Morningstar Investment Management White Paper by David Blanchett Optimal Asset Allocation When assets exist to fund a liability, how should the asset allocation policy be determined? The Traditional Approach asset-only mean-variance optimization followed perhaps by a Monte Carlo Simulation Surplus optimization (a.k.a. asset-liability optimization approach) True Risk What is the TRUE risk for a portfolio that exists to fund (pay for) a liability? It is NOT the standard deviation of the asset portfolio It is NOT the performance of your asset portfolio relative to the asset portfolios of your peers The TRUE risk is that it won t be able to pay for the liability!

8 Time Diversification Debate Optimal Portfolios for the Long Run Zvi Bodie, Ph.D. Boston University Having a long time horizon and being risk averse are two completely different things. The popular literature has basically said if you have a long time horizon you're tolerant towards risk. That's the fundamental fallacy. Source: NAPFA 2004 Conference Stocks are relatively safer in the long run than random walk theory would predict. Doesn't mean they're safe. The whole point is that they are relatively safer... Does the fact that equity returns display long run mean reversion change your equity strategy? The answer is definitely yes. Change your allocation strategy? The answer is definitely yes.

10 Parting Thoughts on Time Diversification Strong evidence that stocks can be more attractive for longrun investors Mean reversion drives long-run equity advantage Reward for ignoring short-run performance Written investment policy statement and target-date funds can help maintain long-run focus Provides empirical evidence for using bucket approaches Conclusions Conclusions Disclosures Financial assets are often only a small part of investor s total wealth (regardless of investor-type) There are different approaches to building portfolios that result in different right answers The risk of equities is not static over time 2014 Morningstar.
