Balanced funds combine a mixture of equities, fixed income
products and cash to create a balanced portfolio. Balanced
products operate at the domestic, international and global
level. Over the last decade many market professionals have
argued that balanced products are the dinosaurs of portfolio
management and will soon be history. They claimed that special
asset class selections would replace the “antique”
balanced approach. However, recent market developments have
proved that active asset allocation can add value to client
portfolios. Balanced products have returned to the limelight
worldwide.
