Implementing an Effective Diversified Strategy
Effective Diversification
Global broad asset class expands opportunity
Intelligent risk taking with a focus on compensated risks
Adding high return assets to increase return and potentially decrease risk
Folly of Gaming Diversification
Investors try to outsmart markets
Investors abandon diversified positions to sidestep impending risks or crowd into area of strong returns
Reactionary in nature and directionally wrong

Capital Market ReturnsCapital market returns vary widely over time, making asset allocation decisions difficult and successful market timing virtually impossible.
