BALANCED
PORTFOLIO
A balanced portfolio is an investment strategy designed to achieve a moderate level of risk and return by diversifying assets across both equities (stocks) and fixed-income securities (bonds). This type of portfolio aims to provide a balance between growth and income, combining the potential for capital appreciation from stocks with the stability and income generation of bonds. The typical allocation for a balanced portfolio is roughly 50% equities and 50% fixed-income securities, though this can vary based on individual risk tolerance and investment goals.
