• An investor’s risk tolerance may change throughout the term of the investment, and
may go through various categories
• For example, while initially saving for retirement, a more aggressive approach might
be favorable, but as one nears retirement, the risk tolerance will shift to a more
conservative approach
– Once in retirement, the risk tolerance may change yet again to generate income
while growing the portfolio

RISK V. REWARD
• The overall goal of asset allocation is to minimize risk while maximizing return
• In order to capitalize on this, investors put a premium on understanding the risk-
return characteristics of the classes of assets
• Equities, such as stocks, have highest potential return, but also inherently carry
highest risk
• Treasury bills, backed by the U.S. government have the lowest risk, but also have
lowest potential return

– highest returns, but greatest risk among the three major investment choices
• Bonds
– offer more modest returns, but are less volatile than stocks

STOCKS
• Stocks, also referred to as equities, are traded on the market in differing levels of
risk and return
• Stock capitalization refers to the company’s total market value
– Small capitalization equities – highest risk level and highest return potential for
stocks
– Mid capitalization equities – moderate level of risk and return for stocks.
– Large capitalization (blue-chip) equities – generally, the lowest level of risk and
return for stocks

SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCK
• "Small cap stocks”- stock of publicly traded companies with a market capitalization
from $300 million to $2 billion
• Small cap stocks usually have a higher stock price, but a smaller amount of shares
• Typically, this is stock from smaller capitalized companies, making the investment
the riskiest, in the event of the company failing, but the highest potential for return,
if the company flourishes

MID CAPITALIZATION STOCK
• “Mid cap stocks” - stock of publicly traded companies with a market capitalization
from $2-$10 billion
• Mid cap stocks are attractive to investors because they provide a moderate level of
security (risk) for investment, and usually are expected to increase in profits and
market share
• Typically included in portfolios to provide a balance of growth potential and stability

LARGE CAPITALIZATION STOCK
• “Large cap stocks” (better known as “blue-chip stocks”) - stock of an established,
finically sound company (i.e. Apple or Google)
• Blue-chip stocks have survived many challenges and market cycles, usually making
blue-chip stocks a safe and stable investment, as far as stocks are concerned

BONDS
• A bond obligates an issuer to pay the bondholder a specific sum over the term of
the bond, and repay the principal amount at maturity
• Bonds are a staple in portfolios to balance the volatility of more risky
investments

BONDS (cont’d)
• Common types of bonds:
– U.S. Treasury bonds – often thought of as the safest investment and commonly
referred to as risk-free, backed by the U.S. government
– Municipal bonds – issued by a state, county, or city to finance its capital projects,
and carries with it a relatively low risk rate
– Corporate bonds – usually accompanied by a credit rating, the level of risk usually
corresponds with the credit rating
o Investment grade – the highest credit rating, making these bonds less risky.
o High yield – the lowest credit rating, and most risky. Also referred to as “junk
bonds”

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
• Cash equivalents are short-term investment securities that have a high credit rating, and
are highly liquid, low-risk, low return
• Examples include:
– U.S. government treasury bills – maturity date of once year or less, the longer the
maturity date, the higher the interest
– Money market funds – usually only offer single digit returns, and have fees
– Certificate of deposit (CD) – issued by commercial banks and provides a specific
interest rate in exchange for a principal investment, in which the holder is restricted
from withdrawing funds until the maturity date

DIVERSIFICATION INTRODUCTION
• Diversification is an investment strategy that mixes various investment types within
an asset class of a portfolio
• Utilized to reduce unsystematic risk
– Unsystematic risk is specific to a company or industry, such as regulatory
changes
– Conversely, systematic risk is risk that cannot be planned for or avoided

DIVERSIFICATION INTRODUCTION
(cont’d)
• Many investors use mutual funds to diversify, rather than investing themselves
– A mutual fund is a company that pools money from investors and invests that
money in securities
– An investor buys shares in mutual funds and each share gives the investor
part ownership in the fund and its income
o Mutual funds have fund managers that do all the research for the investor

