Even for client portfolios focused on long term capital appreciation, we proactively alter our target asset mix among equities, fixed income and cash to reflect our current views of the relative risk / reward tradeoff between each asset class. As part of our process, this tactical asset allocation is regularly monitored and adjusted, if necessary, across our client portfolios to ensure that all asset allocations reflect our current views on risk and opportunity. Tactical asset allocation is only one step in our investment process, but it is an important component in achieving our twin objectives of capital preservation and long term capital appreciation.
