Increase your Long Term Wealth by Investing with a Global Asset Allocation assisted by Richard Cayne Meyer

When you're looking to diversify your financial portfolio, global asset allocation makes a lot of sense. Richard Cayne Japan has knowledge and experience within the field of asset allocation and can advise you on the best global investments to grow your wealth, achieving consistently higher returns.

Creating a solid portfolio of investments and allocating assets is best left to professionals and Richard Cayne Meyer Asset Management Ltd have the credentials to ensure your financial planning creates solid returns year on year. Global asset allocation takes advantage of diverse foreign markets and allows investors to benefit from commodities, bonds, stocks and currencies across the world.

The experienced investors at Meyer International headed by Richard Cayne having lived in Japan for over 15 years will ensure your portfolio is in safe hands while at the same time seeking to vastly enhance returns with strategic global investments. Where you might expect your traditional portfolio to consist of a 60/40 stocks to bond ratio, the modern financial markets mean such strict investment strategies are no longer the optimum means to achieve the highest returns. In the United States strict 60/40 investment strategies are only forecast to achieve 4.4 percent annual growth between the years 2011 and 2020, with a strong likelihood that investors will also see negative returns on some bonds. Global asset allocation is tactical and strategic, allowing experienced financial advisors to profit in a variety of ways from world currency, equity or bond markets. You'll find that from a long term perspective your investment will generate strong returns, combined with the minimum of risk taking.

The global financial crisis led to investor jitters across a wide range of investments but placing funds into a worldwide asset allocation portfolio is still wise for investors, wanting long term and reliable returns, opposed to risky short term gains. While recent trends in the United States have seen investors focus on the S&P 500 due to market gains and increased income from a US centric portfolio, here at Meyer International in Bangkok Thailand, Richard Cayne knows that over the long term placing funds into global asset allocation will provide greater returns as the weighted investments are split between a variety of worldwide markets, ensuring added safety and better returns through diversification. Where one or two markets within a global portfolio may underperform, the variety of investments held across a variety of worldwide stock markets does assure consistent positive returns. Granted the American S&P 500 is just one asset within a global portfolio, so recent gains from purely S&P 500 dominated portfolios will be much higher, given recent increases. Over a longer time frame, however, gains such as this are smoothed out for investors who focus purely on a market such as the S&P 500, while the global investor sees gains from a variety of stock markets to ensure the income levels generated are continually on the increase.

Richard Cayne Meyer has the experience gained from many years investing in worldwide markets to ensure your global investments are reflective of the safest and most reliable assets that will perform reliably and consistently over the long time frame.

Richard Cayne Tokyo - Beta and Risk Measurement Explained

There are several ratios in the financial market that have helped brokers understand and estimate risk for years, which can help individuals make better decisions when it comes to planning their own investments. Richard Cayne of Tokyo’s leading financial and investment consultancy mentions that the Beta is one measure that will help you understand a stock’s volatility. Beta is essentially used to help gauge the fluctuations in the prices of stocks in relation to the entire market. In other words, Richard Cayne Tokyo explains that Beta is used to compare the stock market’s risk to that of the greater market, as well as the stock market’s risk in comparison with other stocks.

Analysts use regression analysis in order to arrive at the Beta value for stocks. Richard Cayne of Tokyo adds that different values of Beta show the tendency of the stock or security’s price to fluctuate with the market. For instance, a beta value of 1 means that the stock’s price will move with the market, while a value greater than 1 would mean that it is more volatile than the general market. On the other hand, Richard Cayne of Tokyo mentions that a beta value of less than one indicates that the stock is less volatile than the market.

Richard Cayne of Tokyo adds that beta essentially represents the tradeoff between minimizing and maximizing risk. Richard Cayne of Tokyo further goes ahead to explain how the beta values correlate to the market and what investors can make of them when planning their investments.

Beginning with negative beta, a value less than 0, this would mean that there is an inverse relationship with the market, where the stocks move higher in a falling market. While the possibility of this happening is highly unlikely, some investors opine that gold stocks should be assigned negative beta, since they tend to do better in an otherwise declining market.

A beta of 0 is mostly assigned to cash. Since the value of cash remains the same irrespective of which way the market moves, not taking inflation into account, it makes sense to have a beta value of 0.

As mentioned above, a beta value between 0 and 1 is the evaluation for those companies that are less volatile as compared to the rest of the market, or bear a lower risk level than other securities. Utilities generally feature such a beta value.

A beta value of 1 is used to represent the volatility of a given index as compared to the overall market, such as the S&P 500. If an index fund features a beta close to 1 it means that it will be following the trends of an index such as the S&P 500. A beta value of more than 1 makes the stock more volatile than the broad-based index, which is a characteristic found mostly in technology companies. Richard Cayne of Tokyo explains that knowing your own risk tolerance capacity and then choosing a stock after looking at its beta value will help you plan your investments better.
