Do you need growth or income or a combination of both? Successful retirement portfolios should reflect your unique needs, as well as an appropriate level of risk for where you are in your retirement journey. 

These factors, combined with J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions (LTCMA), shape our asset allocation portfolios, which are designed to help you determine how you may allocate across asset classes to achieve your retirement goals.

Asset allocation portfolios

Our asset allocation portfolios framework is designed to help you determine how you may allocate across asset classes to achieve your retirement goals. Using diversification, this could help reduce volatility and potentially increase return.

¹ Volatility is measured in standard deviation. Standard deviation for the portfolio is a statistical estimate measuring how dispersed returns are around an average. Standard deviation is not meant to be a prediction of fund or model volatility, and actual volatility of any portfolio based in whole or in part on the models shown will vary and may be higher.
² Sharpe ratio is a measure for calculating risk-adjusted return. It is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility.