DIVERSIFICATION V. ASSET
ALLOCATION
• Asset allocation and diversification go hand-in-hand, but are, in fact, different
concepts
• Asset allocation refers to investing as a whole in different asset classes, while
diversification is the process of balancing those specific classes to protect against
market conditions
• An investor may have excellent asset allocation but poor diversification

DIVERSIFICATION V. ASSET
ALLOCATION (cont’d)
• Asset allocation is the overarching types of assets in a portfolio and
diversification involves the number of each of those assets within each category
• Diversification provides another layer of investment protection to asset
allocation by allowing the investor to invest in asset class subcategories, such as
which industry sector, which company stock, or what type of bonds to invest

STOCK CORRELATION
• What is stock correlation?
– measures the degree to which two securities move in relation to each other
o may be used to determine unique risk within an asset class
o measuring the correlation among two asset classes is typically done by taking the
long-term monthly returns of one asset class and comparing them to another
– used in advanced portfolio management,
o correlation coefficient (value that must fall between -1.0 and +1.0)
– risk reduction benefits of diversification rely on correlation
• Can measure movement of stock with that of a benchmark index (i.e. Beta)
• Correlation is NOT causation

STOCK CORRELATION (cont’d)
• A “perfect positive correlation” means correlation coefficient is exactly 1
– Implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security moves in
lockstep, in the same direction
• A “perfect negative correlation”
– Implies two assets move in opposite directions
• A “zero correlation”
– Implies no relationship at all
• For example –
– Large-cap mutual funds generally have a high positive correlation to (S&P) 500
Index - very close to 1
– Small-cap stocks have a positive correlation to that same index, but it is not as high -
generally around 0.8

STOCK CORRELATION (cont’d)
• Note, however, put option prices and their underlying stock prices will tend to have
a negative correlation
– Put option - option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to
sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a
specified time frame
– Implies that as stock price increases, the put option prices go downdirect and
high-magnitude negative correlation

DIVERSIFICATION OF A STOCK PORTFOLIO
• 3 methods for 3 types of investors
• Passive method – buying market indexes or mutual funds
– Investor has very little time to devote to understanding stocks and want to automate
investment strategy while minimizing risk
– Recommend – dollar-cost average into a single low-cost index fund or several
different low-cost index funds
o dollar-cost average = investing the same amount each month -- no matter what
the market does
✓enables investors to avoid market timing; and
✓reduce the risk of sinking an outsize sum of money into stocks before a market
downturn

fund investing
– Investor has a basic understanding of stocks and is willing to do limited research to
identify good companies to invest in
– Investor picks stocks versus buying index funds
o Can choose stock and diversify
✓Limited use of diversification
o Investing similar amounts of money into each stock in a portfolio, spreads risk
across each of the companies in a portfolio

DIVERSIFICATION OF AN
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
• Asset allocation - involves dividing an investment portfolio among different asset
categories
– i.e. stocks, bonds, and cash
• Determining which mix of assets to hold in your portfolio is personal – depends on the
following:
– Time Horizon – expected number of months, years, or decades you will be investing
to achieve particular financial goal
– Risk tolerance – ability and willingness to lose some or all of your original
investment in exchange for greater potential returns

DIVERSIFICATION OF AN
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (cont’d)
• Diversification – “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”
– practice of spreading money among different investments to reduce risk
• Diversified portfolio should be diversified at 2 levels:
– between asset categories; and
– within asset categories
• Spread out your investments within each asset category
– key is to identify investments in segments of each asset category that may perform
differently under different market conditions
o i.e. identify and invest in a wide range of companies and industry sectors

DIVERSIFICATION OF AN
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (cont’d)
• Because achieving diversification can be so challenging, some investors may find it
easier to diversify within each asset category through the ownership of mutual funds
rather than through individual investments from each asset category
– A mutual fund – a company that pools money from many investors and invests the
money in stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments
o make it easy for investors to own a small portion of many investments
– i.e. total stock market index fund
– Note, however, a mutual fund investment doesn’t necessarily provide instant
diversification, especially if the fund focuses on only one particular industry sector

