The asset-allocation decision is one of the most important factors in determining both the return and the risk of an investment portfolio.
Asset allocation is the process of developing a diversified investment portfolio by combining different assets in varying proportions.
An asset is anything that produces income or can be purchased and sold, such as stocks, bonds, or certificates of deposit (CDs).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

14. Important Disclosures
Asset Allocation: Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns.
Fixed Income Securities: Investing in fixed income securities involves certain risks such as market risk if sold prior to maturity and credit risk especially if investing in high
yield bonds, which have lower ratings and are subject to greater volatility. All fixed income investments are subject to availability and change in price and may be worth less
than original cost upon redemption or maturity. In addition to market risk, there are certain other risks associated with an investment in fixed income funds, such as default
risk, the risk that the company issuing debt securities will be unable to repay principal and interest, and interest rate risk, the risk that the security may decrease in value if
interest rates increase.
International/Emerging Market Securities or Funds: Investing in international securities or funds that invest in these securities takes on special risk. These risks include, but
are not limited to, currency risk, political risk, and risk associated with varying accounting standards. Investing in emerging markets normally accentuates these risks.
Sector Funds or Portfolios: he investor should note that funds or portfolios that invest exclusively in one sector or industry carry additional risks. The lack of industry
diversification subjects the investor to increased industry specific risks.
Non-Diversified Funds or Portfolios: Non-Diversified Funds or Portfolios that invest more of their assets in a single issuer involve additional risks, including share price
fluctuations, because of increased concentration of investments.
Small Cap Securities or Funds: The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks are generally more volatile than large company stocks. They often involve higher risks
because small- and mid-cap companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths to endure adverse
economic conditions.
High Yield Bonds or Bond Funds: Investing in lower rated debt securities (commonly referred to as junk bonds) or funds that invest in such securities involves additional risk
because of the lower credit quality of the security or fund portfolio. These securities or funds are subject to a higher level of volatility and increased risk of default, or loss of
principal. In addition to market risk, there are certain other risks associated with an investment in a convertible bond, such as default risk, the risk that the company issuing
debt securities will be unable to repay principal and interest and interest rate risk, the risk that the security may decrease in value if interest rates increase.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS): Investing in REITS involves special risks, including the potential for illiquidity of REIT securities if they are not listed on an exchange.
REITS have limited historical data and their historical behavior has varied over time.
Government Bonds and Treasury Bills are guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and if held to maturity, as with all bonds offer a fixed rate of return and principal.
Stocks are not guaranteed, represent ownership in a company and offer long term growth potential but may fluctuate more and provide less current income than other
investments.
