031 Investing explained: Asset allocation
This episode is a little different from most of my podcast episodes in that I don’t have a guest with me today.
In fact, this is the first in a series of episodes where I will answer the questions I’m asked most often about investing and the elements of investing where the most confusion tends to lie.
My aim is to make what can be complex financial jargon into something we can all understand.
First up is ‘asset allocation’. In this episode, I explain the different types of asset classes and how to ensure your asset allocation is suitable for you. I use the analogy of separating clothes in your wardrobe according to their role or style to explain how we allocate your assets into specific roles.
