Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah builds her portfolio like blueprints on a desk
Investment Policy Statement guides her every quest
Risk tolerance and timeline, objectives crystal clean
Long-term policy weights create her financial scheme

[Chorus]
Strategic allocation, foundation strong and true
Sixty stocks and forty bonds, that's the classic view
Policy weights stay steady when the markets dance around
Asset classes balanced, keep your feet upon the ground
S-A-A, plan your way, let the policy weights stay

[Verse 2]
Equities for growth potential, fixed income for peace
Real estate and commodities help diversification increase
Young investors chase returns with higher equity stakes
Older folks need income streams, conservative choice they make

[Chorus]
Strategic allocation, foundation strong and true
Sixty stocks and forty bonds, that's the classic view
Policy weights stay steady when the markets dance around
Asset classes balanced, keep your feet upon the ground
S-A-A, plan your way, let the policy weights stay

[Bridge]
Target allocations anchor your decisions
Review them annually, make careful revisions
IPS objectives drive the percentages you choose
Stick to the plan when headlines make you want to lose

[Verse 3]
When technology surges up or emerging markets fall
Don't abandon your allocation, heed your policy call
Rebalancing brings you back to predetermined weights
Discipline beats emotion when your portfolio navigates

[Chorus]
Strategic allocation, foundation strong and true
Sixty stocks and forty bonds, that's the classic view
Policy weights stay steady when the markets dance around
Asset classes balanced, keep your feet upon the ground
S-A-A, plan your way, let the policy weights stay

[Outro]
Long-term vision conquers short-term market noise
Strategic asset allocation, make it your first choice
