Multi-asset portfolios mix stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate and, if necessary, alternative investments. Goal: better risk-adjusted returns through low correlations. A classic 60/40 portfolio is the simplest option.

Context for investors and traders

For investors, the term becomes practical in the context of objectives, time horizon, risk capacity and costs. A suitable solution can differ between two people even when they consider the same product or metric.

How to use this in practice

Use the term first to describe the situation and add verifiable data: time frame, benchmark, costs and liquidity. Only then does it become an assessment that can be connected to an investment objective and risk budget.
