Asset Allocation Model Portfolios

Our asset allocation model portfolios were created using risk balancing and simulation modeling. These portfolios are a simple way for you to have a diversified investment portfolio that needs nothing more than annual rebalancing. Of course you can do better than that by following our active allocation strategy, but you do not need to do that to achieve much better results than 99% of the investment choices being offered to you today, including the Target Date Mutual Funds offered by major mutual fund companies that give no consideration to the risk of the current market environment. In addition to our simulation results, we have included the hypothetical performance results that you could have achieved since we started our newsletter in 2003, or over the past 10 years.

PerformanceSince1999

Active Asset Allocation uses stock market return extremes to rebalance our portfolio between the Retirement Asset Allocation, Conservative Asset Allocation, Insightful Asset Allocation and Aggressive Asset Allocation depending on the stock market environment.
