Innovative approaches to putting asset allocation into practice Building on more than 15 years of asset-allocation research, Paul D. Kaplan, who led the development of the methodologies behind the Morningstar Rating(TM) and the Morningstar Style Box(TM), tackles key challenges investor professionals face when putting asset-allocation theory into practice. This book addresses common issues such as:
- How should asset classes be defined?
- Should equities be divided into asset classes based on investment style, geography, or other factors?
- Should asset classes be represented by market-cap-weighted indexes or should other principles, such as fundamental weights, be used?
- How do actively managed funds fit into asset-class mixes?
