Asset allocation and diversification can help you strike the right balance between risk and return in your portfolio. Holding a broad range of investments can help lessen the impact that any one economic or market event will have on your portfolio. That’s because different investments gain or lose value at different rates and at different times.
Asset allocation refers to the different weightings of stocks, bonds and cash in your portfolio. Because these three asset classes have tended to have varying rates of return and risk profiles, asset allocation plays a role in helping you achieve your investment goal.
Diversification takes this process one step further by spreading your money across different investments within the same asset class. Rather than trying to figure out which type of stock or bond will perform best, you’ll invest in many types. Over time, the ups of one investment have the potential to balance out the downs of another, with the goal of reducing the risk level in your portfolio.
This portfolio is allocated across the three main asset classes. Your asset allocation will depend on your investment goal, time horizon and risk tolerance.
While stocks still have the same percentage allocation, this shows how stocks are now diversified across investments that vary by size and geography.
Spanning four continents, our utilities portfolio benefits from steady, inflation-linked cash flows.
We own and operate port, rail and toll road assets moving freight, bulk commodities and passengers across five continents.
Our energy businesses in North America and Asia Pacific generate stable revenues through long-term contracts with large-scale customers.
District Energy, Canada — Acquired in 2012, our North American district energy systems provide large-scale heating and cooling services to commercial buildings and campuses, benefiting from predictable, inflation-linked cash flows.
We own and operate businesses that provide essential services and critical infrastructure to transmit and store data globally.
French Telecommunications Infrastructure — In 2015, we acquired an interest in TAF, the largest independent communication infrastructure business in France, which serves the media broadcasting and telecom sectors. With 7,000 towers and rooftop sites and 5,500 km of fiber backbone, TAF is a utility-like infrastructure asset with high barriers to entry. Its growth will be driven by continued site deployments by mobile network operators responding to rising levels of mobile data consumption.
Our 40+ Arco Communities — sometimes called associate resource groups — empower our people to help lift the voices of everyone at Arco Assets Management.
