process of distributing investments across various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, cash, real estate, and commodities. It is carried out to achieve the desired risk and return profile. The main goal of this process is to balance the risk and reward potential of an investment portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different asset classes have different levels of risk and return characteristics.

Business goals may include objectives such as capital appreciation, income generation, or capital preservation. Risk tolerance refers to an investor&#8217;s willingness and ability to tolerate fluctuations in the value of investments.
