Diversification

Purpose Wealth defines investing as taking compensated risk and avoiding speculative risk. In terms of economic theory, speculative risk is uncompensated and can be reduced through broad diversification. By removing uncompensated risk, a diversified portfolio is better-positioned to deliver superior long-term compounded returns.

The primary components of a diversified portfolio should have projected earnings, dividends or interest to generate expected returns. Including non-correlated components without an expected return may help to reduce risk, but diversification is about avoiding uncompensated risk, not about avoiding all risk.

Sample Balanced Allocations

The above allocations are simply examples. Purpose Wealth does not offer "model" portfolios. Instead, portfolios are designed around a client's unique cirmumstance.
