In short…

Bonds outperformed equities from 2001 to Mid 2003

Equities outperformed bonds from mid 2003 onwards

However, HYBRID PORTFOLIOS with 15-50% exposure to equities HAVE

DELIVERED THE BEST RISK-ADJUSTED RETURN over the period

analysed

Its difficult to make a timely shift from one asset class to another

The best strategy is to opt for an asset allocation which delivers
