A common and time-tested portfolio design is called Core and Satellite. This structure is just as it sounds: You begin with the \u201ccore\u201d\u2014a large-cap stock fund\u2014which represents the largest portion of your portfolio and builds around the core with the \u201csatellite\u201d funds, which will each represent smaller portions of your portfolio.<br \/>\nUse Different Types of Fund Categories for the Structure<br \/>\nWith a large-cap stock fund as your core, different types of funds\u2014the \u201csatellites\u201d\u2014will complete the structure of your mutual fund portfolio. These other funds can include mid-cap stock, small-cap stock, foreign stock, fixed income (bond), sector funds and money market funds.<br \/>\nKnow Your Risk Tolerance<br \/>\nBefore choosing your funds, you need to have a good idea of how much risk you can tolerate. Your risk tolerance is a measure of how much fluctuation (a.k.a. volatility\u2014ups and downs) or market risk you can handle.<br \/>\nDetermine Your Asset Allocation<br \/>\nOnce you determine your level of risk tolerance, you can determine your asset allocation, which is the mix of investment assets\u2014stocks, bonds, and cash\u2014that comprises your portfolio.<br \/>\nThe proper asset allocation will reflect your level of risk tolerance, which can be described as either aggressive (high tolerance for risk), moderate (medium risk tolerance) or conservative (low-risk tolerance). The higher your risk tolerance the more stocks you will have in relation to bonds and cash in your portfolio; and the lower your risk tolerance, the lower your percentage of stocks in relation to bonds and cash.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nLearn How to Choose the Best Funds<br \/>\nNow that you know your asset allocation, all that remains is choosing the best funds for you. If you have a broad choice of mutual funds you begin by using a fund screener or you may simply compare performance to a benchmark. You\u2019ll also want to consider important qualities of mutual funds, such as fund fees and expenses and manager tenure.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe old way of asset allocation was \u201cinvest for your age,\u201d where your age is a number of bonds in your portfolio. For example, if you are 40 years old, your asset allocation would be 40% bonds and 60% stocks. Today, people are living longer so this asset allocation strategy is not as valid as it once was.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFor more on building a portfolio of mutual funds, see these sample portfolio designs: Aggressive Mutual Fund Portfolio Sample, Moderate Mutual Fund Portfolio Sample, and Conservative Mutual Fund Portfolio Sample.<br \/>\nPORTFOLIO CAN ALSO BE CLASSIFIED AS:<br \/>\na.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Growth Fund: \u2013<br \/>\nThe Fund invests 85 % in stocks and 15% in Debts.
