"Fixed allocation" refers to the specific distribution or division of resources, funds, or tasks in a set and unchangeable manner. It means that the allocated amounts or proportions cannot be altered or adjusted after they have been assigned.
Full definition
Meanwhile, market timing provides comparable risks and the same average asset allocation as a 50/50
fixed allocation strategy, but with much higher returns.
Another alternative strategy is equal weighting, or assigning the
same fixed allocation to every stock in the index.
It could be that a
simple fixed allocation works plenty fine, and that selling winners and doubling down on losers is the fundamental driver of returns.
This is more than competitive to the 30 - year survivability claimed by early researchers using
fixed allocations of stocks and commercial paper.
The fit associated with the 1871 - 1980 data is surprisingly good in light of the anomaly associated with P / E10
for fixed allocations.
Latch and Hold retains the substantial advantage of switching over
fixed allocations in times of high valuations.
It is much more difficult with Valuation Informed Indexing and the conventional,
fixed allocation Safe Withdrawal Rate approach.
It calculates the
optimal fixed allocation of stocks and TIPS subject to constraint B. Constraint B limits the allocation of stocks and TIPS to 20 % to 80 %.
It is in the Big Project folder, listed as CTVR Calc A. I have
included fixed allocations of 20 %, 50 % and 80 % stocks and TIPS in CTVR Calculator A. I renamed portfolios SwAT and SwOptT to CSwAT and CSwOptT to make it clear that the final balance is other than zero.

Fixed Allocation investing, as well as your investing style — aggressive, moderate, balanced, conservative or stable.
That language is a bit confusing, because Title I is a formula grant program where districts
receive fixed allocations based on the number of poor students they serve, as well as the overall funding levels in the state.
2) About 4.4 % of the original balance (plus inflation) using a
traditional fixed allocation, liquidation approach, selling stocks for income and always withdrawing the same amount in terms of inflation adjusted dollars.
Users will find that they can
trounce fixed allocation approaches easily by varying stock allocations according to valuations (P / E10 levels).
My research shows that this costs up to 0.3 % in the Safe Withdrawal Rate, but it is much, much better than the one -
decision fixed allocation advice we see so often.
When only holding shares in a Hargreaves Lansdown ISA their fee is capped at # 45 PA. ** based on Nutmeg's
unmanaged Fixed allocation portfolios.
Prior to 7/1/09, the Fund had a

with fixed allocations: 4.2 % (plus inflation) with 50 % stocks and 4.1 % (plus inflation) with 80 % stocks.

The thread was launched to explore research by Wade Pfau (Associate Professor of Economics at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo, Japan) showing that Valuation - Informed Indexing beat Buy - and - Hold in 102 of the 110 rolling 30 - year time - periods now in the historical record and that long - term timing provides comparable risk and the same average asset allocation as a 50/50
fixed allocation strategy but with much higher returns.
Latch and Hold retains the advantage of switching versus
fixed allocations in times of high valuations.
This brings the lowest Historical Surviving Withdrawal Rate above 4.6 % (but below 4.7 %), which is about half of the way between
using fixed allocations (around 4 %) and using switching (above 5 %).
