The first book to close the perilous gaps inâ€â€and enhance the performance ofâ€â€asset allocation

Asset allocation is one of today’s bestknown investment approaches. Problem is, its major preceptâ€â€that a magic-number, fixed-percentage asset mix will provide superior results for investors who have dramatically different goals and needsâ€â€is scientifically unproven and fundamentally flawed.

Showing investors how to design low-risk portfolios that more accurately and successfully dedicate assets, this breakthrough book helps investors fill in the gaps inherent to asset allocation by demonstrating:

* Techniques for ascertaining the best asset mix by determining individual needs and goals
* How asset dedication provides superior protection against inflation and market risk
* Investing strategies for the three investment life phasesâ€â€accumulation, distribution, and transfer
