ASS E T ALLOCAT ION ANALYST
OBJECTIVE: RETIREMENT
Your investor ProfileWHO yOu ArE IN tErMs OF INvEstMENt
the first step in analyzing your investment portfolio is to precisely determine your ability and willingness for risk. this is determined through the Investment Questionnaire. After completing the questionnaire we can determine your optimal asset mix.
the Investor Decision grid addresses the basic issues at the heart of any sound personal investment strategy: the nature of the returns required; the tolerance for short-term losses, or downside risk; the projected time horizon for the particular investment. your answers to
07
questions in the grid lead to a proposed strategic asset allocation portfolio that fits your financial needs, providing a suitable balance between return and downside risk.

Asset allocation is based on the notion that for each investor profile there is an optimal allocation of the invested capital that offers maximal return expectations consistent with acceptable risk. this is called the efficient frontier.
the strategic asset allocation portfolio that you agree on with your advisor based on your investment questionnaire becomes your benchmark portfolio. It reflects long-term objectives, regardless of the short-term market outlook. to help align your current asset allocation with the proposed, mutual fund investments
09
are unbundled into their pure asset class components using certain simplification assumptions. the assumed breakdown of a fund can be viewed from within the software. Portfolios that are not found on the efficient frontier may be re-allocated to achieve a higher expected return for a given level of risk.

Bruce Harrop runs the show here, and the standardtrimark investment philosophy is followed. Harrop has a DCF model for each company in the portfolio, and its purpose is to establish an expected return for each stock. securities are ranked by expected return, and in general, the higher the expected return, the higher the weighting in the fund. the asset allocation decision is also based a bottom-up process. Harrop speaks regu-larly with rex Chong, who runs the fixed income portion of the fund, and dollars are shifted to the manager with
27
the better investment opportunities. stocks are sold for one of three reasons: 1) A better opportunity existselsewhere, 2) the investment managers made a mistake, and 3) the valuation target has been reached. Most of the equity exposure is to non-u.s. names and a good chunk of the bond component is innon-Canadian issues. this will tend to be a fairly conservative portfolio and in-vestors should find comfort in knowing that Harrop also has the talents of trimark’s global team backing him.
