Many experts believe that long-term investment success is more a function of how assets are allocated among asset classes rather than the individual securities in which they are invested. This asset allocation tool will help you to identify a potential mix of cash, bonds, and stocks that corresponds to your personal demographics and your investment experience. These sample mixes are only examples and are not specific recommendations. If you want a more detailed view of an allocation that relates to your individual needs and preferences, your financial advisor has on-line access to sophisticated financial planning software and would be happy to provide you with a more highly individualized analysis.
