Asset Allocation Model
"Process" refers to the way in which the overall philosophy is implemented. For example, which universe of assets is explored before a particular asset allocation model is chosen as a suitable investment? We have to distinguish between normal returns, provided by the fair reward for portfolio exposure to different risks, and obtained through passive management, from abnormal performance (or outperformance) due to the manager’s skill, whether through market timing or stock picking. There are a range of different styles of fund management an institution can implement to suit your needs. The 3-P's (Philosophy, Process and People) are often used to describe the reasons why the manager is able to produce above average results.

Countries such as China and India offer huge potential and many companies are showing an increased focus in this region. An asset allocationr model was developed as an alternative to the CAPM, allowing a better description of portfolio risks and an accurate evaluation of managers’ performance.
Asset Allocation Model: The largest financial fund managers are firms that exhibit all the complexity their size demands. After-tax represents the benefit to the investor, but investors tax positions may vary. Before tax measurement can be misleading, especially in regimens that tax realised capital gains (and not unrealised). You will need 3 to 5 years to smooth out very short term fluctuations in performance and the influence of the business cycle. This all needs to be considered when planning your asset management. The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment management of collective investments, whilst the more generic fund management may refer to all forms of institutional investment as well as investment management for private investors.
