Determining Portfolio Performance
When it comes to portfolio construction, research shows that asset allocation can be one of the most important factors to influence overall performance. According to multiple academic studies, more than 90% of a portfolio’s success is determined by asset allocation. In addition, determining the correct investment classes, as well as the proper percentage to hold in each portfolio, is paramount to long-term success.
Portfolio Performance is Determined By*:
