The Preservation investor profile

A profile like this usually puts protecting the money first, because it may be needed soon or because big swings feel uncomfortable. That is why an example for this profile leans heavily on steadier asset classes and keeps growth assets small.

An illustrative allocation

Here is the kind of structure a profile like this might explore — by asset class, never specific products. The ranges are illustrative, not a recommendation.

Asset classIllustrative range
Global equities5–15%
Bonds40–55%
Real estate & alternatives0–10%
Cash & equivalents20–35%
Crypto0%

Illustrative example, by asset class only. Not a recommendation — investing involves risk, including loss of capital.

How the pieces fit

Stability leads here: a large share in bonds and cash cushions the ups and downs, while a small slice of global equities leaves room to grow. Crypto is left out for this profile.