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (cont’d)
• “Lifecycle Fund” – diversified mutual fund that automatically shifts towards a more
conservative mix of investments as it approaches a particular year in the future, known
as its “target date”
– i.e. retirement fund
• Investor picks a fund with the right target date based on his or her particular investment
goal
• Managers of the fund then make all decisions about asset allocation, diversification, and
rebalancing

DIVERSIFICATION OF AN
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (cont’d)
• Rebalancing - bringing your portfolio back to your original asset allocation mix
• 3 ways to rebalance your portfolio:
– sell off investments from over-weighted asset categories and use the proceeds to
purchase investments for under-weighted asset categories
– purchase new investments for under-weighted asset categories
– alter continuous contributions so that more investments go to under-weighted asset
categories until portfolio is back into balance
• Note: consider whether the method of rebalancing you decide to use will trigger
transaction fees or tax consequences

REBALANCING
• Rebalancing is the process of realigning the weight of percentages of a portfolio
of assets over time
• This process involves the buying or selling of particular assets to achieve a
desired level of asset allocation
• Rebalancing commonly occurs annually, and may become more important as the
investor nears the target date of the investment

REBALANCING (cont’d)
• Over the term of the investment, some investments may stray from alignment
with your goals
• Some investments will grow faster than others, and some may perform poorly
• This ensures that your portfolio does not overemphasize or underemphasize an
asset category
• If an investor realizes a large percentage of assets held within a specific stock
based on strong market performance, the investor may rebalance the allocation
to another investment to protect against future market cycles

TARGET-DATE FUND
• A target-date fund is a fund that grows assets over a specific period of time
• These funds are a type of mutual fund, but as the name suggests, are structured
based on the investor’s capital need at a specific target date in the future
– Typically, this is a longer time horizon
• Target-date funds are common for retirement planning or a child entering college

TARGET-DATE FUND (cont’d)
• A target-date fund’s portfolio manager uses asset allocation to fulfill the
investor’s predetermined time horizon
• The fund manager will use the target date to apply the correct degree of risk for
the fund, and invest in other funds that match the given degree of risk
• The fund’s asset allocation becomes more conservative as the target date
approaches
• As a result, the fund risk levels and asset allocations are usually readjusted
annually

PROBLEMS WITH ASSET ALLOCATION
• Investor behavior is inherently biased
– Investor chooses asset allocation, but implementation may be a challenge
• Investor’s risk tolerance is not knowable ahead of time
– Risk tolerance is fluid based on the investor’s feeling and is subject to fear and greed
of economic fluctuation
• Security selection within asset classes does not necessarily produce a risk profile equal
to the asset class

Arthur Doglione – arthur@alphafiduciary.com
Arthur is an industry veteran with more than 20 years’ experience working with high-net-worth clients. He has an
extensive background in wealth management with particular expertise in portfolio management. Before
establishing Alpha Fiduciary, Art was a Senior Vice President with Merrill Lynch where, prior to leaving in
November 2006, had built his practice to be the largest of Merrill Lynch’s Arizona territory. Art founded Alpha
Fiduciary in 2006, and has completed two acquisitions. The firm currently serves clients across many states as a
fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). As president, Art has assembled a team of experienced,
credentialed professionals at Alpha Fiduciary to execute on its mission of helping clients achieve their optimum
financial life. The firm’s approach combines prudent financial planning with an investment style focused
primarily on low-cost “passive” investment solutions. The Investment Committee also seeks to enhance returns or
diversification of its passive portfolio by adding a smaller number of carefully selected actively managed funds.
Alpha Fiduciary has a fiduciary responsibility to its clients, and this means you can be sure we only serve one
master: our clients. In addition, Art has taught a six-week wealth management course at UCLA Extension several
times. This coursework was designed to educate investors by providing a framework whereby business principles
are applied to the investment process, which in turn provides a greater understanding of the key areas of risk and
performance that can shape investment returns. This education is founded in Art’s fiduciary focus and desire to
improve the quality of the individual investors investment decisions.

