Asset allocation is the dominant driver of
long-term returns
Focus our research efforts primarily on the
mix of stocks, bonds, non-correlated
investments and cash in the portfolio
Net of fees, few active managers consistently
beat their benchmarks
Use ETFs to implement our strategic views
on asset classes in a cost-efficient manner
Diversification is important in all market
environments
Take a disciplined approach to
diversification and avoid oversized “bets” on
particular asset classes or markets
