characteristics, similar regulations. There are many classes but let’s consider the main 2 here: -
a) Fixed Income
b) Equities
Asset Allocation:
As you can see in the hypothetical example below which takes 100% equity allocation in one case and
100% fixed income allocation in other, that Equity investment are pretty dynamic and risky in nature but
gives nice returns. On the other hand, Fixed income is static and riskless in nature but the returns are very
low and when you count inflation, they are even less (in some cases negligible).
Asset allocation for Chetna:
Asset Allocation

40%
Fixed income
60%
Since Chetna roughly got 10 years before retirement and also got a kid and parent to take care
of, she should avoid too much of a risk-oriented portfolio. The ideal allocation for her should
be 40/60 allocation between Fixed income (low risk, low returns) and Equities (high risk, high
returns).
