FYI: When building a portfolio to meet a specific objective, it is critical to select a combination
of assets that offers the best chance for meeting that objective, subject to the investor’s
constraints. A sound investment strategy starts with an asset allocation that is built upon
reasonable expectations for risk and returns and uses diversified investments to avoid
exposure to unnecessary risks.
This paper reviews the investment decisions individual investors face when constructing
a globally diversified portfolio.
