Subject: Using Asset Allocation to Build a Core Portfolio
Speaker: Ty Hughes, President, DC Regional Chapter, BetterInvesting;
            Lifetime Member, AAII; Investor for more than 40yrs.

Our own Ty Hughes plans to discuss how to build a core portfolio using asset allocation. He will review the academic research that shows why asset allocation works and why it provides superior results over the long term. He will walk through -- step-by-step -- how to combine various equity and fixed income asset classes to increase portfolio return, reduce risk, and lower cost. He will explain which index funds and ETFs to use and which to avoid. Finally, he will provide some spreadsheets that you can use to build, monitor, and re-balance your portfolio and to back-test different asset allocations.

Ty maintains the Model Investment Club web site and you can see some of his research and analysis by visiting that site. Explore the menu's on the right side to see more of the Model Club or Ty's research.
