Introduction:
In the wake of the recent financial crisis, fund trustees, plan sponsors, and administrators are reconsidering traditional asset-allocation strategies. With increasing numbers of people approaching retirement age, the need to manage financial risks through more effective strategies is clear and urgent. Fortunately, there are a number of promising approaches available to help funds select, implement, and administer the appropriate strategies.
The recent financial crisis has prompted many questions about the security of retirement funds. With the importance of the retirement sector growing as larger numbers of people approach the end of their working lives, defined contribution (DC) retirement plans in particular are coming under increasing scrutiny because of their vulnerability to sustained market downturns.
The steep market downturn between late 2007 and early 2009 exposed many flaws in traditional asset-allocation principles and risk-management techniques. Consequently, many DC plan administrators are reassessing their approaches, paying special attention to structures and strategies that are designed to manage risk more effectively. This article highlights a number of popular strategies, identifies issues for consideration, and offers a view of the potential implications and evolution of DC systems around the world.
Objective of the study:
• To study the factor that influence investment behavior of the people.
• To study the attitude of the respondents towards different strategies of asset allocation.
