Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're planning your portfolio game
Strategic allocation sets the frame
Long-term policy weights from your IPS
Based on your goals and risk you can stress
Stocks and bonds in perfect balance
Time horizons guide your talents

[Chorus]
Strategic stays, tactical plays
Mean-variance shows you the ways
Black-Litterman, risk parity too
Liability methods will guide you through
Allocation is the foundation stone
Building wealth you can call your own

[Verse 2]
Tactical allocation takes a turn
Short-term market views help you earn
Deviate from strategic base
When opportunities show their face
But don't stray too far from home
Your long-term plan keeps you in zone

[Chorus]
Strategic stays, tactical plays
Mean-variance shows you the ways
Black-Litterman, risk parity too
Liability methods will guide you through
Allocation is the foundation stone
Building wealth you can call your own

[Verse 3]
Mean-variance optimization's clean
Risk and return dance in between
Black-Litterman adds your views
To market data you can use
Risk parity spreads the weight
Equal risk keeps returns straight

[Bridge]
Liability-relative takes a stance
Surplus optimization's your advance
Goals-based allocation targets dreams
Each bucket serves specific schemes

[Verse 4]
Time to rebalance, keep it tight
Calendar dates or percentage sight
Corridor method sets the bands
When assets drift, take action with your hands
Monthly, quarterly, or yearly call
Discipline matters most of all

[Chorus]
Strategic stays, tactical plays
Currency hedging through the days
Minimum-variance hedge ratio
Cross hedges when you need to go
Allocation is the foundation stone
Building wealth you can call your own

[Outro]
Emerging markets need special care
Currency risks are always there
Strategic hedging or tactical views
Asset allocation wins when you choose
