Research Affiliates Asset Allocation Interactive

Global investment management firm Research Affiliates has made available its interactive asset allocation tool to Australian investors in Australian dollars.

The free tool provides 10-year expected return data for more than 130 assets and portfolios. Forecasts have also been updated to include the volatility caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

"The aim of this website and our asset allocation interactive tool is to put power into the hands of Australian investors and advisors," Mike Aked, Research Affiliates director of research for Australia, said.

"The research and tools provide investors with a richer understanding of a portfolio's potential outcomes and more informed investment decisions. A key objective is to help investors shift their focus to forward-looking returns from past performance."
