A credit market bull run
This raises several questions: How long will this last? What will happen in the markets and in portfolios when the cycle ends? And most importantly, how to manage for all of this? Our answer at TIAA’s General Account is broader and deeper diversification.
Creating resilient portfolios
The GA’s strategic asset allocation provides guardrails designed to help us deliver on our core promises to our participants today and in the future. Our annual dynamic asset allocation highlights investment areas of relative value and risks given the near-term state of the markets. While our shorter-term tactical asset allocation allows us to respond to quickly shifting market conditions as we move up or down the risk spectrum, investing in assets that offer appropriate compensation for taking on that risk.
Asset allocation plans that allow investors to achieve return objectives through different market conditions help create resilient portfolios. The challenge is sticking to them when conditions are volatile and difficult, and trading off short-term optimality for the benefits of achieving long-term investment objectives. Following these plans, however, will improve the chances of future success.
