UBS outlines how investors can use 'satellite' strategies to complement core portfolios for risk mitigation, tactical growth, or long-term multi-generational objectives.
Key Takeaways
- 1.A core portfolio should be diversified across assets, typically including 30-70% stocks and 15-50% fixed income.
- 2.Satellite portfolios can be used to manage risk (capital preservation) or capture tactical growth opportunities like Chinese technology firms.
- 3.Farsighted investors with an 'endowment' style may benefit from a 20-40% allocation to alternative investments such as private equity and hedge funds.
