Portfolio structure: assets, weights, objectives

The Architecture of Smart Investing

A well-structured portfolio aligns asset allocation with financial goals through deliberate weighting and clear objectives.

Core Structural Elements

1. Asset Class Framework

  • Core Holdings (60-70%): Broad market ETFs, blue-chip stocks
  • Satellite Positions (20-30%): Thematic investments, active strategies
  • Opportunistic (10-15%): High-conviction QuantWave forecasts

2. Strategic Weighting Guidelines

Objective Equity Weight Fixed Income Alternatives
Capital Preservation 30-40% 50-60% 10%
Balanced Growth 60-70% 20-30% 10-15%
Aggressive Growth 80-90% 5-10% 5-10%

Objective-Based Construction