  • 5. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ABOUT THIS WEBINAR: All About Asset Allocation Asset allocation involves dividing an investment portfolio among different asset categories, such as stocks, bonds, alternative assets, and cash. The particular asset allocation that works best for an investor at any given point will depend largely on the investor’s time horizon and risk tolerate. By investing in a mix of different asset classes which tend to have investment returns that rise and fall under different market conditions (that is, which are non-correlated to each other) within a portfolio, an investor can protect against significant losses. In other words, market conditions that cause one asset category to do well often cause another asset category to have average or poor returns. By investing in more than one asset category, you’ll reduce the risk that you’ll lose money and your portfolio’s overall investment returns will have a smoother ride. 5

Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ABOUT THIS SERIES: Personal Finance & Investing Fundamentals 2.0 This webinar series is intended for the investor who has a beginning to intermediate level of investing experience and knowledge. It assumes you know the difference between stocks and bonds, and the difference between investing in publicly traded stock and investing in a mutual fund that, in turn, invests in publicly traded stocks. It assumes further that there are good many things you do not know but which you are quite capable of picking up quickly. The series begins with fundamentals, such as the concepts of alpha and beta and how to approach reading financial statements and financial journalism. The series then turns to look closely at certain alternative investment objects of fascination: investment in VC/PE/HF (private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds) and investment in "hard" assets like real estate. 6

