Asset allocation kya hai, kaise karein, age-based allocation — complete Hindi guide Indian investors ke liye.
Asset allocation ka matlab hai apne investments ko alag-alag asset classes mein distribute karna — stocks, bonds, gold, cash — based on risk tolerance, goals, aur time horizon.
Simple definition: > Asset allocation = "Kitna paisa kahan lagana hai." Stocks mein kitna, bonds mein kitna, gold mein kitna — ye decide karna.
Ye paanch baatein dhyaan mein rakho:
• Equity (Stocks) — Risk: High, Return: 12-15%, Best For: Growth, long-term
• Debt (Bonds/FD) — Risk: Low, Return: 6-8%, Best For: Stability, income
• Gold — Risk: Medium, Return: 8-10%, Best For: Hedge, inflation protection
• Real Estate — Risk: Medium, Return: 8-12%, Best For: Long-term wealth
• Cash — Risk: Very Low, Return: 3-4%, Best For: Emergency, liquidity
Rule of Thumb: 100 - Age = Equity %:

• Age 35: 65% equity, 35% debt/gold
• Age 45: 55% equity, 45% debt/gold
• Age 55: 45% equity, 55% debt/gold
• Age 65: 35% equity, 65% debt/gold

Aggressive (High Risk):
• Large + Mid + Small Cap — 70%
• International — 10%
• Gold — 10%
• Debt — 5%

• Time horizon kitna hai?
• Income stable hai?
Step 2: Choose Allocation:

Step 4: Invest & Rebalance:

• Age badhne ke saath adjust karo
"Bahut aggressive hoon!" — Ek crash mein 50% loss. Debt/gold zaroori hai for stability.
"Risk nahi lena" — Inflation se purchasing power girti hai. Equity zaroori hai for growth.
Gold hedge ka kaam karta hai. Jab stocks girein, gold usually badhta hai.
25 saal ki umar mein allocation aur 55 mein same nahi hona chahiye. Age ke saath adjust karo.
"Bull market hai, 100% equity rakhta hoon" — Plan ke according rakhao, emotions se nahi.
