Asset allocation tool
Asset allocation tool to effect the asset allocation
required by your clients after recent market turmoil:
• Allocate 1% of your portfolio to increase exposure away from
traditional asset classes adding diversification.

• 1% will add approx 10% exposure to your portfolio – while only risking
1%

• The correlation of the index to other asset classes is negative, making


it an excellent addition to portfolios.

• Yield on the portfolio could pay for it in 3 months – yet gives 2 years of
exposure.