  • 9. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ASSET ALLOCATION INTRO • Asset allocation is the balance of risk and reward among assets within a portfolio – Arguably more crucial than selecting individual securities – Simply put, asset allocation is the balance between risk and time • Based on three main traditional classes of assets: stocks, bonds, and cash (or cash alternatives) • Aims to create and balance a portfolio by setting target allocations for classes of assets, and re-allocate assets periodically over the life of the investment 9
  • 10. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ASSET ALLOCATION INTRO (cont’d) • Portfolio’s risk and reward balance is unique to an individual’s goals, and is likely different from one investor to another – For example, an individual saving for a new car will likely have a more conservative balance than an individual saving for retirement years away • Inherent concepts of asset allocation include an investor’s time horizon and risk tolerance 1 0
  • 11. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ASSET CLASSES • Asset class – a group of economic resources sharing similar characteristic (i.e. riskiness and return) – Traditional assets(most common) o Stocks (equities) o Bonds (fixed-incomed investments) o Cash or cash alternatives – Alternative assets o Real estate o Commodities o Derivatives (i.e. collateralized debt) o Private equity 1 1
  • 12. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ASSET CLASSES (cont’d) • Stocks –value, dividend, growth, or sector-specific – Large-cap v. mid-cap – Small-cap v. micro-cap – Domestic v. foreign – International developed v. emerging v. frontier markets • Bonds – fixed income securities generally – Investment-grade or junk (high-yield) – Government or corporate – Short-term v. long-term • Cash and cash equivalents – Deposit account – Money market fund 1 2
  • 13. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES • Asset allocation strategies vary based on – – Investment goals – Income requirements – risk tolerance – Time horizon – Diversification • Common forms of asset allocation: – Strategic – Dynamic – Tactical – Core-satellite 1 3
  • 14. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe TIME HORIZON • The number of months or years an individual anticipates investing in order to achieve a specific goal • Determining a time horizon is important since most investments are directly related to economic cycles • No specific limits on time horizons, but for the sake of brevity, this focus will be on long- and short-time horizons 1 4
  • 15. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe LONG TIME HORIZON • Generally, a young investor saving for retirement in 40 years, or an investor saving for a long-term purchase15 years in the future may have a longer time horizon and may feel more comfortable making a risker investment knowing they can wait out the ebbs and flows of the markets • In a long time horizon, an aggressive investment, such as stocks, usually offer greater investment rewards, but also bring greater risk – More time to recover from loss in this time horizon 1 5
  • 16. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe SHORT TIME HORIZON • Conversely, an investor saving for retirement in 5 years, or an investor saving for a short-term purchase, such as a vehicle, may have a shorter time horizon and can ill- afford to take on the risk of the markets during that time • If a drop in the market occurs, portfolio might not recover by the time investor needs the money • To reduce the risk of loss, cash, cash alternatives, or short-term bonds might be a better investment choices 1 6
  • 17. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe RISK TOLERANCE • Risk tolerance is the investor’s willingness to lose any portion of the investment for greater potential returns – Essentially, this is a risk-return tradeoff • An aggressive investor has a high-risk tolerance, and will risk losing more money in order to obtain a greater potential return • A conservative investor has a low-risk tolerance, and will likely attempt to preserve the original investment 1 7
  • 18. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe RISK TOLERANCE (cont’d) • Categories: – Conservative – the lowest possible return in exchange for the lowest level of risk to loss to the initial investment – Moderately conservative – a relatively low return in exchange for a relatively low level of risk to my initial investment – Moderate – a moderate rate of return in exchange for a moderate level of risk to my initial investment – Moderately aggressive – a moderately high return in exchange for a moderately high level of risk to my initial investment – Aggressive– the highest possible return in exchange for the highest level of risk of loss to the initial investment 1 8
  • 19. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe RISK TOLERANCE (cont’d) • An investor’s risk tolerance may change throughout the term of the investment, and may go through various categories • For example, while initially saving for retirement, a more aggressive approach might be favorable, but as one nears retirement, the risk tolerance will shift to a more conservative approach – Once in retirement, the risk tolerance may change yet again to generate income while growing the portfolio 1 9
  • 20. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe RISK V. REWARD • The overall goal of asset allocation is to minimize risk while maximizing return • In order to capitalize on this, investors put a premium on understanding the risk- return characteristics of the classes of assets • Equities, such as stocks, have highest potential return, but also inherently carry highest risk • Treasury bills, backed by the U.S. government have the lowest risk, but also have lowest potential return 2 0
  • 21. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe INVESTMENT ASSET CLASSES • Stocks – highest returns, but greatest risk among the three major investment choices • Bonds – offer more modest returns, but are less volatile than stocks • Cash and cash alternatives – safest investment choice, but offers lowest potential return 2 1
  • 22. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe STOCKS • Stocks, also referred to as equities, are traded on the market in differing levels of risk and return • Stock capitalization refers to the company’s total market value – Small capitalization equities – highest risk level and highest return potential for stocks – Mid capitalization equities – moderate level of risk and return for stocks. – Large capitalization (blue-chip) equities – generally, the lowest level of risk and return for stocks 2 2
  • 23. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCK • "Small cap stocks”- stock of publicly traded companies with a market capitalization from $300 million to $2 billion • Small cap stocks usually have a higher stock price, but a smaller amount of shares • Typically, this is stock from smaller capitalized companies, making the investment the riskiest, in the event of the company failing, but the highest potential for return, if the company flourishes 2 3
