The Decision That Outweighs the Rest

How much sits in each asset class explains most of a portfolio's variability — far more than which specific securities were chosen.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00Which stocks you picked matters less than how much you put in stocks.
  2. 0:05The finding. Allocation across asset classes explains most of the variation in returns over time.
  3. 0:14Why it dominates. Asset classes behave differently from each other far more than holdings within one do.
  4. 0:23What sets the mix. Time horizon, the need for income, and the loss you could actually live through.
  5. 0:32The test that matters. Not what return you want. What decline you would hold through without selling.
  6. 0:40Set the mix first. Selection is the smaller decision.
