2. Methodology: This asset allocation tool shows you a
suggested portfolio breakdown based on your selected risk profile. We use
historical returns and standard deviations of stocks, bonds and cash to
simulate what your returns may be over time. We use a Monte Carlo
simulation model to calculate the expected returns of 10,000 portfolios for
each risk profile. Then we use the results of that simulation to show you the
range of values that your initial portfolio value may grow to, as well as the
likelihood of reaching that range.
