The Importance of Asset Allocation

The practice of asset allocation, based on empirical evidence, may provide the diversification you need to meet your financial goals. Here’s an overview:

  • Asset allocation. Asset allocation is the practice of placing your investment dollars in an appropriate mix of stocks, bonds and cash instruments in an effort to control risk.
  • Empirical evidence. Numerous studies have validated the concept of asset allocation as the most important contributor of future investment success. These studies have found that most of long-term performance gains come from an investor’s asset allocation strategy, rather than specific fund or security selection strategy.
  • Diversification. Diversification is the cornerstone of asset allocation. This strategy spreads your investment dollars among a number of different types of stock, bond and money market funds. A well-diversified portfolio enhances your chances of achieving your financial goals while reducing your risk.

To invest in a mutual fund or learn more about how Thrivent Investment Management can help you achieve your financial goals, contact a Thrivent Financial representative today.

Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

Investing in a mutual fund involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. The prospectus contains more complete information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund which investors should read and consider carefully before investing.
