Investment strategy: Asset allocation is the process of choosing which portion of your investment portfolio will go to what kinds of investments. Imagine yourself 5 years after graduation, ready to invest your savings to maximize your lifetime returns. You ponder on what investment strategy to follow and visit three investment companies, which describe their strategy for asset allocation.
