Strategic Asset Allocation analysis using the Conning Allocation Optimizer® software provides critical insights on investment risk and return. The software’s stochastic optimization engine rapidly evaluates thousands of possible asset allocation strategies across thousands of possible future states of the economy and financial markets. The set of all portfolios that maximize reward at a given level of risk is referred to as the efficient frontier, and the strategy that maximizes a company’s business objectives while staying within its identified risk tolerance is referred to as the optimal investment strategy.
