How To Copy A Fund Manager For Better Asset Allocation TechniquesWithout a doubt, asset allocation can be one of the toughest jobs for any private investor. The mere fact that most of us own a residential property means that our investment weightings are heavily biased. It is also something that is very often overlooked - especially by less experienced investors. As a rule, if a new-ish investor asks about something, it will be, 'What stock should I buy?'. However, when talking to an experienced money manager, the topic of conversation will usually be about differing asset classes and diversification. The beginner can and should try to learn from this. It is therefore vital that we all try and learn at least a little from the way a real fund manager operates and how he (or she) applies logical and profitable asset allocation methods. My hope is that the following articles will enable you to pick up some of these important ideas and that you will be able to apply their principles to your own investment portfolio. As computing power multiplies and is used in ever more sophisticated ways, fund and money management theories are moving quickly and so it is important for the private investor to understand new thinking and methods of analysis. If you are serious about investment, you need to be serious about this too. I simply cannot stress just how vital this is. Each of the pages listed below was initially an article published in my free monthly email newsletter during 2006. Good luck with your own portfolio!