  • 24. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe MID CAPITALIZATION STOCK • “Mid cap stocks” - stock of publicly traded companies with a market capitalization from $2-$10 billion • Mid cap stocks are attractive to investors because they provide a moderate level of security (risk) for investment, and usually are expected to increase in profits and market share • Typically included in portfolios to provide a balance of growth potential and stability 2 4
  • 25. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe LARGE CAPITALIZATION STOCK • “Large cap stocks” (better known as “blue-chip stocks”) - stock of an established, finically sound company (i.e. Apple or Google) • Blue-chip stocks have survived many challenges and market cycles, usually making blue-chip stocks a safe and stable investment, as far as stocks are concerned 2 5
  • 26. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe BONDS • A bond obligates an issuer to pay the bondholder a specific sum over the term of the bond, and repay the principal amount at maturity • Bonds are a staple in portfolios to balance the volatility of more risky investments 2 6
  • 27. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe BONDS (cont’d) • Common types of bonds: – U.S. Treasury bonds – often thought of as the safest investment and commonly referred to as risk-free, backed by the U.S. government – Municipal bonds – issued by a state, county, or city to finance its capital projects, and carries with it a relatively low risk rate – Corporate bonds – usually accompanied by a credit rating, the level of risk usually corresponds with the credit rating o Investment grade – the highest credit rating, making these bonds less risky. o High yield – the lowest credit rating, and most risky. Also referred to as “junk bonds” 2 7
  • 28. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS • Cash equivalents are short-term investment securities that have a high credit rating, and are highly liquid, low-risk, low return • Examples include: – U.S. government treasury bills – maturity date of once year or less, the longer the maturity date, the higher the interest – Money market funds – usually only offer single digit returns, and have fees – Certificate of deposit (CD) – issued by commercial banks and provides a specific interest rate in exchange for a principal investment, in which the holder is restricted from withdrawing funds until the maturity date 2 8
  • 29. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION INTRODUCTION • Diversification is an investment strategy that mixes various investment types within an asset class of a portfolio • Utilized to reduce unsystematic risk – Unsystematic risk is specific to a company or industry, such as regulatory changes – Conversely, systematic risk is risk that cannot be planned for or avoided 2 9
  • 30. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION INTRODUCTION (cont’d) • Many investors use mutual funds to diversify, rather than investing themselves – A mutual fund is a company that pools money from investors and invests that money in securities – An investor buys shares in mutual funds and each share gives the investor part ownership in the fund and its income o Mutual funds have fund managers that do all the research for the investor 3 0
  • 31. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION INTRODUCTION (cont’d) • 3 common types of diversification: – Passive – buy and hold approach, relying on the long-term success of the overall market. – Balanced– middle ground – Active– research for strategic buying and selling of stocks in attempts to outperform the market. 3 1
  • 32. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION V. ASSET ALLOCATION • Asset allocation and diversification go hand-in-hand, but are, in fact, different concepts • Asset allocation refers to investing as a whole in different asset classes, while diversification is the process of balancing those specific classes to protect against market conditions • An investor may have excellent asset allocation but poor diversification 3 2
  • 33. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION V. ASSET ALLOCATION (cont’d) • Asset allocation is the overarching types of assets in a portfolio and diversification involves the number of each of those assets within each category • Diversification provides another layer of investment protection to asset allocation by allowing the investor to invest in asset class subcategories, such as which industry sector, which company stock, or what type of bonds to invest 3 3
  • 34. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe STOCK CORRELATION • What is stock correlation? – measures the degree to which two securities move in relation to each other o may be used to determine unique risk within an asset class o measuring the correlation among two asset classes is typically done by taking the long-term monthly returns of one asset class and comparing them to another – used in advanced portfolio management, o correlation coefficient (value that must fall between -1.0 and +1.0) – risk reduction benefits of diversification rely on correlation • Can measure movement of stock with that of a benchmark index (i.e. Beta) • Correlation is NOT causation 3 4
  • 35. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe STOCK CORRELATION (cont’d) • A “perfect positive correlation” means correlation coefficient is exactly 1 – Implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security moves in lockstep, in the same direction • A “perfect negative correlation” – Implies two assets move in opposite directions • A “zero correlation” – Implies no relationship at all • For example – – Large-cap mutual funds generally have a high positive correlation to (S&P) 500 Index - very close to 1 – Small-cap stocks have a positive correlation to that same index, but it is not as high - generally around 0.8 3 5
  • 36. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe STOCK CORRELATION (cont’d) • Note, however, put option prices and their underlying stock prices will tend to have a negative correlation – Put option - option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a specified time frame – Implies that as stock price increases, the put option prices go downdirect and high-magnitude negative correlation 3 6
  • 37. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe DIVERSIFICATION OF A STOCK PORTFOLIO • 3 methods for 3 types of investors • Passive method – buying market indexes or mutual funds – Investor has very little time to devote to understanding stocks and want to automate investment strategy while minimizing risk – Recommend – dollar-cost average into a single low-cost index fund or several different low-cost index funds o dollar-cost average = investing the same amount each month -- no matter what the market does ✓enables investors to avoid market timing; and ✓reduce the risk of sinking an outsize sum of money into stocks before a market downturn 3 7
  • 38.
