Using an analogy from Cricket, a winning cricket team has good mix of Batsman, Bowler & all-rounders; likewise in Investment, a successful investment strategy need to have mix of Equity, Bonds & Gold as the pitch/market conditions are always uncertain. The empirical research also brings out the same outcome with over 90% returns attributable to allocation and only 10% to selection.
Asset allocation is a time-tested strategy, which is still as relevant as it was in the last century. Infact asset allocation theme is gaining traction as the equity and bond market moves, according to some, are trading beyond fair valued status.
We at LIC AMC believe that asset allocation creates long term wealth with lower volatility. LIC AMC Proudly presents to you “LICMF All Weather Asset Allocator PMS”; a Discretionary PMS strategy that will invest in equity, bonds & gold on the principal tenets of asset allocation.
