Asset allocation: long-term mix of assets has been one of the key to effective
portfolio management that has been based on the knowledge about the
different types of the assets and their nature of volatility and concert.

assets or class of the assets that has been a spreading of the rewards and risks
among asset class.
Rebalancing: Returning the portfolio into real target location within an interval
of a year can be described as the key actor for the PPPM. Reflecting on the
investor’s return or risk profile is a crucial aspect for the retaining the asset mix.

delivery of this project.
