Common Questions About Portfolio Optimization

How does portfolio optimization work for Australian investors?
Portfolio optimization for Australian investors involves balancing domestic and international exposure while considering factors like currency hedging, dividend imputation credits, and superannuation strategies. Our approach accounts for ASX-specific characteristics and Australian tax considerations.
What's the difference between strategic and tactical asset allocation?
Strategic asset allocation sets your long-term target weightings based on your investment goals and risk tolerance. Tactical allocation involves making shorter-term adjustments based on market conditions and opportunities while staying within your strategic framework.
How often should I rebalance my investment portfolio?
Rebalancing frequency depends on your strategy and market conditions. Many investors rebalance quarterly or semi-annually, while others use threshold-based approaches. The key is maintaining your target asset allocation while considering transaction costs and tax implications.
What role do alternative investments play in portfolio optimization?
Alternative investments can provide diversification benefits and potentially enhance risk-adjusted returns. This includes REITs, commodities, infrastructure, and private equity. However, they require careful consideration of liquidity, fees, and complexity.
