Asset Allocation Project edit

Firstly thank you for inviting me to help in your project. I have looked at the Asset Allocation page. My thoughts are these:

  • Also, the "type, market and time horizon" indicators you have chosen are very narrow and specific. This type of data is generally only provided by specialist data providers. Why not take a more global approach and consider broader markets and different types of sector definitions. Try IMA sectors and Morningstar Categories for inspiration. Ask yourself why the US market classifies equities in Japan and Spain in the same "international" equity sector, and almost everywhere else in the world, markets are differetiated into broad geographic devisions at the very least. The definition of the sector has an enormous effect on the types of data you are seeking and therefore impacts on it's usefulness.

I hope you find this input useful, regards simonthebold 21:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
