In short… FIDELITY INTERNATIONAL
Bonds outperformed equities from 2001 to Mid 2003
Equities outperformed bonds from mid 2003 onwards
However, HYBRID PORTFOLIOS with 15-50% exposure to equities HAVE
DELIVERED THE BEST RISK-ADJUSTED RETURN over the period analysed
Its difficult to make a timely shift from one asset class to another The best strategy is to opt for an asset allocation which delivers maximum return at desired risk level 22
