Asset Class Investing

Buckingham Strategic Partners supports Access Financial Planning with asset class investing for clients. Asset class investing is based on asset classes, or groups of securities with similar risk characteristics, like small company stocks, large company stock, or international bonds. As opposed to index investing, which attempts to replicate the performance of an index, asset class investing attempts to capture the performance of a particular market segment. Asset class investing provides more flexibility for portfolio managers to respond to market conditions and capitalize on factors which impact return while still maintaining the low cost structure and broad diversification of index investing.
