Asset allocation is the distribution of a portfolio's assets into various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, cash, real estate or alternative investments. Changing your asset allocation can increase or decrease the risk in your portfolio and can increase or decrease how much your portfolio earns. Accordingly, asset allocation should reflect your goals, age and risk tolerance.
This calculator lets you play with a few basic asset allocations to see how shifting some of your assets to other asset classes could affect how your portfolio might grow. Remember that past performance is not indicative of future returns.
